:“Parents should be able to decide where they send their kids to school,” Haley said. “So, I have said the second they can get that bill to my desk, I absolutely will sign it.”

In May 2012, Haley signed H. 3241, the Charter Schools bill, another [[ALEC]] piece of model legislation, and said of the new law: ""It is a great day in South Carolina. We will no longer settle for what we think education has to be, we will lead in this country on what education should be -- and that means options, innovation and creativity." <ref> Haley, Nikki [http://governor.sc.gov/News/May2012/Pages/default.aspx Haley, Zais, Owens Celebrate Charter Schools Bill Signing] May 14, 2012 </ref>

Haley also met with corporations like [[AT&T]], an [[ALEC]] corporation member and state co-chair of six states, to talk education reform on July 31, 2013. Pamela Lackey, president of [[AT&T]] of South Carolina said South Carolina needed education reform to "meet the needs of today's businesses." <ref> Beam, Adam [http://www.thestate.com/2013/07/31/2892219/gov-nikki-haley-meets-with-business.html Gov.

==="War on Women", Coverage of Contraception, Pro-Life Stance===

Haley says her pro-life stance does not come from her Republican ideology, but of her difficulty to have children, and her husband's adoption as an infant. She also says the mandating of organization to include contraception in their coverage in the Affordable Care Act should not be under government jurisdiction. <ref name = "CNN: The Situation Room"> [http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1204/05/sitroom.01.html CNN: The Situation Room] April 5, 2012 </ref>
