Alaska didn’t MANDATE it, it was made AVAILABLE.

No. Alaska didn’t have to mandate it. Alaska accepted federal funds and the feds mandated it. It wasn’t an Alaska law. The difference in Texas and Alaska on this thing is that Texas governor intervened and said, hey, wait a minute, parents need to be able to opt out for more than just religious convictions. So Perry didn’t take the federal funds, instead Texas had to fund it themselves, and in so doing he was able to make it available with an OPT OUT.
