Issue Position

I support America's public schools and will do everything I can to strengthen and invigorate them. This means paying teachers like the professionals that they are, no longer diverting public funds to support voucher programs for private schools, and making sure poor and rural schools have high speed internet and other education infrastructure necessary for those children to compete with their peers from more affluent communities. We must prohibit federal funding of any private schools that do not provide special education services or otherwise discriminate against peoples' civil rights. The vast majority of Americans have attended public schools and so do most of their children. Cutting federal funds from public education to support the private education of a tiny fraction of students is unconscionable and must be stopped.
