EDUCATION

Equal and public education is a cornerstone of our society, essential for fostering a fair and prosperous future. However, it faces mounting challenges and threats. I stand firmly against the proliferation of school choice and voucher programs, which undermine the fundamental principles of equitable education.

Education should be a unifying force, accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status or background. It must be inclusive, equitable, and secular, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. As an advocate for public education, I am committed to strengthening our public schools, providing them with the necessary funding and resources to deliver a high-quality education to every student.

Diverting public funds to private, often religious, institutions only widens the gap in educational opportunities, leaving many students at a disadvantage. Instead, let's focus on investing in our public schools, empowering them to create an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and supported.

Together, we can build a brighter future by prioritizing public education and ensuring that all students are prepared to navigate a diverse and interconnected world.
