Discrimination in any form is wrong. I do not support discrimination in any form.

Some of the programs that have been recommended for scaling back or cutting are duplicative, some of them are ineffective, and some of them could better be supported by State, local, or philanthropic efforts.
We have not done a good job of helping students to know what their full menu of options are when pursuing higher education.
I totally agree with you that student debt and student loans are of grave concern.
By implementing year-round Pell, we do give non-traditional students... the flexibility to set their own pace for their education.
We should be shooting for excellence across the board, but in no way should it be a top-down, one size fits all solution from the Federal Government.
We believe that parents are the best equipped to make choices for their children's schooling and education decisions.
In part, my support for educational choice is based on my strong belief in the power of markets and competition as drivers of educational quality and accountability.
We are not proposing any shifting of funding from public schools to private schools.
The federal government has a moral obligation that no individual school district or state can advocate when it's regarding protecting children in school.
