“I am very disappointed with my friends across the aisle. They support the status quo for our Nation's education. Why do they consistently oppose efforts to improve the lives and learning of our Nation's children? The Republican education agenda is simple: We want to give kids a chance. We want them to be able to leave inferior schools that cannot even teach them to read and write. We want parents involved in the children's education and to trust the schools they send their kids to every day. I do not care if these schools are charter schools, public schools, private schools, or a school on Mars, but it is not fair to force our kids to go to schools where they sit in constant fear for their lives, where the roofs leak and the heat does not work. Why force kids to go to schools that do not teach? Let them attend a school where they can have a real educational experience and a real long-term potential. It is simple: The Republicans offer the Nation's children hope and opportunity, while across the aisle all they can offer is status quo.”
