Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, every student deserves to have their hard work recognized. Unfortunately, many homeschooled students face unjust barriers when applying to college simply because they didn't attend a traditional school. On average, homeschoolers do remarkably well, better than their public school peers, on tests. Yet for some reason, colleges arbitrarily and unfairly subject homeschooled students to additional hoops, like taking a GED exam, to prove they are fit for admission. The Home School Graduation Recognition Act sends a clear and simple message to colleges and universities: Homeschooled students are just as qualified to attend college as any other high school graduate. The Home School Graduation Recognition Act also reaffirms House Republicans' commitment to expand educational opportunity and school choice for American families. I am glad to have the opportunity today to stand up for homeschoolers and against the needless discrimination they face in the college application process.”
