“We all want to create the maximum amount of opportunity for our children, regardless of their background. That is why it is unfortunate that this legislation fails to fix the most tragic inequity in our education system: the absence of choice. The right to a high-quality education is fundamental to the promise of America, and no child should be denied that right because of income or background. Thankfully, President Trump and Republicans in Congress are working to provide that opportunity to all families. I am proud to have introduced the CHOICE Act, which creates opportunity grants that families can use for private school tuition, microschools, learning pods, and homeschooling costs. My bill ensures that all families--not just those with the means or those lucky enough to live in a wealthy school district--have access to the best possible education for their child. Giving families this choice is the only way to furnish equal access to the American Dream. Republicans are ready to take this step. If Democrats join us, we can make it a reality. {time} 1400”
