On the recordJanuary 27, 2020
Madam Speaker, since 2011, National School Choice Week has been recognized as the largest annual celebration of opportunity and education in the world. In North Carolina, over 2,313 school choice events are scheduled for this week, including events in my district at the Quality Education Academy High School in Winston-Salem and at the DT Early Learning Center in Wilkesboro. Unfortunately, the media continues to conjure up misleading claims about school choice, and it is time we corrected the record. School choice is not about picking winners and losers; it is about letting families choose the educational options that meet the unique needs of their children. A high-quality education is an indispensable tool, and America's children deserve nothing less than an education that empowers them to reach their greatest potential. ____________________
