However, on this issue he was incorrect. On this issue dealing with school vouchers, the individuals that I represent in the Sixth Congressional District overwhelmingly believe in public education and are against school vouchers. Madam Speaker, I think the reason that that occurs is, I can testify to, because of the fact that I am a product of public education, I have two daughters who are now attending public schools, that, in fact, all children can learn.
