Kevin Stitt actually said...

"I will not approve a proposed plan to collect kids’ immigration status when they register for school."

"When I see our NAEP scores not improving, when I see things that are messed up or wrong, or kids being used as political pawns for some political stunt, it’s just frustrating."

"The goal, Stitt said, is to focus on eliminating wasteful government spending, improving efficiency, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are being used effectively across state governments."

"I am appalled and disheartened by the comments in the released audio."
