Rick Santorum: “It is a very important amendment to proprietary schools, career schools, who are doing the real lion's share of the work…”

On the recordJuly 9, 1998
It is a very important amendment to proprietary schools, career schools, who are doing the real lion's share of the work in educating in the poor communities, with disadvantaged people in our society. They are doing a great job in some of the toughest settings to try to make up the skills deficit that we have heard so much talk about in this country for the working poor and for those, in many cases, coming off of welfare. We are moving from welfare to work, and we are going to have to have educational institutions in poor communities, in the cities, to be able to educate the poor.
