It is disgusting and offensive to compare the actual voter suppression and violence of the era that we grew up in with a State law that only asks people to show their ID.

Will you commit your office to aggressively investigate all forms of racial discrimination instructional practices under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act?

2 + 2 = 4 by the way is racist. Asking for homework is racist.

Today in California, we saw a creation of a pathway to equitable math instruction. it's a CRT tool kit that promotes the concept of white supremacy.

This is the next civil rights. We need to make sure our kids are thinking, particularly black kids.

This has been going on too long, and the answers are not working.

The voucher system was working in D.C. years ago. 93 percent of the kids coming through those systems with vouchers were succeeding in going to college.

Don't just leave those kids there to languish because schools are not, are not succeeding.

I have a very passion for, because I've watched my community that was really into education lose it the last 6 years because poor children do not have a choice like many other children to leave failing schools.

I think you would agree and I'm hoping you agree that it is about the child, not about the school.

Girl athletes cannot compete against boy athletes.

But the Congressional Budget Office said almost none of this money will play any role in reopening schools.

Mr. Chairman it's our job to point out when the education is failing our children, especially our most vulnerable children.

It baffles me that the response from our friends on the other side of the aisle seem to be that we're being too mean or unfair to teachers unions.

Many people in the blue states are leaving because they want their kids to go to school and have a normal life.

There's a difference in the teachers that love their profession... and those that are leading these unions that obviously have a different agenda.

The Biden administration has relied too much on the desire of the teachers unions, causing unnecessary, prolonged closures that continue to inflict real harm on children lacking a home or stable family life.

House Republicans will not stop fighting to reopen schools across this country until every one of them has unlocked their doors.

This wasted time is causing irreparable damage to millions of students nationwide.

This is a travesty my friends, and there's a difference.

The most frustrating part of this situation is that the research demonstrates, and has demonstrated for months, that school age children are less likely to transmit the virus to others, including adults.

For these children school is so much more than a place to learn.

For over a year students across our country have been negatively impacted by school closures.

Being raised by teachers myself I understand that. And let me say this. Your concerns you have, what you're going through has absolutely nothing to do with Medicare for all, defunding the police, wealth, and meeting your tax, 500 billion…

The longer the schools stay closed, the further our children fall behind, particularly those in disadvantaged groups.
