Voters support increasing funding for most areas in Education - especially funding for creating a positive & welcoming environment for all students, K–12 public schools, career and college preparation, ECE, teacher salaries, & providing high-speed internet. #OpinionatED

Actually, Rep. Mackenzie @all4ed.bsky.social polling shows that parents want to invest in public education NOT in vouchers that allow private schools to exclude some students. all4ed.org/opinionated

Any teacher would welcome parents to engage!

“Children don’t learn when they are hungry or sick.” @repbonamici.bsky.social

The federal government does not dictate curricula! A great reminder from @repbonamici.bsky.social

Rep. Bonamici raises an incredible point. Voucher systems would not serve rural communities where private education options are unavailable

Another former teacher Rep. Mannion spent years in the classroom and is reminding us that education is the great equalizer and the great stabilizer.

The problem with these private schools being funded with public dollars is that they can reject students - students with disabilities, low income students, and others
