I am a mother with kids in the public schools. People should know that. I'm not just some policy maker who's totally detached from the rest of the community.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a mom, and my view of public education begins and ends with the fundamental question: Is this good for children?
It comes down to what your priorities are, and if public education is about kids, then every decision we make should be focused on the question of 'Is this good for a child?' And that should be the driving focus and the priority when we decide what our policies should be and what our laws should be.
As the son of a union activist and a lifelong Democrat, I've always thought that privatizing our public schools is not the answer. We must strengthen public schools.
I have a job to do on policy. And I think that's what people want their governor to do. Not politics, policy.
I'm not a typical public school boy.
So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it's a better education overall.
It isn't often that the logic behind a policy is so clear. But when it comes to the value of educating girls, the evidence speaks for itself.
I don't write policy for my government.
Children have in the past and continue to influence policy makers.
If a person wants to be publicly gay, they should not be teaching in the public schools.
