Above all, I believe every child, no matter their ZIP code or their parents' jobs, deserves access to a quality education.

No child's dream should be limited by the quality, or lack thereof, of the education they receive.

Our nation's commitment is to provide a quality education to every child to serve the public common good. Accordingly, we must shift the paradigm to think of education funding as investments made in individual children, not in institutions or buildings.

Every child should have the opportunity to receive a quality education.

The bottom line is we believe that parents are the best equipped to make choices for their children's schooling and education decisions.

Let me say, I fully embrace equality, and I believe in the innate value of every single human being and that all students, no matter their age, should be able to attend a school and feel safe and be free of discrimination.
