HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice. They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality.

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.

It shouldn't matter what type of school a student attends, so long as the school is the right fit for that student.

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.

I expect there will be more private schools.
