Enough is enough.
For too long, we have stood by while out of state extremists have steered the debate about our public schools by funneling huge campaign contributions to politicians who will support vouchers.
For too long, potential economic prospects have watched this strange anti-public school ideology take a stranglehold on our state leaders, deflecting needed improvements in our public schools.
For too long, politicians have caved to this effort to siphon funding and support from our schools, so that they can receive massive out of state campaign contributions.
Now, we learn what the other candidates for governor are promising … more of the same.
Through proven reforms such as smaller class sizes, better teacher pay, and removing the yoke of “teaching to the test,” I know we can improve South Carolina’s schools and help ensure prosperity and opportunity for the next generation of South Carolinians.
As the son of a schoolteacher and the parent of three children in our schools, I am passionate about these reforms.
In the upcoming election, we have a clear choice. Our state can continue flirting with unaccountable private school voucher schemes aimed at draining resources from our schools, or we can restore our shared value of strong public education to the governor’s office.
I know where I stand. Will you stand with me?
Thank you,
