Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

When I was a young boy, I remember reading campaign literature that claimed we needed to increase education funding to fix our school system. Several decades later, with constant growth in school funding, and the DFL still uses the same mantra. Simply throwing more money at our schools doesn't fix the problem. Our education priorities must empower parents, since parents are the most important factor in every child's education. I am staunchly opposed to Common Core, and to the DFL efforts to lower standards for both students and teachers.
