Issue Position: Educating The Next Generation

Issue Position

A father of four, Bill knows the best thing we can do for our children is give them a high quality education. Every student in Tennessee, regardless of their zip code, should be prepared with skills for whatever path they choose after graduation. He will work to increase funding for charter schools and protect religious and parochial schools from government inference.

Families should have the opportunity and freedom to pursue the education option that best suits their child's learning style, including a strong vocational education system. Bill's mom Ruth was a well-respected educator in Tennessee, and he knows how hard our teachers work, that's why he's committed to getting Washington bureaucrats out of the classroom, so our teachers can do what they do best: teach. He strongly opposes "Common Core" and "No Child Left Behind" and supports significantly decreasing funding for the Department Of Education and shifting that money to the states via block grants. He'll fight to empower parents, teachers, and local communities and make sure every child has the tools they need to be successful.
