ABC This Week interviews during 2019: on Education


Bernie Sanders: Busing an option, but integrated community schools are best

We need to make sure that kids go to community schools, which are integrated and that means we have to focus on fair housing legislation and enforcement. Busing is certainly an option that is necessary in certain cases, but it is not the optimal. Does anybody think it's a good idea to put a kid on a bus, travel an hour to another neighborhood that he or she doesn't know? That's not the optimal. What is the optimal is to have great community schools which are integrated.

Seth Moulton: Voluntary public service rewarded with education guarantee

I'm calling today for the biggest call to national service since World War II. I'm asking all 33 million young Americans to consider serving their country as well, not to make it a requirement but an expectation that Americans will take a part in our future, take a part in serving our country. And if you invest in America then America will invest in you. Coupled with this call to service is a new national education guarantee modeled on the G.I. Bill.
