2019-20 GA special Senate race: on Education


Kelly Loeffler: Make sure that we protect school choice

Loeffler: We can make sure that we protect school choice. The Democrats would overturn school choice, trapping children, their destiny for education, within their ZIP Code. I'm fighting to make sure that we fund school choice and support kids to live their dream to have that education.

Derrick Grayson: Taking God out of schools eliminated moral compass for many

I expressed before that based on my studies, we are once again living in a time of GREAT moral depravity, IN THIS COUNTRY. It may as well be Ancient Rome...
  1. We legalized the killing of our babies.
  2. 2. We took God out of our schools, thus eliminating a moral compass for many.

Tom Price: Allow state agencies to control Head Start funding

In 2007, when Head Start was last up for reauthorization, Price authored an amendment which would have allowed up to eight states to create Head Start "demonstration programs." In those states, Head Start funds would flow to and through state agencies rather than directly to individual providers. By moving the program from federal to state control, Price argued that states would be able to coordinate Head Start with state-run early childhood programs.
