2020 DE Senatorial race: on Education


James DeMartino: A proponent of home schooling, private and charter schools

Our children require care, guidance and direction from parents not from government agencies. I am a proponent of home schooling, private and charter schools. Education, whether private or public must prepare our children for a rewarding and prosperous independent future. The best education is determined and implemented at the local level. We must reduce bureaucracy, improve educational requirements and support of our teachers.

    Lauren Witzke: Help pay off college loans so grads can have children

    Q: Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

    A: I support anything that makes it easier for young Americans to get married and have children. The student loan debt crisis is a reality--our current establishment is importing cheap foreign labor, and young college graduates are being forced to compete with foreigners (who will work way longer for way less) for jobs. As a result, young Americans are not getting married, not having children, & falling into addiction.
