The Hill 2020s: on Education


Doug Ose: COVID: Newsom sided with unions to close public schools

[On coronavirus]: "Do as I say, not as I do. That's how Gavin Newsom operates. Newsom sided with the unions to close your kids' public schools while his children were in their classrooms. Newsom dined in California's fanciest restaurant while telling you and me to stay sheltered at home and supported lockdowns that destroyed mom and pop businesses," Ose said in a campaign ad.

Ron DeSantis: Don't sow doubts among children about gender identity

DeSantis several times called instruction around gender identity and sexual orientation the "gender bread man," a reference to an educational tool.

"This is trying to sow doubt about kids about their gender identity. It's trying to say that you know, they can be whatever they want to be. This is inappropriate for kindergarteners and first graders and second graders. Parents do not want this going on in their schools," he added.

The former governor said he plans to roll out a list of policies starting off with an education platform that would invest $2 billion a year to boost teacher pay and ensure every public school student has internet access.
