2022 AZ Senate race: on Education

Blake Masters: Schools are indoctrinating students with anti-white racism

Masters complained about what he described as "anti-white racism" in U.S. schools, weeks before launching his campaign to run. "All it does is teach kids to identify in racial terms. Right? You are good or bad, depending on what you look like. At this point it is straight up anti-white racism. I don't think we're allowed to say that. But let's call it what it is. It is toxic, and it does not belong in our schools."

"We've got to take back the schools & stop the indoctrination," Masters said.

Justin Olson: Critical race theory is harmful divisive ideology

Mark Kelly voted to allow critical race theory to be taught in our schools. This is a divisive indoctrination that is offensive to Martin Luther King's dream. Instead of working to build bridges that heal the wounds of the past and unite all communities, this harmful ideology divides and destroys. It has no place in our schools.

Justin Olson: Support parents using tax dollars for private schools

Empowerment Scholarship Accounts allow parents to take tax money that would otherwise go directly to their local public schools and put it toward private-school tuition. Olson and Sen. Debbie Lesko say the successes of disabled students using ESAs are the motivation for expanding it to all public schoolchildren. All public-school parents should have the flexibility to choose schools, programs and tutors best tailored to their kids' needs, they said.

Mark Brnovich: Complaint filed by Board of Regents for conflict of interest

The Arizona Board of Regents is asking that Brnovich be investigated and disciplined by the agency that regulates lawyers. In a complaint obtained by Capitol Media Services, board Chairman Larry Penley accused Brnovich, who strictly speaking is the legal counsel for the board and the universities, of actively criticizing and actually filing lawsuits against them. All that, Penley is telling the State Bar of Arizona, violates a series of rules that govern the ethical conduct of attorneys. Source: Arizona Capital Timeson 2022 Arizona Senate race Dec 20, 2021
