2022 SC Senate race: on Education


Krystle Matthews: Frustrated with SC's consistent inadequacy with education

I saw working families like (mine) who weren't benefiting from the economy, I saw women like me whose vaginas were being policed by those who don't have one, I saw parents like me who were frustrated with South Carolina's consistent inadequacy with education for our children--I also saw black mothers like me and so many other people of color who fear for our kids safety every day when they just walk out the door.

Tim Scott: COVID: direct some relief funding to school choice programs

Senators Tim Scott and Lamar Alexander offered a bill during congressional negotiating over COVID-19 relief funding that would redirect some of that funding to school-choice programs. Tying it to the economic harms and school shutdowns was wise, because it signaled to families who might not traditionally support conservative politicians that the GOP was taking seriously their concerns about being able to continue sending their children to the schools that are best for them.

Tim Scott: In America a good education is the closest thing to magic

I think we need to have hard conversations with the American voters about not red or blue solution, but about American solutions. Let's have hard conversations about the fact that in America, a good education is the closest thing to magic. And that's why 67 percent of Democrats, 68 percent of independents, 70 percent of Hispanics, 74 percent of African- Americans all agree that quality education is necessary for the furtherance of the American dream and the hardest hit communities.
