CBS "Face the Nation" interviews for 2023 races: on Education


Mike Pence: There was racial inequity in education system; no longer

Q: You do not believe there is racial inequity in the education system in America?

PENCE: I really don't believe there is. I believe there was. There may have been a time when affirmative action was necessary simply to open the doors of all of our schools and universities, but I think that time has passed. I really believe that the accomplishments of America's students, particularly our minority students, tells us that we've opened those doors and I'm confident those doors will remain open.

Mike Pence: Student loan forgiveness not about helping the middle class

The majority of people that would have benefited from this student loan forgiveness are people with multiple graduate degrees. So you're going to say to working Americans, to truck drivers, to people working in the trades, 'we're going to take your taxes and pay down a part of the student debt of doctors and lawyers and Ph.D.s.' It's just- it, nothing could be further than the truth. This was not about the middle class.
