Tim Scott in Fox News Sunday interviews for 2023 races

On Education: Started the School Choice Caucus & they work

Q: What is the argument for you policy-wise versus President Trump or anybody else who gets into this field?

SCOTT: I hope we have about 30 minutes left to have this conversation... I started the School Choice Caucus. We led to the highest level of funding for HBCUs In the history of the country and then we made it permanent. I led on the vast majority of those pieces of legislation, I've worked on police reform where we want to make sure that the best wore the badge, that the officers have the best resources, the best training, and we never questioned their qualified immunity.

Q: On School choice [some say] what you do is end up hurting public schools when you let parents take the money elsewhere. How can public schools improve if you take even more money from them?

SCOTT: Look at Success Academy in NYC where you see the populations are about 87% minority and yet their schools are the top in the state of New York. What we've seen very consistently.

On Principles & Values: Progressive left makes America into a grievance culture

I think it's really important for us to come forward and have an authentic and sincere conversation about the goodness of America. In today's society, the progressive left is trying to make America into grievance culture when in fact we've always stood on the foundation of greatness. I wish we'd spend more time talking about the goodness of this nation and stop the cancel culture. Source: Fox News Sunday on 2023 Presidential hopefuls Feb 26, 2023

On Principles & Values: A world without America is a very dark place

A world without America is a very dark place. America without faith is a nation without hope. So we definitely have to continue to work on the foundation that we have stood upon for the last 250-plus years. But in addition to that, we have to be able to contrast between why we are a great country and why the left wants us to talk about the grievance. The fact is that the left is trying to sell a drug of victimhood and a narcotic of despair. Source: Fox News Sunday on 2023 Presidential hopefuls Feb 26, 2023
