Bill Eigel: Ban "hate-based ideology," other "woke" programs in schools

Eliminate Hate-Based Ideologies such as Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, and other "woke" programs in public schools: When children are taught to hate their country and each other, the foundation of Missouri and America is at risk. Eigel supports penalties for any school that teaches these damaging ideologies and supports parents' rights to choose different educational paths for their children and their tax dollars where public schools persist in spreading these damaging policies.

Guarantee Parents Transparent Access to Public School Curriculum and Lesson Plans: Parents have a right to know what's being taught in their children's classrooms.

Jay Ashcroft: School choice would be a priority of his administration

Ashcroft said school choice would be a priority of his administration. While Parson signed into law the state's limited tax credit education voucher program, school choice advocates want to go further with proposals for open enrollment and expansion of vouchers. "Using that bully pulpit, I can affect the education issue," Ashcroft said. "Maybe for the first time in my lifetime, we'll be able to say that every child in this state actually does have an opportunity to get a challenging education."

Mike Kehoe: Expanding school choice is an early priority

Kehoe said his other early priorities are expanding school choice, growing the agriculture industry, and creating a job-friendly environment. "Education is a huge issue, giving parents and children the choice to make sure they're getting the right educational opportunities," he said. "Growing our state's agriculture industry--I'm a first-generation farmer (so) I have a unique look at what it takes to work with Missouri's 95,000 family farmers."

Crystal Quade: Continues the fight to fund public schools, higher education

In Jefferson City, she fights to provide educators with the tools and support that they need to ensure that students have access to a quality education, regardless of class, race, religion, gender, or location. As the first in her family to graduate high school and then the first to graduate college, Crystal knows the importance of affordable and accessible education. That's why Crystal continues the fight to fund public schools and higher education in the Missouri budget.
