Eric Mehnert on Education

Democratic Senate Challenger


Decisions by educators, not Washington bureaucrats

Our children's education must be about learning to think critically & creatively, not whether they can meet rote milestones set by politicians. I will not stand by while this Administration turns our schools into places where success is measured by the score of a standardized test overseen by Washington Bureaucrats without knowledge or appreciation for the input of our own professional Educators who have devoted their lives to the care & development of our children as modern scholars and good citizens.
