Jim Bender on Education

Increase school choice through vouchers and home-schooling

Parents have the right to school their children at home, and they should have access to increased school choice through vouchers as well. Education is the foundation of American's sustained economic growth. We must ensure that all children, born with unlimited potential are given the knowledge they need to grow up and to create a better society full of entrepreneurs, artists, laborers and tradesmen.

A failing school cannot be allowed to continue doing so. The consequences are too grave.
