Too many children being indoctrinated to hate America
Too many of our children are trapped in failing schools. Too many of our children are being indoctrinated to hate America, hate our history and hate our culture. We need to give them a choice:
vouchers to attend a charter school, a private school, or a public school with higher standards--schools that teach the truth of our history and graduate kids properly schooled in math, science and English.

$40M more for schools; $150M more for teachers
Senate File 166 would modify requirements for the state school foundation program. Said Gov. Branstad, "With $40 million additional dollars, the total state commitment to schools next year will be $3.184 billion dollars."Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds
added, "By setting funding levels early in the session, we are able to provide predictability and stability that administrators, school boards and teachers need. I want to thank the legislature for moving quickly on this important issue. This is a
difficult budget, but this $40 million increase for K-12 education is on top of the $150 million provided through the Teacher Leadership System that rewards our great teachers. Teachers are the key to giving students a globally competitive education and
helping us close the skills gap in Iowa."
Bill passed the Iowa House 55-40-5 on Feb. 6, 2017; State Rep. Carlin voted YES; passed the Iowa Senate on Feb. 2, 2017, 28-21.
