Tom Sullivan on Education

Smaller classrooms and increased funding

My daughter is part of the public education system in Idaho and I have had an opportunity to learn from her experience as well as talk to teachers about the issues that affect our education system. No child left behind is a race to the bottom. Federal education funding should be focused on performance as a whole rather than performance of the lowest common denominator. Smaller classrooms and increased funding are the two most important issues that face our education system today. Source: Campaign website, www.tomsullivanforsenate.com, "Issues" Jul 21, 2010

I firmly believe in a separation between church and state

I was raised a Catholic and was an altar boy as a child. I know that religion plays an invaluable role, an irreplaceable role in American life. And while my spiritual life is a source of great comfort and constant wonder personally, I firmly believe in a separation between church and state.
