Opposes Biden's student loan forgiveness

Student Financial Aid

Ruben Gallego (D): Yes. Supports Biden student debt relief package. Would work to reduce the "soaring costs of higher education."

Kari Lake (R): No. Regarding Biden's student loan forgiveness, said "Democrats...will rob you blind and expect you to thank them for it." Source: Guides.vote candidate survey on 2024 Arizona Senate race , Aug 8, 2024

Cut back federal interference in our local schools

For decades, American education was the envy of the world. We had the best schools at every level. It's time to return to that standard. Kari Lake is committed to ensuring our schools deliver a truly world-class education with a strong fundamental basis in mathematics, science, and language. One way we can do that is by cutting back the bureaucratic interference by federal officials in our local schools. Source: 2024 Arizona Senate campaign website KariLake.com , Oct 11, 2023

The "woke" curriculum is racism; keep it out of our schools

Arizona students need a great education, they deserve a great education. I will stop the "woke" curriculum overtaking our schools, and ensure our kids are given the tools they need to grow and be successful in every phase of life. No child should ever be taught that their skin color or where they come from is what defines them. That is racism, pure and simple, no matter what anyone wants to call it. This craziness is teaching kids to be suspicious of, even fear, their classmates. It must stop. Source: 2021 AZ Gubernatorial campaign website KariLake.com , Sep 3, 2021

We're going to fund students not systems

I will ensure that our schools have the resources and support they need to give our kids their very best chance at a lifetime of success. I will ensure that parents have every available option to give their kids the best education possible-- great public schools, great charter schools, great technical schools, and real support for homeschool parents. We're going to fund students not systems. Source: 2021 AZ Gubernatorial campaign website KariLake.com , Sep 3, 2021
