Bill Cassidy on Education

 

 


I support school choice to give parents the power

Improving access to quality education is essential for the future of our children and country. I support school choice to give parents the power to secure the best educational opportunity for their child. Too many students are stuck in school systems that are failing them. A zip code or income level should not limit a child's future. All children should have access to the best tools and resources they need to succeed.

College Transparency Act will give families info they need

Students should know if they choose to go to a particular school, in a specific curriculum, what's the likelihood of graduating, getting a job and how much they will have to burrow [sic]. With student loan debt at an all-time high, I introduced the College Transparency Act to give families the information they need to choose the school that will ensure the best future for them. It's simply truth in advertising.

College Transparency Act: address why so much student debt

Q: Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

A: What needs to addressed is why there is so much student loan debt in the first place. That is why I introduced the College Transparency Act to ensure students and their families have a better understanding of the cost and quality of institutions when deciding where to go to college.

Anti-free college, according to AFA survey.

Cassidy opposes the AFA survey question on free college

The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college'? Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): `Grounded in God; rooted in research`; they `thoroughly investigate candidates`; when they cannot `evaluate with confidence, they receive an `Insufficient` rating` (& we exclude)

Anti-transgender bathrooms, according to CC survey.

Cassidy supports the Christian Coalition survey question on transgender bathrooms

The Christian Coalition inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Prohibiting Public Schools from Allowing Boys to Use Girls' Bathrooms; and Vice Versa?' Self-description by Christian Coalition of America: "These guides help give voters a clear understanding of where candidates stand on important pro-family issues" for all Senate and Presidential candidates.
