As the father of three children and the husband of a public-school teacher, Congressman Cloud understands our urgent need to provide a quality education for all our nation’s students. Washington bureaucrats should not be involved in teaching students and we, as a community, should be diligent in pushing back against divisive progressive ideologies that have no place in our classrooms.
Local parents, educators and school boards are best suited to know and respond to the needs of each student. We need to free teachers to teach instead of just teaching toward a standardized test and provide parents educational choices for their children where every child regardless of where they live, or their economic status can get a great education.
