Michael Lange on Education

Republican Senate challenger

Parents and local school boards should run schools

The current system needs major reforms. We can start with the question of "Who should be directing our children's education?" That answer is simple; "Parents have that right."

It is not the federal government's job to run the education system. It is not the federal government's job to shove mandates at us. It is not the federal governments job to interfere with the rights of parents or local school boards. We'll work hard to reform federal education policy & fully restore the rights of parents first
