Sen. Marsha Blackburn Rep. John Rose

Sen. Marsha Blackburn

“Whether it’s public school, private school, homeschool, we want parents to have more, not fewer choices. And I don’t think any parent should have to win the lottery in order to have a say in their child’s education."

"Parents must have a seat at the table. Parents know what is best for their children and their families. Let’s give parents freedom to choose what works best for their family, whether that be in a public school, homeschool, public charter school, or private school."
