Ted Kennedy on Education

Published by jweissman at 2:32 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

In light of the grim news that Senator Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with brain cancer, I thought it time to start to start a new tradition on this blog. 

From now on Wednesdays will be politician day.  Every Wednesday I will pick a different lawmaker, or political candidate, and focus on his or her views on education.

The honor of being first in this series will go to Ted Kennedy.

Throughout his tenure in the Senate, Mr. Kennedy has been a strong advocate for public schools.  He firmly opposes school vouchers, reasoning that it takes money away from the very schools that need saving.  He supports after school programs and 21st technology programs in the classroom.  He is very much in favor of public education and making our public schools the best that they can be. He also believes in making college more accessible and more affordable for all who wish to attend.

Senator Kennedy should be commended for his commitment to public education and I hope that he will be a champion for education for many, many more years in the United States Senate.
