Alycia Barnard: Education

Florida

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

The public school system needs to be fixed. Our children are not being taught history, or economics, or even our process of government. We need to hold schoolteachers accountable to the Pledge of Allegiance being recited in their classrooms. We need citizens to become involved in their schools’ social studies programs with regard to political activism. We women need to get involved to ensure that girls restrooms and lockers are safe for our children.   Schools should be non-partisan. They should be balanced, historically accurate, safe, inclusive learning spaces.

Our higher education system is broken, and the government endorsed financial incentives that created the situation need to be analyzed and revised.

I strongly support the re-invigoration of our trade schools and we should give incentives to students that train to fulfill needed skills within our economy and community.  

The 9th Congressional District of Florida is a rich area for trade Schools, and I want to work with community leaders to better cultivate industries to build or expand in our district.

I believe that the opportunity for industrial and trade schools should be made available to all in the 9th Congressional District of Florida.  Giving industry a trained and educated work force will assist us in cultivating new businesses to look at our District to expand into.
