Quality public education has always been a great equalizer in American society. I am a proud graduate of the University of Florida who was fortunate enough to attend school with my tuition paid for by a Bright Futures Scholarship.
Regardless of where you come from, access to good education facilitates social mobility. In order to attract the best and brightest to educate our future generations, we need to raise salaries for teachers and support staff. We need to expand early childhood education so every child starts off on the right foot, we need to cancel student debt to ensure our children do not graduate college with enormous debts to pay off, and move towards a system of debt-free public education. Investing in education is investing in our children, which will pay off huge dividends for generations to come.
