    . @DonaldJTrumpJr is spot on. TRUST PARENTS! "In Florida, the state Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran signed an emergency order insisting that “school districts and charter school governing boards must provide the full array of services that are required by law..."

    Well said @realDonaldTrump. It’s wrong. It’s unjust. It’s mean.

    Why are Democrats and unions working against life-changing school choice for underserved children? President Trump supports SCHOOL CHOICE! #SchoolChoiceNow wsj.com/articles/chart…

    Yes! Which is why @realDonaldTrump must be re-elected. Education is everything. It goes to who we are as humans. It’s about dignity. It’s about raising great citizens so we can keep our beautiful country for another 200+ years.

    While thousands of children across the nation remain trapped in failure factories - chronically failing schools - Union-controlled Dems continue to stand between students and school choice. The President supports choice, competition, and a world class education for every student!

    President @realDonaldTrump is right. Parents deserve the option for their child to attend school. Parents care more about their children than any bureaucrat ever could...I trust them to choose. @GovRonDeSantis & I will provide options in Florida #TrustParents @BetsyDeVosED

    Florida’s schoolchildren and parents are blessed by having a governor, Ron DeSantis, who had the intelligence, character and guts to stand up to the special interests, follow the science and reopen Florida’s schools for in-person learning last fall.

    I was shocked and angry to read the appalling email about the brave students who traveled to Tallahassee today. Representative @Shawnfor63 immediately contacted me and with his full support, I terminated the employment of the individual responsible. 1/2

    If our troops and first responders aren't getting paid during the #GovernmentShutdown, then Members of Congress should not be getting paid. I've sent a letter to the House Chief Administrative Office asking that my pay be withheld during the shutdown. #AmericaFirst
