Donald Trump is making an overt attempt to abolish the Department of Education. Not on Harry’s watch. Our children are our future and education is the bedrock of our society. Harry is a proud product of Maryland public schools, where he learned the values of diversity, service, empathy, and hard work from his peers and teachers. Harry’s sister teaches in the public school system and his daughter also attends public school, so this is personal to him. From personal experience, Harry is committed to strengthening public education for everyone. Harry will work to:
- Fully fund public schools so that everyone can have access to a quality education.
- Reverse President Trump’s attacks on students and colleges, and restore financial assistance and forgiveness to the most needy among us.
- Support teachers by increasing their wages and paying them what they deserve.
- Make higher education more affordable and invest in alternatives to universities for students like community college, trade schools, and more. Harry supports the College for All Act which would eliminate tuition and fees at public universities, colleges, and community colleges and double the maximum Pell Grant over 5 years.
- Provide federal funding to expand public Pre-K and Kindergarten access, particularly for low-income communities.
- Stand for teachers so that politicians like Ron Desantis aren’t putting their far-right ideology over educating our youth.
- Support the Fight Book Bans Act, to protect our education system from Republican attacks and ensure our kids are getting the education they deserve.
- Protect black history from attempts at whitewashing by supporting the Black History is American History Act.
