- 🚨This is why school choice matters🚨 I love sharing my story but I often wonder how many more “Walters” are out there desperate for change. There’s a lot of noise in this space but I am honored to fight for students across the entire country✊🏾 #schoolchoiceNOW
00:00 - 1.0 GPA but we want them to teach kids about race?🤔 Why in the world would you trust the teachers' union to teach anything well? Hard to find a more racist institution than the unions that protect a system where 41% of high school students have a 1.0 GPA or less.
- A white, teachers-union backed politician says “Black Lives Matter.” Yet when Black students like me testified about wanting #SchoolChoice instead of failing schools, he couldn’t care less. CC: @SenMcCollister washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/suppor…
- How can you say “Black lives matter” and then turn around and deny those same lives access to a high quality education?! #schoolchoicenow #BlackMindsMatter #fundstudentsnotsystems
- Oh no! Parents are choosing what's best for their children... the horror😱This isn’t just about masks or about Governor DeSantis’ political aspirations. It’s about the complete destabilization of public education so that parents will choose private schools. newrepublic.com/article/163817…
- The public school I left almost 13 years ago is still performing poorly... They told my mom they had a 5-year plan that would turn the school around🙄 This is absolutely unacceptable!!!! Parents and students need options NOW!!! #Schoolchoicenow #SchoolchoiceWAVE #Kidscantwait

- BOOM… Married!!! “Therefore what God has joined together , let man not separate” Here’s to forever!!!
- Replying to @WaltBlanksJrIf you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading! I left out a lot, but this gets to the core of who I am and why I believe what I believe. Now, time to get back to work 🫡
- Senator Wayne: “Did you say it would take about 50 years to fix Omaha?” Senator Hansen: “Yes.” Senator Wayne: “So Omaha won’t be fixed for 50 years. So what are we going to tell parents in the meantime when they are looking for choice?” Senator Hansen: *silence “I mean.. idk”
00:00 - Steve Jobs busting school choice myths in 1995!!! It’s a shame some people still haven’t figured this out 27 years later. #HostagesNoMore
00:00 - We are witnessing a national reckoning. Lawmakers are finally listening to the millions of parents who want choices for their children. We won’t stop fighting for kids until every child has great options. #SchoolChoiceWave
