Defense Of Democracy Pledge to Protect Public Education
✅ I promise to defend the right of all students to read, think, speak, and write freely, rejecting attempts to censor curricula and/or restrict access to age-appropriate books.
✅ I promise to support robust, equitable funding for local public schools and libraries so that every child—regardless of background, identity, or zip code—receives a high-quality education.
✅ I promise to stand against efforts to divert taxpayer dollars to un-vetted private interests, allowing public education to be fully accountable to the communities it serves.
