all families should have the option of full-time in-person instruction
preventing families from having that choice is anti-student.
fighting against allowing families to take their children's education dollars to the education provider of their choosing - and against allowing families to access in-person learning - isn't "advocating for students"

"Here's my offer: I will vote to kill this bill if you send your kids to one of the schools in my district that we're waiting to turn around.
Don't make a choice that you won't allow anybody else to make just based off of income."
