Dick and I became increasingly committed to helping other parents - parents from low-income families in particular.

I greatly appreciate being asked to be part of President-elect Trump's team and I will continue to enthusiastically support him and his agenda for American renewal.

Opening a complaint for investigation in no way implies that the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has made a determination about the merits of the complaint.

Every child deserves to attend school in a safe, supportive environment where they can learn, thrive, and grow.

It is not fair to think that when students transit through a K-12 system that is not preparing them for beyond, that somehow we are going to wave a magic wand and things are going to be perfect for them at the higher-ed level.

That's where my heart has been for three decades is to really empower and allow all families the same kind of opportunities I've had for my kids.

When we had segregated schools and when we had a time when, you know, girls weren't allowed to have the same kind of sports teams - I mean, there have been important inflection points for the federal government to get involved in some of the areas around protecting students and ensuring safe environments for them - there is a role to play.

Let me say, I fully embrace equality, and I believe in the innate value of every single human being and that all students, no matter their age, should be able to attend a school and feel safe and be free of discrimination.

Discrimination in any form is wrong. I don't support discrimination in any form.

There are not enough philanthropic dollars in America to fund what is currently the need in education.

We expect to foster a conservative governing philosophy consisting of limited government and respect for traditional American virtues.

We knew we had the resources to send our kids to whatever school was best for them.

Social justice and economics are both issues to me.

I expect there will be more schools of any kind that haven't even been invented yet.

I expect there will be more virtual schools.

I expect there will be more private schools.

I expect there will be more public charter schools.

It would be fine with me to have myself worked out of a job, but I'm not sure that - I'm not sure that there will be a champion movement in Congress to do that.

I can assure you I have never made decisions on my mother's behalf on her foundation's board.

Federal law must be followed where federal dollars are in play.

I support accountability.

All schools that receive public funding should be accountable, yes.

If politicians in a state block education choice, it means those politicians do not support equal opportunity for all kids.

HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice. They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality.
