Republican ideology has also stood for private school. Our senator wants to emphasize on private school and slowly want to replace public schools with private ones. According to District profile of District 16, 19.4% of our district’s population is school kids. Everyone is not privileged and financially able to attend a private school. Pushing people to educate their children in private school is not freedom of choice of education. Even if private education is being made free, we also need to consider if it is feasible and easily accessible to children or not. We need to consider situations where we don’t have one private school for a large area, so that students do not have to worry about time and distance to reach school. If I get elected as senator, I would give more priority to public schools as they have been serving our children with easy and quality education. I was educated from a public school, and I feel the education there is just as good as any private school. I would emphasize on how our children can easily reach schools, and economic condition should not be a barrier for children to learn. Every economic and ethnic group should be able to educate their children.

There is already a tense rivalry between the two parties. Each party stands for and represents different things.

The way that I grew up was out in rural Memphis, Tennessee. Therefore, I was raised to be a Christian and a republican. But my family was slightly different than the rest of the people I lived around. They did not raise me to be a right winged republican. Instead, they took to heart what both democrats and republicans had to say and they agree a little with both.
