I am committed to strong public K-12 education - I created the Detroit College Promise scholarship program, now run by the DPS Foundation, https://dpsfdn.org/detroit-college-promise/, and the Pernick Prize merit awards for Math and Medicine, https://thejewishnews.com/2022/04/15/dr-nat-pernick-endows-award-for-detroit-students/.
We should support public education and public figures working hard to make it better. We also need to lessen the influence of those damaging public education by attacking minority or "nontraditional" children, proposing book bans and censorship and spreading medical misinformation.
