As Governor, when I talked to businesses in the State of New
Hampshire, one of the things they told me that they needed in order for
their businesses to succeed was a skilled workforce, young people who
had a good education, who could learn advanced skills on the job. They
looked to locate in communities where there was a strong system of
public education. I value public schools as one of our Nation's bedrock civic and
democratic institutions because they provide the best opportunity for
kids from all walks of life to get a quality education. They pass on to
each new generation, including the children of immigrants, America's
shared ideals and values. Regrettably, after careful study of Mrs. DeVos's record as an
activist, I have concluded that she doesn't agree with this view of our
public schools.
