Congressman Mark Alford
[January 28, 2025]
It’s National School Choice Week. Parents deserve to make choices that work best for their children’s education.
We will continue to support policy that keeps parents in the driver’s seat, so they can make the best decisions for their family!
[….]
Think about all those small rural school districts.
Some of the responses:
It’s national Defund Public Schools Week, bootlicker.
How’s it feel to be made totally irrelevant? And WE are still paying for your golf trips [….]
Parents are free to pay tuition and send their child to any private or religious school they want. Or to move to another public school district.
The US or Missouri spends one tax dollar on a religious or private school and I vote no on every bond issue from now on.
How about allowing choices of not having the 10 commandments or prayer crammed down our children’s throats in public schools Mark?
that’s not what he stands for. He thinks we should all be Christian nationalists.
You are Missourians biggest joke yet,trump patsy
TRUMP to put a 25% tariff on all semi conductors from Taiwan.
Doesn’t he realize it takes 3-5 years to ramp up production in the United States? (The TSMC lab in Arizona has been under construction for almost 10 years)
One of the many ironies of tariffs, especially “to protect domestic manufacturing”, is that they make lots of domestic manufacturers worse by raising input costs.
Get ready for increased prices, increased layoffs at factories.
Oh and get ready for another shortage of new cars, too.
Is this the Golden Age???
The Project 2025 plan is to destroy American education.
Why?
Isn’t that what Communist China did? Get rid of the educated people first?
By “school choice”, Mark means getting taxpayers to fund religious indoctrination centers….
ANother MAGA attack on Democracy.
“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.”
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
Stop taking money from public schools, and giving it to private, religious schools.
Otherwise known as “Defund Public Schools.” Let’s further underfund public education and put our rural schools districts, 2/3s are already in four day weeks due to poor funding, at further risk.
The rural areas continue to vote for politicians who gut our rural communities; politicians that cut funding for public education, make sure the child care deserts never get aid, and let rural hospitals close.
Make sure you thank the mango menace for cutting funding authorized by congress. I guess mark and crew are good with giving up their power and responsibilities and letting him overstep again. Ya’all should be happy.
There will be no choice for rural schoolchildren, they will just lose funding.
for a guy that campaigned so heavily in rural Missouri you would think Congressman Mark Alford would have heard that message loud and clear. Apparently those voices in DC just mean more to him. [….] rural schools be damned.
Make their own choice, but not with taxpayer money.
Just like the water ,in Henry county,you knew it was contaminated , talk about someone in the drivers seat , because it’s not you! What parent would want you to keep children safe , when you did nothing for their water systems!
called his Raymore office this morning and according to the lady who answered the phone. This isn’t Alfords problem. It’s a state and local issue not federal. So Henry County residents your Congressman doesn’t care unless there is a camera and microphone close.
FOR ANYONE WHO USES MEALS ON WHEELS.
Trump just cut their grants. Dont know when the money will be re-started.
Meal delivery can be impacted as soon as next Monday.
Call your members of Congress TODAY.
School choice means you’re paying for rich peoples private schools for their children while poor children get the shaft.
How were disabled kids treated in the “Golden Age” Mark?
sent to “workshops” instead of schools where they worked for pennies a day.
My uncle made Levelor blinds and made maybe $1 a day. For a multi billion dollar business.
And for folks in Missouri‘a rural areas, what choice do they have? This is a joke. You have no clue how to help education, but you’d rather not have an educated electorate, either. You want serfs, not citizens.
The people of Missouri deserve more than a yes man , do you have any original ideas?
School choice is only for those WITH a choice. Most don’t. How many choices in your district Mark?
How about school lunches? How about Head Start? What Mark nothing?
Pull your head up and quit licking Shittler!
Marky Mark, just STFU
Public education is the third rail of rural Missouri politics, Mark.
Dumbass.
