Chronic absenteeism in school has become a major problem in our public schools since they were shuttered for Covid, while our private schools remained open just fine. Those public school students will never get those 2 years back, and my opponent Dr. Amy Acton owes them an apology.

Chronic absenteeism spiked from 15% pre-pandemic to 28% in 2022, with high-poverty districts hitting 36%—numbers that scream systemic failure. Public schools locked kids out for years while private schools stayed open, proving bureaucracy prioritizes union demands over student needs. The real issue? Bloated admin, not funding. Taxpayers pour billions into a system that can’t even get kids to show up. Apologies don’t fix this. We need accountability: slash red tape, empower parents, and redirect funds to solutions that work.

Meet Liam. School officials punished Liam for wearing a shirt that challenged the government’s narrative—a troubling example of free speech being censored. Don’t let your rights slip away. Get our FREE “Know Your Rights” guide and stand firm in your convictions.

@amyactonoh Those kids deserve more than just apologies they need action.

@amyactonoh We basically crippled an entire generation of kids with the lockdowns - not just in terms of academic achievement, but social development, as well.

@amyactonoh No wonder Gen Z is lurching to the right. Those two years opened their eyes.

@amyactonoh Amy Acton’s silence is deafening.

@amyactonoh So horrible

@amyactonoh That's a significant issue. It's crucial to address the impact on public school students and work towards solutions that prioritize their education and well-being. Hope for positive changes ahead.

@amyactonoh Easy. Don't graduate high school, you're ineligible for ANY public assistance. Why should we be paying school dropouts to sit home, smoke weed, and have 6 kids they can't afford?

@amyactonoh Yes, She does. A childs Brain needs constant development. What a waste.

@amyactonoh Because school is a scam. They only care about protecting their jobs.
