Mitt Romney on Education

Romeny supports standards testing, engaging parents and focusing on math and science. He blames unions and Democrats for the education gap between children of color and white children.

At some point, I think America -- and, importantly, the minority communities -- are going to say, 'it's time to split with our friends, the unions and the Democratic Party, and put our kids first here.' Unequal educational opportunity is the civil rights issue of our time.

Vouchers

In the past, Romney has pledged support for a means tested school voucher program.

Department of Education

Romney has supported terminating the U.S. Department of Education.
