@charliekirk11 Considering she won as a democrat over a Republican challenger means the people that voted for her voted for the thoughts and ideas she would represent for them. To do this is a slap in the face of those voters that voted for her.

One of the issues affecting my alma mater @savannahstate is the state's refusal to fund need-based aid! So many students have to leave college because they can’t make the payment by the deadline and are therefore dropped from classes!

Lastly, on #SB233 there is no change in the bill that requires private schools not to discriminate based on wealth. If the school doesn’t want to admit you they won’t have to take you. Let’s be clear this bill subverts the state constitution on free and public education.
