RT @SCHouseDems: We filed over 1000 amendments to the Republican<U+2019>s radical abortion ban. If they want a debate, they<U+2019>ll get one. https://t.<U+2026>
I said that surpassing 10,000 COVID deaths was a “failure of leadership” and I was criticized for it. Let me be clear: if you consider 10,000 dead a success of your leadership, then do the people of South Carolina a favor and get a new job.
We elected a Superintendent of Education who isn’t unqualified for the job. Now we have Candace Owens teaching history class. https://t.co/o2c1UGJM3A
SC Public schools are not funded at an even adequate level & Gov McMaster allocated $32 million, 66% of the CARES Act education fund, to private schools. This, at a time where public schools are faced with unprecedented challenges. Today, and everyday, I stand with our teachers https://t.co/ZXRNDfF2xX
It is unacceptable that Republicans would rather focus on restricting women’s rights with an absurd abortion ban than address the COVID pandemic that has killed more than 8,000 people in our state.
