Brother Day issued the following statement supporting school choice on Facebook yesterday.
Mississippi has delivered unprecedented education results.
But it didn’t happen by accident. And it’s not a miracle.
It has happened because policy makers were willing to look the naysayers in the eye and say,
“Conservative policy works! Period!”
House Bill 2 is a well-thought out next step in giving Mississippi families more say in their kid’s education! Kudos to Jason White and his team on their incredible work!
The House should pass it!
The Senate should then pass it!
And I will gladly sign it to keep Mississippi’s momentum booming!!!

"Unprecedented results" But he didn't say positive results.
The 'Mississippi Miracle' happened because of Barksdale Foundation money. The legislature is mainly just good ol' boys who are popular in their communities and have to think about how to pour piss out of a boot.
Conservative policy works best when the policymakers get their palms greased on the backend. Period! Mississippi needs to be the test case for term limits.
Please God no. Please.
Silly me, I thought the improvements were due to the hard work of teachers, admins. and students. Silly, silly , me. And again, nine out of the top ten states who have implemented school choice have seen continuous academic regression over the last 10 years. This is solid date provided by the only National Standardized test [ NAEP ] given to public school students in which all students take the same test across states. Mississippi is one of the few states that has steadily improved. But hey, lets ignore solid data and implement this garbage which has been factually proven to correlate with a decline in academic progress. The agenda is not to help students folks............
NO!! I haven't spoken to one person that wants this. He doesn't really care about what Mississippians want. He is all about kissing Trumps A33.
I simply cannot believe that any conservative would be for school choice. Let’s take good schools and water them down with terrible students who have sorry parent(s) that never show up. So stupid.
@1:23 The Mississippi Miracle happened because of Carey Wright. The lady that Philistine wanted to get rid of. The Barksdale Foundation was a waste.
This could ruin private schools
The freaks are coming out on this one and Michael Watson is out there posting everywhere that sending text messages telling everyone to call your Legislator is illegal unless you are a registered lobbyist! My kids are out of school already and private school was expensive, but this is a bad idea!
The teachers are giving him hell on the socials for legislators taking credit for the success instead of the teachers, and rightfully so.
…the apartments behind Community Bank Waterpointe…
Sounds like a logistical nightmare and issues with schools shutting down while others are overcrowded
The senate has always said their version of the bill won't be as sweeping, but it'll be interesting to see how much Delbert moves in hopes of gubernatorial success - aka hoping Trump won't give him the RINO label in a social media rant
As hard as it is, get serious, for a change, Kingfish. Who the hell is Brother Day?
Donkeycrat Delbert Hosemann says the status quo is perfectly acceptable as long as the solution includes more of the same.
I’m for anything that takes money away from the idiots running the public school system.
This is going to be another hot mess like “No Child Left Behind”. I’m a republican, but both are/were horrible ideas. Looks like we are trying to destroy both public and private education.
The Senate bill gives the receiving district the right to refuse a student, so hopefully anyone outside their district will be refused, effectively neutralizing it. The family should be responsible for transportation to and from another district if accepted.
From what I have seen, hardly anyone outside of being in politics wants this, or is outspoken about it as much as the Republican leaders. I'm a Republican, my kid is in private school, and I am embarrassed by what they are trying to ram down our throats. Tate Reeves, Jason White, Mike Hurst, and all the legislators pushing for it. Mark my words, they will all pay for this at the ballot box. Not to mention the all the teachers they have pissed off. Taking credit for the success of the schools over the teachers is a bad look.
