Missouri's public education system under Republican rule has consistently left students, educators, and families behind. Our state ranks in the bottom five for state funding per student in the country, so Missouri students are forced to do more with less, all while Republicans try to use their poor management to justify corporate privatization efforts. And their recent efforts to ban books and censor teachers will scare away qualified educators from preparing Missouri's next generation for the real world.

Missouri Democrats have filed legislation that protects a students' right to learn, give our underpaid educators much needed tax relief, empower them to achieve their higher education goals, and so much more.
