US Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina recently criticized President Biden's education policy, accusing it of resegregating schools and lacking support for charter schools. Scott argued that Black Americans were better off under the Trump administration and claimed that Biden's elimination of charter schools supports segregation [aa11d73d].
Scott brought up comments made by Vice President Kamala Harris in 2019 to support his claims of Biden's support for segregation. He argued that the elimination of charter schools under Biden's administration would lead to the resegregation of schools in America. The relationship between charter schools and segregation is a matter of debate. The Biden administration has implemented stricter rules for charter schools applying for federal grants and has proposed decreasing funding for charter schools while increasing funding for the Education Department overall.
Scott's criticism of Biden's education policy adds to his previous concerns about national security, inflation, the economy, and the administration's policies on Iran, China, and spending bills.
