To the editor:

With all the talk this election cycle about cutting spending to lessen or nation’s debt, I feel compelled to speak out about one thing in particular that Republicans are chomping at the bit to cut: our education.

We don’t need a partisan battle to ensure that our kids are educated next year and into the next generation. We just need someone who will stand up to protect our Iowan values of world-class education so everyone has the opportunity to succeed in our great state.
