Education is the foundation of a just and innovative society. This pillar focuses on providing equitable, high-quality education for all, investing in scientific research and innovation, and promoting inclusive curricula that reflect diverse histories and experiences.
Key Principles
Equitable, High-Quality Education
Fully fund K-12 public schools to eliminate resource gaps. Offer tuition-free community college and associate degrees. Reduce reliance on high-stakes testing and shift to competency-based assessments. Empower teachers with professional freedom over curriculum and classroom management.
Invest in Science, Research & Innovation
Restore and increase federal funding for basic scientific research through institutions like NIH and NSF. Prioritize climate science, clean energy, public health research, and ethical AI research and development. Protect academic freedom and ensure open access to publicly funded research and AI technologies.
Inclusive Curricula
Incorporate diverse histories (LGBTQ+, racial, disability, immigrant) into curricula. Implement robust anti-bullying policies protecting all students.
