Fellow Conservative,

California public schools are BROKEN.

I recently
asked Californians to let me know how school closures in our state have
affected their families and especially their children.

The responses
submitted on fixcaschools.com were both overwhelming and tragic, and I
am more determined than ever to fix our broken system and get our
teachers and kids safely back into classrooms.

Here are some of the
words that California parents used to describe their children’s
experience with distance learning:

Inadequate.

Unacceptable.
Disaster.

Heartbreaking.

Here is just a small sample of the
submissions my team has received:
“I STRONGLY DISLIKE IT! IT HAS BEEN
A JOKE! It is REALLY hurting our kids. My straight A daughter is
failing her classes, and has developed depression, for which she is now
on medication."

"The mental toll this is taking on my daughter is
huge ... she has almost completely given up on her education and her
dreams."

"My youngest has gone from a well-rounded, well-adjusted,
social and happy child to an anxiety-ridden, child that cries every day
over online schooling and begins to panic at the thought of more
changes."

"My child is not thriving in distance learning and she
absolutely hates it. Some days are good and some days are
heartbreaking."

"As a mother that works hard to provide the very
best for my children, I have never felt so powerless in my children's
lives before the school made the ultimate choice to not reopen schools
with no intention of compromise. My children are suffering and I know I
am not the only one with this story. Someone has to do something … NOW.
Not in the fall. NOW."
Across the board, our kids are not thriving.
They are underperforming. They are depressed and unmotivated.

More
young people than ever are seeking mental health care — and those are
just the ones who are lucky enough to have parents at home willing to
care for them in this way! It’s impossible to know how many students
are silently suffering because they no longer have face-to-face time
with their teachers and friends.

Up and down the state, parents
agree that schools and teachers are essential, and that we need
face-to-face, in-person learning for our kids to thrive.

Many are
frustrated that other states have figured it out, but Governor Newsom
refuses to even lay out a plan to get California schools open. Yet he
allows private schools to remain open, where he sends his own four
young children.

Californians are sick of the hypocrisy, and they are
sick of being forced to sacrifice their kids. I’m right there with
them, which is why I am running for governor.

If your family has
been directly affected by the draconian school closures in California,

please submit your story on fixcaschools.com.

Please also forward
this email to anyone you know who is also struggling with distance
learning due to California school closures.

And please know this:
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You are not alone in this, and help is on the way.
We are going to take back our state, and make it a place where kids
and families thrive once more.

Thanks for sharing your stories,
Kevin Faulconer
