That\u2019s why I joined a resolution challenging the Biden administration\u2019s burdensome new restrictions on charter schools seeking federal funding,\u201d said Senator Young.\n\n\u201cTime and time again, this administration has bowed to big-labor unions and liberal extremists at the expense of children\u2019s futures. Now they are outdoing themselves with rules that will undermine charter schools \u2014 tuition-free, top-notch public education options that serve primarily disadvantaged students,\u201d said Senator Scott. \u201cSupport for these schools has never been a partisan issue. It\u2019s time the administration put politics aside and joined parents in the fight for quality education.\u201d\n\nCosponsors of the resolution include Senators Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), James Risch (R-Idaho), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.).\n\nBackground:\n\nEarlier this year, the Department of Education announced new rules overhauling the 28-year-old, bipartisan Charter School Program (CSP). The changes would place federal, one-size-fits-all requirements on charter schools, making it difficult \u2014 if not impossible \u2014 for many of these high-quality public schools to receive funding.\n\nDespite substantial bipartisan backlash, the administration is moving ahead with its plans, which will strip families of education choice and give more power to big labor unions and bureaucrats in D.C.\n\nClick here to read about the CRA in Fox News.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:29:59Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/young-joins-scott-colleagues-in-effort-to-protect-charter-schools/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6592610627412796, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
