Fox News host Trey Gowdy spoke about the importance of education in the upcoming midterm elections in a monologue on “Sunday Night in America.”

Trey Gowdy: We have chosen education as an area of ​​focus for several reasons. It’s important. It’s been a tough few years for students, parents and teachers. Education also typically ranks among voters’ top concerns heading into the next election cycle. Education, formal or not, is necessary to thrive. The ability to read, write, do mathematics, and understand history and society. It is important not only for the individuals who make up this country, but also for the country itself.
