Thank you for having me. Arizona is going to file a lawsuit against the Biden administration, against this federal overreach and continued bullying and attacks on our state,\u201d Ducey replied. \u201cWe are going to use the dollars that Congress has appropriated to catch our kids up in school. We want the dollars to go to the families that need to get their child inside a classroom, that is functioning, with the teacher in front. Joe Biden needs to focus on the border or helping Ukraine or fixing Afghanistan. Why doesn\u2019t he stay in his federal lane and let us educate the children in the state of Arizona?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MacCallum noted that Biden only seemed interested in how the federal money was being spent in states like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/politics\/articles\/2022-01-21\/arizona-sues-biden-to-keep-school-anti-mask-rules\">Arizona<\/a>, where leadership had opted not to implement mask mandates in schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I find fascinating about this is the $182 billion that went to school systems across the country and supposed to use it for testing and mitigation,\u201d MacCallum continued. \u201cPresident Biden said, \u2018We weren\u2019t too happy with what happened to some of the money. Once we give it to them, it\u2019s their money to spend the way they want.\u2019 Why is it the only place that they\u2019re watching where the money goes is Arizona?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s been no accountability to the unions for the amount of money that they\u2019ve been given. They continue to focus on Arizona,\u201d Ducey agreed. \u201cFor some reason, this president is obsessed with masks and with mandates. He has a very little focus on math or reading or writing. That\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to get our kids caught up along with American civics so they can understand federalism. This president needs a lesson in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ducey said that Arizona planned to offer summer programs to help students make up some of the learning deficits resulting from school closures and extended remote learning, saying that his goal was to make the funding portable so that parents could choose the school situation that best fit their children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Arizona, we\u2019re getting them back in the classroom with a teacher at the head of the classroom. If a school system will not work with us, we\u2019re giving family flexible \u2013 families flexible dollars to go anywhere in the state to serve their child well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
