I struggle to understand public officials who proudly celebrate sending their children abroad while the schools they oversee are collapsing.
It's not about whether they can afford it. They have every right to spend their money however they choose.
It's about emotional intelligence and leadership.
Publicly celebrating your escape from a system you are responsible for fixing sends the wrong message to millions of families who have no such option.
The goal of public service shouldn't be to build an exit plan for your own children.
It should be to build a country where every parent's child has access to an education so good that leaving becomes a choice, not a necessity.
That's the standard we should demand.

@SenTedCruz True @SenTedCruz thank you for the action and measures taken so far to stop the atrocities and genocide against Christians in Nigeria. We say thank you and may God almighty creator bless America.
Please continue the efforts, as the perpetrators has increased the massacre.
Nigerian officials have created an environment that facilitates mass violence against Christians and religious minorities by imposing blasphemy and Sharia laws and looking the other way at jihadist atrocities.
The U.S. government knows the Nigerian officials responsible for these policies, I have been pushing my bill to sanction them, and President Trump has even ordered military action.
Instead of responding to American concerns, Nigerian officials waged a public relations campaign against critics.
They were confident in that campaign and in their ability to continue the status quo, and I am heartened that the House has just definitively proven them wrong.

“Don't Allow Any Police Officers To Search Your Phone and we’re saying this due to the abuse and extortive tendencies of some of our officers. No police officer have the right to search your phone”
- FCT Commissioner Of Police says
One thing I noticed while studying countries with some of the world's best public education systems is this:
In Germany, many public office holders confidently enroll their children in public schools because they trust the system.
In Nigeria, most public office holders enroll their children in private schools or in schools abroad while the public schools they oversee continue to deteriorate.
That has to stop.
You cannot build a world-class public education system when the people responsible for it have no personal stake in its success.
Imagine the speed of reform if every governor, commissioner, local government chairman, legislator, and senior public official knew their own children would sit in those same classrooms, learn from those same teachers, and use those same facilities.
Nothing creates accountability faster than shared consequences.
