I’m against anyone who can’t pass high school being in office. Never mind the fact that her primary home is in Illinois.

Can't pass high school? Didn't she graduate Umass with an Economics degree? (Honestly wondering what's true).

Edit: Ok, I did some of my own research. I'm still probably not voting for her, but let's not say she can't pass high school when she was recognized by Umass.

She literally said during the debate that she was failing high school. She must have gotten her shit together, but it was a weird admission for her to bring up out of nowhere..

Ahhh now I understand where OPs comment is coming from. Thanks.

I do remember that part of the debate, it was during the public schools / school choice / private schools discussion.

I didn't see it as her saying "I failed out of high school" or what OP suggested "I can't pass high school". It came off more like "I struggled through the school system like a lot of kids do".

No problem, or at least that’s where I assume the comment came from.

Overall, i'm ok with school choice, so long as local kids get the first choice locally.

But i'm sure the Republican first choice would find a way to segregate schools in some way.
