I had already learned to read by my mother reading stories to me as I sat on her lap. I found kindergarten to be a waste of time. And now they want to send kids to school at age 3???
Paid Babysitters for poor folk is all it was.

Castro has a very detailed policy plan on housing. https://issues.juliancastro.com/people-first-housing/

I might not agree fully with everything in his immigration plan but it is quite detailed and transparent.



Education gets pretty good coverage too.


There are a lot of areas other not covered. But he has some priorities you can read about if interested.

He'll be known for advocating for free abortions for trans women. End of story.
