My dad got arrested.

So I have an interesting background.

So there's that.

Yeah.

But I ended up actually going to Venice High School one of these times.

And that was around my junior year.

And what the L.A.

Unified School District was doing at the time is they're actually busing in kids from other parts of L.A.

County.

And at the time, specifically in the early 2000s, there was a big issue with the black and Chicano gangs in L.A.,

And so, you know, what was happening outside in the neighborhoods was carrying on into the school districts.

And when you have gang activity and like kids, the only opportunity that they have is like being able to join a gang and that's it.

You know, they're never going to go to college.

They're never going to have the opportunity.

And so that carries on into the education system.

They're never given a chance.

And so I think in Florida we've been doing it right with school choice.

President Trump's been pretty big on that.

But being able to give students or their parents the ability to send them to good schools without gang activity outside of their zip code, that matters.

And that does impact people.
