Hillary Clinton touches down in Minneapolis pledging strong support for teachers

Hillary Clinton told an enthusiastic group of educators in Minneapolis on Monday night that she wants to institute universal preschool, repair crumbling schools and raise teachers’ wages.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee also vowed to eliminate tuition at public colleges and universities for students of families that make less than $125,000 a year. She lamented a system that she says overly emphasizes standardized testing and she called for more focus on computer science training for students.

“When I am president you will have a partner in the White House,” Clinton said to applause. “I know that you have some of the hardest, most important jobs in the world and I want to say right from the outset that I’m with you.”
