Michigan's gubernatorial hopefuls took the stage at a recent MEA forum, highlighting key issues that could shape the state's future. Education funding emerged as a top priority, with candidates vowing to increase support for K-12 schools and address the growing teacher shortage. However, the discussion took a sharp turn when the topic of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in schools was raised, revealing stark differences in approach among the candidates. While some advocated for a more nuanced response, others called for a complete ban on ICE agents in schools, reflecting the deepening divide on immigration policy in the state.
