PHILADELPHIA — After an hour of at times gut-wrenching testimonials about the effect of the drug and gun crisis in Philadelphia, Mehmet Oz, who convened the community discussion, was asked what he could do about those issues as a U.S. senator.
“We do have to deal with the education system, and I think the collapse of the public school systems in places like Philadelphia has dramatically worsened what was already a bad trend,” Oz told reporters after the event.
He said Congress should create a large fund of public money to allocate to each state to support school vouchers.
