In an April 12, 2019 meet-and-greet event when asked about his views on education policy, Hickenlooper gave a variety of improvements he would make to the public school system. Within the conversation, Hickenlooper expressed his opinions on school voucher programs, saying that the program which would allow school districts to offer children either a full public school education or a voucher to attend a private school, regardless of whether that school was religiously affiliated, was “ridiculous.”
