Burgess Owens, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman representing Utah's 4th district, shared his views on education and current events through a series of tweets. Known for his advocacy in education reform and policy-making, Owens took to social media to express his support for alternative educational pathways and recent political appointments.
On March 3, 2025, Rep. Burgess Owens tweeted about the importance of diverse educational paths: "A four-year degree isn’t the only path to success. I’m working on bipartisan solutions to connect students with career & technical education options that give them real skills and connect them to the modern workforce—all debt-free!" This statement underscores his commitment to promoting career and technical education as viable alternatives to traditional college degrees.
In another tweet dated March 4, 2025, Owens expressed enthusiasm over a recent political appointment: "The Senate just confirmed Linda McMahon as President Trump’s Secretary of Education, and I could not be more excited to have a fighter like her leading this charge." His excitement reflects his support for McMahon's leadership in the Department of Education under President Trump's administration.
Later that day, Owens addressed rising antisemitic incidents across U.S. college campuses: "Since October 7th, antisemitic incidents have skyrocketed across the United States with many of our oldest and proudest college campuses at the center of a movement that seeks to defend & justify genocidal terrorists. This is the correct action, thank you, President Trump." The congressman highlighted concerns over these developments while acknowledging actions taken by President Trump.
