Abolish the Department of Education is the Right Thing to Do

Our children’s education is too important to be left up to a federal centralized bureaucracy. We should judge all governmental agencies by their results rather than their intentions. Like virtually every federal department, the Department of Education has only made things worse. Student educational outcomes have worsened since the creation of the Department of Education. A group of federal bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. cannot possibly design a curriculum that meets the unique needs of millions of school children across the nation. We need to restore control over education to the local level where teachers and parents are put back in charge. Make no mistake; eliminating the Department of Education is a pro-education position. -- quote, Julie Borowski, http://www.freedomworks.org
