Education

Our children’s education is vital to our nation’s future and we must ensure all children have access to a quality education. Over the past decade, the federal government’s role in education has sharply increased. More and more money has been thrown at the problem and more government bureaucrats have been hired in Washington to study the issues facing our schools. Education policy should be made closer to home, by state and local officials, along with school administrators, teachers, and parents; not bureaucrats in Washington, DC. States should be free to create their own education agendas and implement them in a manner that best suits their individual educational needs and not one-size-fits-all programs mandated by Washington.
