The debate over the federal role in education has been going on for decades. Some say the feds should have a relatively large role while others say it should be relatively small. But while most people believe there should be at least some federal oversight, some believe there should be none at all.
U.S. Representative Tom Massie believes there should be no federal involvement in education, and he has introduced H.R. 899, a bill to terminate the Department of Education.
Send an email to your U.S. Representative encouraging him/her to co-sponsor H.R. 899. Remind him/her that unelected federal bureaucrats are too far removed to understand or dictate policies for local school districts in Illinois. They should not be in charge of our children’s intellectual and moral development. Local school boards, elected by local voters, are best equipped to determine education policy.
