>>>The DOE has wasted billions trying to impose counterfeit reforms on public education. High stakes, useless testing has demoralized teachers, narrowed the curriculum and left parents on the sidelines. Student achievement has not improved. The DOE could help by becoming a research, resource and advisory organization. As stated in the 10th Amendment, we should leave public education as a state responsibility.>>>>>

3. So we're spouting far-right anti-DOE and "states rights" talking points now?

We should keep the federal government out of education because Texas and Alabama know how to do it better?
