Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

There is no role for the federal government in education. When the federal Department of Education was created in 1979, it took education out of the hands of families and the states and moved it to Washington, attempting to create a one-size-fits-all program. That was followed by No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top and now, the "Common Core" curriculum meant to dictate what is taught in each and every classroom in this nation. Parents should have the right to decide which educational option is best for them. Parents should have the ability to select how and where their child is educated, whether that be home, private, neighborhood charter schools or public schools.
