House Committee on Education & Workforce

BREAKING ‼️ the Committee just released a bombshell report on the spread of antisemitism on American college campuses. The report found that weak leadership, radical faculty, activist student groups, and foreign funding are to blame. Read the report: edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…

Happy Small Business Week! @HouseGOP remains committed to helping Main Street America thrive. Legislation like the Working Families Tax Cuts helps local businesses by providing small business owners with much-needed certainty and incentivizing them to invest more in their operations.

This week, we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week.  As Chairman of the @EdWorkforceCmte, I am proud to support efforts to provide training opportunities to hardworking Americans in Michigan's 5th district. The committee recently advanced my bill, A Stronger Workforce for America Act, to promote apprenticeships and work-based learning.

Chairman @RepWalberg’s statement on a new report released by the Trump administration’s Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias 👇 edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…

Chairman @RepWalberg 💬 “For years, the Biden-Harris administration doggedly harassed and targeted Christians simply for living according to their beliefs. Under Biden, the Department of Education singled out Christian universities, weaponized Title IX to allow men in girls’ locker rooms, and pushed sexually explicit content in schools. When parents spoke up, they were stonewalled by bureaucrats and harassed by law enforcement—undermining a parent’s fundamental right to raise his or her child according to their own sincerely held beliefs.  “Republicans and the Trump administration saw this rampant religious persecution and said: enough is enough. Although this report details the deep-rooted, anti-faith bias of the Biden-Harris administration, it also highlights how President Trump is fighting to restore religious liberty and restore parents’ ability to raise their children according to their own values. As a father, grandfather, and former pastor, I am proud to work alongside President Trump and my fellow Republicans to continue our work to protect parental rights and restore religious liberty for the American people.”

In @EdWorkforceCmte, we held a hearing on protecting gifted and accelerated learning programs. As a husband and father to two educators, I’ve seen firsthand how these programs set students up for success. Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

Today, Chairman @RepWalberg issued the following statement in support of @usedgov’s final rule implementing key student loan provisions of the Working Families Tax Cuts to reduce college costs and streamline student loan repayment ⤵️ edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…

America is hiring—and apprenticeships are leading the way. Under President Trump, we’ve never had a stronger administration for apprenticeship opportunities.

Today in @EdWorkforceCmte, we held a hearing on the future of the First Amendment in higher education. College campuses should be places where ideas are tested, challenged, and debated, not places where students fear speaking up. Free speech must be protected.

Left-wing dogma is deep-rooted in academia and higher education. @RepBobOnder and Mr. Langhofer discuss how one doctor, like many health care professionals across the U.S., was punished for his concerns about subjecting children to irreversible, harmful gender transition treatments.

Many campuses have become left-wing echo chambers that promote intolerance. Dr. McGuire tells @RepWalberg that conservative students on college campuses feel forced to self-censor—limiting free speech on campus.

Across the country, students are being forced to choose: speak out for what they believe in or remain silent. Read HEWD Subcommittee Chairman @RepBurgessOwens' opening statement from today's hearing on the state of the First Amendment in higher ed 👇 edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…

LIVE: Hearing on the First Amendment in Higher Education x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We must give parents the ability to choose the education option that is best for their children. The Working Families Tax Cuts support families through the creation of the Education Freedom Tax Credit, which expands options for students so that every child can succeed.

Maybe sit this one out bud.

Students across the country are being targeted for speaking out—forced to choose: speech or silence. Tune in tomorrow at 10:15 AM ET ⬇️ @RepBurgessOwens & the HEWD Subcommittee examine the future of the First Amendment in higher education: edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…

DEI and equitable grading don't lift students up. They just lower the bar for everyone. We need options for students to learn at a level that actually challenges them while building good habits to succeed after graduation.

If we want our kids to succeed, we need to hold them to high standards. @RepBurgessOwens and today's witness explain how equity policies are actually LOWERING standards in schools—and setting our kids behind.
