"Taxpayers send the Education Department more than $80 billion a year. The department accounts for roughly 12% of education spending nationally. In return for that small percentage, local school districts surrender much of their control over school operations and get buried in mountains of resource draining paperwork that is the lifeblood of the bureaucracy.
It's not worth it. Nothing would be lost in the classroom if the Education Department was to go away."

Students need education freedom.
Parents want education freedom.
Wise politicians will listen to parents.
Foolish politicians ignore them at their peril.

School choice was THE winning issue in the 2024 primary elections. In the primaries, our team defeated 67% (!) of the anti-school choice lawmakers we targeted. Politicians need to listen to parents - or should expect to lose their seat.

@BetsyDeVos Teachers want you to shut up and butt out of public education. You just want to line your pockets. You have zero experience in public education. You should have no opinion.

@OcoeeMiddle1 Well deserved!! Mr. Mason is a champion for his students. It is an honor to work with him!

Congratulations to our very own Mr. Jacob Mason for being chosen as the 2024 Outstanding Educator by the Down Syndrome Community of Greater Chattanooga.

@DrPhil can we not lump substitute teachers and teachers in the same group? Teachers have education degrees and a high level of training. Subs usually do not.

@BetsyDeVos @GovWhitmer You’re disgusting and deeply troubling.
English
Disgusting and deeply troubling. But the school unions will keep "passing the trash" until someone stops them. Will @GovWhitmer do anything??

I'll say it again: You misspelled parents.
Secretary Miguel Cardona@SecCardona
Teachers know what is best for their kids because they are with them every day. We must trust teachers.

The chaos at Stanford epitomizes a larger problem: higher education isn’t actually focused on education. Principles like free speech, due process, and intellectual rigor aren’t partisan — they’re fundamental ideals to a functioning university.

Congratulations to the Bradley Concert Band, and Bradley Wind Ensemble for both receiving superior ratings at concert performance assessment today. Bravo!!

Even if you support student loan cancellation, there's no denying it doesn't fix the underlying problem of runaway college tuition. "Free money" from Washington is the problem, not the solution!
Wall Street Journal Opinion@WSJopinion
Why would colleges try to control tuition if students don’t have to worry about taking on too much debt since their payments will be capped? on.wsj.com/40c4JBf

I’ve always said education freedom is a “when” not an “if.” Its enactment is inevitable because it’s a policy so obviously better for students and families.

Arkansas made history today, setting the education model for the nation. The failed status quo is dead, and hope is alive for every kid in our state!

@BetsyDeVos Nothing to see here- just a rich old lady looking to get richer by screwing over public education and teachers.

Nothing to see here... just three friendly Socialists discussing how the state can further take control of your kids.

A major, major win for kids and families in Arizona. Congratulations to Gov. @DougDucey and all the legislative leaders for putting students first!

Thank you to our awesome band directors for having daily “Callie Rallies” to hype Callie up for state!

Your daily reminder that the government school union bosses don't actually care about your kids.

Seattle teachers union demands forced masking until May to ensure 'sense of normalcy' foxnews.com/politics/seatt…

@BetsyDeVos There’s nothing normal about someone with NO education background being secretary of education. But I guess money can buy anything- even a job you are completely unqualified for. Business norms do not work in public education. Go away!
English
There is nothing "normal" about kids wearing masks over their face every day in school in perpetuity. For them to consider that or suggest that is normal, just shows how bent the government school unions are on their own agenda, not on what's right for kids.
Washington Examiner@dcexaminer
Teachers unions in at least three major cities are demanding that their school districts maintain indoor mask requirements, despite recently released guidelines from the CDC that say students can safely unmask at schools. washex.am/3hQdZac
