'The Department Of Education Should Not Exist:' Former DOE Secretary Betsy DeVos
[DailyWire] Former U.S. Department of Education (DOE) Secretary Betsy DeVos spoke during the Moms For Liberty National Summit in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday and called on abolishing the federal agency she once served."I personally think the Department of Education should not exist," DeVos said during the summit, according to the Florida Phoenix. DeVos, who ran the education department during the Trump Administration, has continued advocating for school choice for American children. In an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation, DeVos said Republicans have talked about shrinking or eliminating the department for "many, many years." However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... she said taking practical steps like block grants to the states — a proposal recently introduced to Congress — could turn the tides and create a feasible option to make the idea a reality. "Just watching how the system has performed or not performed the last two years, I think makes this argument of shrinking the department to be much more potent," DeVos told the Daily Caller. Over the last two years, the education system had kept children hostage — many of whom could not escape. She laid out a five-point plan to reform education for Republicans to implement if the party can dominate Congress after the 2022 Midterm Elections come this November. In addition to eliminating the department, the Daily Caller reports that her plan also includes supporting multiple pathways to post-K-12 education, federal student aid reform, and restoring Title IX. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... educational freedom, which would give parents a choice to send their children to various schools, marks the former department head’s most important reform. "The solution to that is to have policies that will actually allow the resources to follow the family, to follow the child, to wherever their family decides they’re going to learn best," DeVos said.
