Trump order seeks to limit federal role in K-12 education
Boston Globe, Apr 26, 2018, Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that aims to reduce the federal government’s role in K-12 education.

Trump is giving Education Secretary Betsy DeVos just short of a year — 300 days — to identify areas where Washington has overstepped its legal authority in education, and modify and repeal regulations and guidance from her department, if necessary. A report will be returned to the White House and eventually made public, officials said.

Trump complained that the government over the years has forced states and schools to comply with ‘‘federal whims.’’ He said the order will help restore local control over education.

‘‘We know that local communities do it best and know it best,’’ Trump said, surrounded by governors, members of Congress and teachers. ‘‘The time has come to empower parents and teachers to make the decisions that help their students achieve success.’’

Only if you don't live in a liberal state.

Or maybe if you do. The lefties will no longer have the excuse of having to abide by federal mandates so the onus for poor results will be on them.

 Precursor to ending tenure.

Without the 'But our hands are tied by Washington. That's our story and we're sticking to it.'

Get that off the table and watch parents start raising the roof over the garbage they have to finance to have the State foist it on their kids.
