Getting Washington Out of Education 59:30

منذ 30 weeks59:30

59:30

If you've ever wondered why the federal government is in the business of running your local school district from 3,000 miles away, you're not alone. In fact, the idea that education policy should be dictated by Washington, DC, rather than parents, teachers, and communities was never a given in American life and most of our nation's history. It wasn't fully a reality until 1980, when the Department of Education was established. However, a new Trump administration proposal to eliminate the Department of Education could change this. Lindsey Burke joined the show to discuss the prospect of the federal government taking a backseat in American education and how they took the driver's seat to begin with. As Director of the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation, Dr. Lindsey Burke oversees Heritage's research and policy on issues pertaining to preschool, K-12, and higher education reform.…
