Parents are growing concerned about Washington’s latest power grab.
National education standards give unelected bureaucrats in Washington the power to choose what children learn instead of parents and local leaders.
According to the Heritage Foundation:
“Americans understand that some distant, unelected bureaucrat in Washington is neither able nor empowered by the Constitution to dictate state education policy. By using federalism as a guiding principle in education – allowing states to set standards and determine how education dollars are spent – children’s needs will best be served, and educational opportunity will flourish.
“Unfortunately, many states have succumbed to pressure to adopt national academic standards. It has happened quietly, threatening local control of education.”
Your tax dollars pay for the public education system. Please "like" this post if you believe that schools should be more accountable to parents, and local and state leaders, not the federal government.
