As I see it, I’m Andy Parish. For over 40 years, the U.S. Department of Education has been a black hole for taxpayer dollars. We’ve thrown billions into the system, yet reading and math scores are plummeting, literacy rates are barely hanging on, and we’re lagging behind other countries in STEM.
How much money would you throw into a rusty old car before realizing, Hey, it’s time for an upgrade.
That’s what we’ve been doing with the Department of Education. It’s not an engine for progress. It’s a clunker that’s draining resources while our kids fall further behind. Trump’s plan to shut down the department is long overdue. It’s been a decades long crisis, only getting worse and has only consistently failed our children. It’s time to empower local school boards and give them the resources they need to provide our kids with a quality education.
Let’s invest in our future and put an end to this failed experiment. Our kids can’t afford to wait any longer. I’m Andy Parish on WIZM.
