Here in New Mexico we have some of the very worst schools in the nation. Thanks to the teachers' unions and federal bureaucrats they will stay that way in the foreseeable future without serious education reform. We need to drain the swamp, eliminate silly departments in the federal government and let children no matter where they may live have the opportunity for a decent education. Kill the Dept. of Education; that would be a good first step!REPORT COMMENTS

The federal government is too far from the local schools, which are so different, to make policy which applies to all. It would be better to have local jurisdiction make their own decisions.REPORT COMMENTS

Lets take back our Education programs back to the states and local government. Our kids are just plain stupid now, have no clue of our past history of greatness and believe we are in fact an aggressive war mongering country. Nothing could be further from the truth. I love this bill make it happen.REPORT COMMENTS

After forced to pay dues to school unions for nearly 20 years, I saw they do not serve students but only serve themselves. Education should be controlled at the local level not by bureaucrats in Washington!REPORT COMMENTS

Legislatures and the U.S Congress have been bribed for far too long by the Teachers' unions ,it's no wonder the U.S is ranked # 34 in the World in quality of education. The union work rules, pension deficits et al are outrageous.REPORT COMMENTS

I know that this is a very much needed as for years I have been watching the young people get less patriotic and more indoctrinated in social ways of thinking. I also watch the young people have less leaning abilities, like how to read, spell, use the proper grammar, etc. My heart aches to see the direction my country is going. Please fight for her and not wavier.REPORT COMMENTS

The swamp of DC. must be drained out of Clinton and Obama hold overs. Obama has formed a deep state in an action to create a Cup d'eta against our loved president Trump. We the Trump supporters will not stand by and let this Rouge Radical Anti- American accomplish this action. I hope and pray i have made myself clear on this.REPORT COMMENTS

Education is a local issue not something to be handed over to bureaucrats at the national level. Keep the national government establishment OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS. They created enough problems with everything else they touch. We don't need their brainwashing approach to education - we need the revert to the real history of the country not the liberal gibberish spewed out today.REPORT COMMENTS

Back to basics! We have at least 1 generation not being taught basic skills that they would use the rest of their lives! My children were not taught how to write in cursive. They cannot read it or write it! Schools and teachers should be able to teach not focus on state or federal exams! We are failing our children then complaining because they don't know what they should to graduate. They cannot even fill out job applications or sign a bank signature card.REPORT COMMENTS

The fact that Common Core was ever introduced in the school system has done a tremendous disservice to our children. The states need to have total responsibility in providing our young generations the education and skills they so desperately need. If you haven't noticed our country has fallen way behind in math, science plus other areas of education as shown in the stats with other countries.REPORT COMMENTS
