The GOP Rep. from Kentucky, Thomas Massie, has represented detailed legislation that will end the United States Department of Education.
The wording of the detailed legislation states:
“The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2023,”
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie claimed that there is an absence of a constitutional authority that allows the establishment of such a department.
He stated in a tweet:
“I have introduced a bill to terminate the Department of Education. There is no Constitutional authority for this federal bureaucracy to exist.”
The legislation, brought forward by Massie, will most probably be affirmed by the House of Republicans, however, it might not be able to pass the Senate.
Massie stated:
“Unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. should not be in charge of our children’s intellectual and moral development. States and local communities are best positioned to shape curricula that meet the needs of their students. Schools should be accountable. Parents have the right to choose the most appropriate educational opportunity for their children, including home school, public school, or private school.”
Massie’s press briefing enlisted several Republican Reps. such as Chip Roy of Texas, Mary Miller of Illinois, Rich McCormick of Georgia, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, Andy Biggs of Arizona, as original cosponsors.
Massie, in a tweet, stated “Thanks” to all the lawmakers for supporting the legislation, that includes Mike Collins of Georgia, Russ Fulcher of Idaho, and Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin.
