WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Rep. David Rouzer introduced a bill to the House of Representatives to eliminate the Department of Education on Monday.
The bill, titled ‘To provide for the elimination of the Department of Education and other purposes.’, was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
“I’ve introduced the States’ Education Reclamation Act in each Congress since I was first elected. Education should be handled at the state and local level without interference from the Federal government. This bill takes the funding appropriated to the Department of Education and gets it back to the states to use for teacher pay increases, new schools and/or whatever each individual state needs to enhance education,” Rouzer said in a statement.
