So, what’s to show from the last 40 years?

Results of U.S. Department of Education:

Despite dramatic increases in federal intervention and funding in the public education system since the 1960s, educational achievement has not improved. The most widely used measure of school achievement are scores from National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which shows no significant change. Efforts to improve educational outcomes for low income children have also been expensive and unproductive. Even the federal college grant and loan programs have been ineffective for students. The evidence is inarguable, the federal government’s intervention in education has been a dismal failure.

WHAT CAN BE DONE?

1. Send all Program Management and Funding to the states including Pell Grants for college.
2. Repeal all laws permitting federal intervention in K-12 education starting with ESSA.
3. Privatize college loan programs through savings & loan institutions.
4. Eliminate all offices and divisions in the US Department of Education and related spending.
5. Reduce federal tax collection, shifting education revenue responsibilities entirely back to the states.

READ BLUEPRINT TO CLOSE USED

We urgently need a hearing on a bill to terminate the Department of Education, such as H.R.899. Contacting your elected officials is the earnest beginning of this conversation. Please contact your US Congressional Representative and ask if they will support H.R.899 to abolish the US Dept. of Ed.

HOW TO CONTACT ELECTED OFFICIALS

It is the mission of USPIE to restore parental & local control of education by eradicating federal intrusion. Although this experiment with federal control of local public schools has gone on for half a century now, it has failed. We need to stop treating children like guinea pigs in some social engineering laboratory & start embracing children as human beings to be supported and inspired to achieve their own dreams and aspirations.
