On the recordFebruary 24, 1994
I am looking now, Mr. Chairman, at section 432 of the General Education Provisions Act, which was passed in 1970, and does not come up for reauthorization. It is permanent law, unless somebody introduces legislation to change it. In this permanent law, Mr. Chairman, it says: Prohibition against Federal control of education. No provision of any applicable program shall be construed to authorize any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over curricula, program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution, school, or school system, or over the selection of library resources, textbooks, or other printed or published instructional materials by any educational institution or school system, or to require the assignment of transportation of students or teachers in order to overcome racial imbalance.
