On the recordApril 28, 1998
it is sad to say, but America's children are not receiving the education they need and deserve. I believe that we are facing this grim situation because parents, unfortunately, have been edged out of the system. For years and years, the Federal Government has tried to solve educational problems. In fact, the Federal Department of Education has spent over $444 billion since its establishment in 1980, but it has failed our children. Adding more bureaucrats and ignoring parents and teachers is not the solution. The Federal Government has had its turn. The solution is to put education decisions back in the hands of parents and teachers where education belongs. It is time to truly repair our damaged education system and to empower parents to choose the school that is best for their children. Support school choice for America's future.
