WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore issued the following statement applauding President Trump’s new executive order to dismantle the Department of Education:
“I proudly ran on eliminating the federal Department of Education and block granting those dollars directly to the states, and I am proud to see that come to fruition.
“Educational outcomes have been disastrous since the Department’s creation under President Carter — and it’s time we fully returned the decision-making authority back to the states. I’m grateful to President Trump for keeping his campaign promise, and, in Congress, I can’t wait to work on legislation to make this action permanent.”
