Trump on Education Exec. Order: Time Has Come to Empower Parents, Teachers to Help Students Achieve Success

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Previous administrations have wrongfully forced states and schools to comply with federal whims and dictate what our kids are taught. But we know that local community dos it best and know it best. The time has come to empower parents and teachers to make the decisions that help their students achieve success. That’s what this executive order is all about. So important. Thomas Jefferson put it best when he said, 'I believe the states can best govern our home concerns.' With this executive order and the many actions that we’ve taken in less than 100 days, we’re providing our states and communities with control over the matters that are most important to them. Together we’re going to fight to give our children the bright and beautiful future they deserve.”
