Education

The NOTA Party will close the Dept. of Education, returning the authority of K-12 education to the states and the people, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution.

No one cares more about the education of their child than the parents. Therefore education needs to be handled as close to home as possible, not in some distant office in Washington DC.

The current Dept. of Education is an unholy alliance that mostly serves textbook publishers and teacher’s unions. It is a perfect example of what happens when the Stupid Party and the Evil Party get together to something that is both stupid and evil, then call it bipartisan.

Hong Kong leads every category in student performance, yet has more students per classroom than the USA, so crowded classrooms are no excuse. Tiny Estonia spends half as much per student yet is consistently in the top ten in all categories, so lack of money is no excuse either.

Sorry USA, you’re not number 1, not even close.
