The second of two interviews with different perspectives on the same hot topic: education in America.
Should we keep or quash the Department of Education?
Today we speak with Erika Donalds, Chair of the America First Policy Institute’s Center for Education Opportunity Erika believes free market principles and competition will create better outcomes in education over what she describes as the federal overreach currently from the Dept. of Education. Our previous guest, former Sec. of Education under the Obama Administration, Arne Duncan, presents a different point-of-view; he believes federal oversight will assure accountability and best outcomes for parents and students. You can listen to or watch our conversation with Arne Duncan HERE.
