Louisiana’s Top Educator Supports Closure of U.S. Department of Education

Dr. Cade Brumley supports the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) because he says he’s a strong supporter of allowing Louisiana residents to decide what should be taught in public school.

As the Louisiana Radio Network reports, Brumley contends that, “We’ve got to trust moms and dads and teachers and policymakers here to make good decisions, and I think that’s what the Trump administration is going to do by putting more emphasis on State.”
