Rep. Burgess Owens, R-UT, told Newsmax that President Donald Trump’s decision to pare back the U.S. Department of Education and return control of education to parents and the states is a great time in U.S. history.
Rep. Owens told Saturday Report, “I’m so excited. This is a momentous occasion for us when you think about a consequential president. President Trump’s done a lot of things, and he will continue to do so. The most important thing, remember, as we’re going to finally get our kids back to learning and thinking and being critical thinkers and being innovators and being hopeful for our country.”
Rep Owens serves on the U..S. House Education and Workforce Committee. He said public education in America in recent decades has been of little value to kids and the nation. “What we’ve seen the last 40 to 50 years is an attack on our kids and their future and the result of that are the terrible test scores, the divisiveness we have, and the lack of understanding and appreciation.”
