Petition to change role of US DOE
To be delivered to: The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate and President Barack Obama

“Change the U.S. Department of Education from a dictator of school policy to that of a research, advisory and resource organization.”
The DOE has wasted billions trying to impose counterfeit reforms on public education. High stakes, useless testing has demoralized teachers, narrowed the curriculum and left parents on the sidelines. Student achievement has not improved. The DOE could help by becoming a research, resource and advisory organization. As stated in the 10th Amendment, we should leave public education as a state responsibility.

2. Wow!
I just signed the petition. Thanks for the info.

I know we disagree on a lot of issues, but on this one we are definitely on the same page.
