Rep. David Rouzer introduces bill to eliminate Department of Education
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Rep. David Rouzer introduced a bill to the House of Representatives to eliminate the Department of Education on Monday.
The bill, titled ‘To provide for the elimination of the Department of Education and other purposes.’, was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
“I’ve introduced the States’ Education Reclamation Act in each Congress since I was first elected. Education should be handled at the state and local level without interference from the Federal government. This bill takes the funding appropriated to the Department of Education and gets it back to the states to use for teacher pay increases, new schools and/or whatever each individual state needs to enhance education,” Rouzer said in a statement.

Rep. David Rouzer, a Republican from North Carolina, has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that aims to eliminate the Department of Education. The bill, titled the Education Freedom Act, seeks to abolish the federal agency and return control of education policy and funding to the states.
Rep. Rouzer argues that the Department of Education has become bloated and inefficient, and that it has overstepped its authority in dictating education policy to states and local school districts. He believes that by eliminating the department, states will have more flexibility to tailor education programs to meet the needs of their students and communities.
Critics of the bill argue that abolishing the Department of Education would lead to a lack of oversight and accountability in education, and could result in disparities in education funding and resources between states. They also point out that the department plays a crucial role in enforcing civil rights laws and protecting the rights of students with disabilities.
The Education Freedom Act is likely to face strong opposition in Congress, but Rep. Rouzer remains committed to his goal of eliminating the Department of Education and returning control of education to the states. Stay tuned for updates on this controversial legislation.
