Ending the Department of Education | Secretary McMahon

Published | Video Starts at 13:23

If you get the money closer to the schools, that should have a massive impact on teachers. But getting rid of the Department of Education will not have any direct negative impact on teachers, would you say? I don't think [getting rid of the Department of Education] will have a negative impact as we return education to the states. And I've actually taken that as my motto. Instead of dismantling the department or taking down the department, it is really returning education to the states where it needs to be. (13:23–13:28)
