Return education control to parents, teachers, principals, and states, with the federal government getting out of the way.

I believe that control of education needs to be in the hands of parents, teachers and principals at the local level. The federal government should get out of the way and let the states do what is best for their local school officials

Commits to local control of education and reduced federal involvement.

I believe we should return to the fundamentals of learning with a focus on critical thinking... Teachers should be allowed to focus on educating our students, not bogged down with paperwork and testing.

The House today passed H.R. 2616, Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, legislation led by Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) and Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) to increase transparency in K-12 schools, strengthen parents’ rights, and ensure federal education dollars are not used to advance radical political or ideological agendas in the classroom.

Recent House passage of a parental-rights education bill is a concrete same-term step toward shifting control toward parents, but it is not itself a transfer of education authority to states or a rollback of the federal role.

House Acts to Strengthen Parents’ Say in Education | Committee on Education & the Workforce
secondary · model gpt-5.4-mini · confidence 92%

The Committee on Education and Workforce ... referred the bill (H.R. 2616) to require public elementary and middle schools that receive funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to obtain parental consent before changing a minor's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on any school form or sex-based accommodations, including locker rooms or bathrooms, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon with an amendment.

Committee action advanced a bill that materially increases parental control over school decisions, but it is still a legislative step rather than completed delivery of the broader promise.

H. Rept. 119-441 - PARENTAL RIGHTS OVER THE EDUCATION AND CARE OF THEIR KIDS ACT
secondary · model gpt-5.4-mini · confidence 89%

I believe every parent should have the right to choose where they send their children to school. I’m a proud cosponsor of the Parents Bill of Rights Act to protect parental involvement in education by reinforcing their right to be heard.

Rouzer’s official issue page still reflects the promise’s core framing, but it is a statement of position rather than evidence that the federal government has gotten out of the way.
