Releases statement regarding NCLB reauthorization
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz R-Texas today issued the following statement about Republican education reform:
The Senate is currently considering reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Actalso known as No Child Left Behind. Congress must seize this opportunity to eliminate burdensome federal mandates and ineffective programs in order to restore decision making back to parents and students. As a first principle for education reform the Republican Congress should advance school choice for Americas children.
To that end Senator Mike Lee and I have introduced the Enhancing Educational Opportunities for All Students Act (S. 306) which would allow federal education dollars to follow low-income students to any public or private school of their choiceand which I will push to be included in the final bill.
School choice is the civil rights issue of our day and it is long past time for Congress to prioritize the future of our children above the interests of union bosses and bureaucrats.
