Rep. Barry Moore introduces legislation to abolish the Department of Education

February 10, 2023

Washington, D.C. — Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) introduced legislation that would abolish the United States Department of Education and instead provide funding directly to the States for elementary and secondary education. The bill is cosponsored by Reps. Ralph Norman (SC-05), Matt Gaetz (FL-01), Byron Donalds (FL-19), Marjorie Taylor Green (GA-14), and Eli Crane (AZ-02).

"The Department of Education is a nest of radical D.C. activists masquerading as educators pushing indoctrination schemes of radical anti-American ideas. For our children’s protection, it must be abolished,” said Moore. “Across our country, we have seen taxpayer dollars used to expose children to radical gender and race ideologies without the consent of their parents. The education of our children should not belong to the federal government – it is time to return those rights to parents."
