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

Washington D.C. – Today, Representative Barry Moore (AL-01) reintroduced legislation that would abolish the Department of Education and provide funding directly to states for elementary and secondary education. This bill would deliver President Trump's promise of returning power over education to families instead of bureaucrats. This bill is cosponsored by Reps. John McGuire (VA-05), Brandon Gill (TX-26), and Eli Crane (AZ-02).

"The Department of Education has turned into a breeding ground for political activists pushing anti-American ideologies," said Moore. "Across the country, we've seen federal taxpayer dollars fund the promotion of radical gender and critical race theories in classrooms—often without parents' knowledge or approval. Education should be a family decision, not a federal government decision. It's time to give parents back the power over their children's learning."

Examples of radical left indoctrination by the Department of Education:

The Department of Education policy required schools to recognize students based on their gender identity rather than their biological sex. Schools cannot demand that students update official records or provide medical documentation to be treated according to their gender identity, and this policy can be implemented without parental approval.

Critical Race Theory was a part of the Bidens Administrations Department of Education curriculum. They sought to make it a key focus of American History and Civics Education programs nationwide. However, after widespread backlash, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona withdrew the proposed guidelines.

To further promote gender ideology, the Biden Administration established the Office of Safe and Supportive Schools, which allocated taxpayer dollars to fund sensitivity training on non-binary and transgender topics for public schools across the country.
