AFPI-GA Applauds Committee for Advancing Resolution to Return Education Authority to the States

Atlanta, GA—The America First Policy Institute’s Georgia Chapter (AFPI-GA) issued the following statement after the Special Rules Committee advanced HR1299, a resolution supporting the dissolution of the U.S. Department of Education and the return of education authority to the states:

“AFPI-GA applauds the committee for advancing this important resolution that reaffirms a fundamental principle: education decisions are best made closest to the students they impact,” said Rebecca Yardley, Executive Director of AFPI-GA. “For too long, Washington bureaucracies have imposed one-size-fits-all policies that fail to meet the needs of Georgia families. HR1299 represents a meaningful step toward restoring state and local control, empowering parents, and improving outcomes for students. We commend lawmakers for moving this resolution forward and urge its continued consideration.”
