Bill > H5154

This resolution, passed by the South Carolina House of Representatives, expresses support for the President's efforts to eliminate the United States Department of Education and return control of education to individual states. The resolution argues that the federal government's involvement in education, particularly through the Department of Education established in 1980, has led to excessive federal control and ineffective policies, despite significant spending. It cites the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which reserves powers not given to the federal government to the states, and asserts that states are better equipped to address the unique educational needs of their students. Therefore, the South Carolina House of Representatives is urging the U.S. Congress to support and enact legislation to dismantle the Department of Education and transfer its responsibilities to the states.
