Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice has been frequently floated as a potential pick for President-elect Donald Trump’s education secretary, but the same agency she could lead is also one she says should be abolished.
“Parents are the number one driver of student success. Parents were put in the back seat when it came to their kids’ education. We need to put them in the driver’s seat, and I know that President Trump believes that, too,” Justice said Monday on “Fox & Friends First.”
“Ultimately, I believe the Department of Education should be shut down. Since it was created, we have only seen plummeting achievement scores, teachers unions having more influence on our kids’ education and more global interference in our kids’ education. It’s no coincidence that kids in Kenya are learning the same type of comprehensive sex education curriculum that they are in New Jersey, so we absolutely need to stop the waste at the federal Department of Education and put parents back in the driver’s seat.”
