I support improving public schools -- by taxing locally and making decisions locally and saving money by not having overlapping redundant beauracracies at the district, state, and federal level. The Department of Education need not exist. There should be an undersecretary to the Secretary of the Interior with some worker bees who crunch numbers and make suggestions to the states. No Child Left Behind is living proof that Bush was no conservative.
