Congressman Clawson Restates Opposition to NCLB Rewrite with Federal Standards & Testing Mandates

May, 2015

Congressman Curt Clawson (R-FL-19) visited the Daybreak Show hosted by Drew Steele on 92.5 Fox News out of Fort Meyers on May 8th.  He discussed multiple issues from the 70th anniversary of VE Day to stock transactions to foreign affairs to education. Dr. Effrem was able to ask him his views on the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind/Elementary and Secondary Education Act. (See our analysis HERE).

He reiterated his strong opposition to both the House and Senate education bills.  Listen to his response starting at 17:10.  He said that :

  • He and his House colleagues are "not in the negotiating mood" regarding the big government NCLB rewrite
  • The US Department of Education is way too large and needs to be downsized
  • Our kids "should not be brainwashed."
  • He fully intends to keep his campaign promises about education and Common Core
We thank Congressman Clawson and his colleagues for their strong stand against the ever expanding reach of the federal government in education!
