“Despite decades of a US Department of Education, we’re not doing any better in educating our students. If anything, we’re now doing worse ... I think the question is how the American people can best be served. The goal shouldn’t be to preserve the jobs of bureaucrats. The goal shouldn’t be to preserve the status quo. We should ask, how can we best serve students and their families?”

Jan Jekielek interviews Kenneth L. Marcus, who is the former assistant secretary of education for civil rights and the founder and chairman of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law.

“Across the board, we have to worry about educators that are focused less on education and more on keeping the federal bureaucrats and federal enforcers at bay in ways that could tie their hands, reduce their judgment and ultimately make the students less safe.”
