From Fox News: 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.”
Trump has floated abolishing the agency, a push that has lingered among conservatives for some time. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) curriculum, sex education and teachers’ union concerns have only exacerbated the issue.
However, the report explains that completely abolishing the agency may not be so easy, as it would require approval from 60 senators.
At the very least, Justice said multiple improvement should be made, including putting an end to the “critical race theory” agenda and the “transgender insanity” in the public schools.
Last week, Congress announced that the Education Department just failed its audit for the THIRD YEAR in a row.
“Enough failure,” Justice declared on X Monday.

“We want to get back to common sense governance in the United States of America. We want more school choice. Parents have the fundamental right to direct the education of their children. They should have transparency into what their children are learning in school and ultimately have the choice as to where their child is educated,” Justice said.
