Superintendent Walters issues memo on dismantling U.S. Department of Education

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — State Superintendent Ryan Walters issued a memo on Thursday addressing the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education proposed by President-elect Donald Trump.

In the memo, Walters outlines five areas that he says would restore authority to the states if the U.S. Department of Education is eliminated: Championing parents' rights, ending social indoctrination in classrooms, protecting patriotism in curriculum, stopping illegal immigration's impact on schools, and blocking foreign influence in our schools.
