Oklahoma lawmakers are showing support for the elimination of the Department of Education, following President-elect Donald Trump's campaign promise to do away with the department. Republican Policy Committee Chair-elect and Oklahoma Rep. Kevin Hern expressed his belief in shifting more education responsibilities to the state level rather than Washington, D.C., citing a longstanding Republican stance on the issue.
Rep. Josh Brecheen echoed this sentiment, suggesting that a one-size-fits-all approach may be limiting educational innovation and creativity. He emphasized the importance of granting states complete control over education.
