As President-elect Donald Trump considers his cabinet choices, rumors suggest that Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters is on the shortlist for Secretary of Education. Walters has released a memo outlining his plan to shift the Department of Education's responsibilities to states and parents, citing federal overreach in education.
In the memo addressed to Oklahoma parents and school administrators, Walters criticizes the Department of Education for imposing what he calls 'harmful policies' and controlling school curricula with taxpayer dollars. He aims to address these issues through the Trump Education Advisory Team, set to be announced soon.
