The South Dakota Education Association and the state Democratic Party have voiced strong opposition to Republican U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds’ proposal aimed at dismantling the federal Department of Education.
Both organizations argue that the elimination of the department would undermine educational standards and support for schools across the nation. They emphasize the importance of federal oversight and funding in ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students.
The proposal has sparked a debate about the role of federal government in education and the potential consequences for students and educators if such a significant change were to occur.
