- Kaitlyn Carr. Faith Loudon Weighs in on Education: Serverna Park, MD Patch. "'A while ago, the federal government stepped in to make our education better, the education department in [Washington, DC] was formed and we have thrown all of the money that they collect from people in Pasadena into the federal government and we are now 25 or 27 in the world for education ... This is a danger.' While she thinks that No Child Left Behind had the right intentions in the beginning, she said it is now hurting today's education systems. Teachers who want good ratings are 'teaching to the test,' which is hurting the overall education of their students. [¦] 'We need to get rid of the Department of Education,' she said."

- Faith Loudon. Campaign Platform. 26 June 2012. "Faith believes that the responsibilities of education and the choices associated with them should rest with the families directly impacted by schools. This means never forcing children to attend failing schools. We should return federal funds to the state and local levels where they can help our children, and decisions can be made by local communities. While President Obama's goal of achieving higher academic performance via competition may be on the right track, students and their families should be the ones to decide whether or not schools are worth attending."
