Ben Cline has fought for parental rights and decentralization of education for years, and will continue that fight in Congress by fighting to eliminate the federal Department of Education. Programs like "No Child Left Behind' and "CommonCore' have been top-down approaches that have failed our children, and Ben will oppose any similar programs in the future. Instead, Ben supports empowering families, teachers, communities, and states in the education of our children. This includes supporting our vibrant homeschool community here in the Sixth Congressional District and ensuring that we eliminate barriers that make it harder for parents to be in control of their children's education.
