This week on Freedom to Learn, @KirstenBaesler, Assistant Secretary for the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for @usedgov, addresses the myth that closing the Education Department strips funding for students and emphasizes how the administration's interagency agreements increase efficiency.

[Defense of Freedom Institute @DFIPolicy]

Right on.

In May, DFI urged the Treasury Department to prioritize rulemaking for the Education Freedom Tax Credit, fought to reduce tuition for graduate programs, and defended religious higher education programs.

The Department of Education doesn’t teach a single kid. @AngelaLMorabito explains how student enrollment is down, bureaucracy is up, and parents are tired of paying for a system that keeps expanding while results keep getting worse. Good thing the Department of Education has already been cut in half!

DFI filed complaints with @usedgov over Maryland policies directing teachers and staff to keep parents in the dark about their children’s "gender transitions" while at school. @AngelaLMorabito shares more on @WCBM680.

[Defense of Freedom Institute @DFIPolicy]

A Kansas school district will stop allowing boys in girls' sports and allowing teachers to hide students' gender transitions from parents. DFI and @slf_liberty sparked this change with a formal complaint that led @usedgov to investigate.

[Defense of Freedom Institute @DFIPolicy]

The "reading recession" didn't have to happen, @AngelaLMorabito tells @KatrinaSzish. Falling scores are "proof positive" that the Department of Education is a "failed experiment."

WATCH: Arizona's Glendale Community College used AI to read graduates’ names at its 2026 commencement ceremony. The technology malfunctioned, skipping many students' names and robbing them of a milestone moment.

[Defense of Freedom Institute @DFIPolicy]

Teacher unions have lobbied against accountability measures for public schools because they cannot defend their terrible outcomes. @AngelaLMorabito shares more on @Newsmax.
