Education and the Role of Government ft. Margaret Spellings, John King, & Aimee Guidera
Description
In the evolving landscape of education, what is the role of the federal government? What impact will the Trump Administration's efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education have on students across the country? What does it mean to return power to the states?
