The Institute for Education Reform Supports H.R. 899, Aiming to Abolish the Federal Department of Education
Following a significant move towards localized control over education, the Institute for Education Reform has announced its support for H.R. 899, a bill reintroduced by Representative Thomas Massie seeking to abolish the Federal Department of Education.
The bill, which proposes that the Department of Education should terminate by December 31, 2023, aligns with The Insitute for Education Reform’s belief in the importance of local decision-making in education. We maintain that states and local communities are best positioned to shape curricula that meet the needs of their students.
“We believe in an education system that respects local autonomy while ensuring high standards of education for all children,” said a spokesperson for the bill. “H.R. 899 represents a significant step towards achieving this goal.”
The proposed legislation has drawn support from various quarters, including several co-sponsors in Congress. Reform Education believes this bill is a necessary step towards reducing the size and cost of big government, echoing former President Ronald Reagan’s sentiments about eliminating unneeded agencies.
We invite you to join us as we continue to champion for an education system that prioritizes the interests of students, fosters accountability in schools, and upholds the right of parents to choose the most appropriate educational opportunities for their children.

IER Dedicates Efforts to Ending the Attacks by Government Teacher Unions against Teachers, Parents and Families
Government unions should not exist. Public service should focus on serving the public good and those that enter it should be in the business of serving. Government jobs were never meant to hold the public – its families, children, and society hostage.
At Institute for Education Reform, we dedicate our efforts to once again put every child, parent, and American first in the mission of public service and not let them be forgotten. Americans should get an accountable and manageable government workforce, not one that teaches kids how to hate themselves while bankrupting our government to ensure they are never fired for bad work.
Our President, Matt Buckham, recently handled personnel for President Donald Trump where he oversaw cabinet level departments, including Department of Labor, and other independent agencies. In this role, Matt pushed to place leaders throughout government and coordinate the recapture of Executive Branch agencies that were under career and opposition control. Matt was one of the first staffers for the House Freedom Caucus, helping them navigate their first year as a group. Matt has served on Capitol Hill for over 11 years in various 501c3, government, and Executive Branch roles. He is a follower of Jesus Christ called to bring freedom to the captives.

The institute strives for the outright banning of all public sector employee collective bargaining and thus the ensuing collection of compulsory dues that warp the fabric of government by shutting out taxpayers from decision-making.
