Education reform advocate Erika Donalds, president of OptimaEd and Chair of Education Opportunity at the America First Policy Institute, joins Steve Lance, NTD Washington, D.C. bureau chief and host of Capitol Report, for an in-depth discussion on dismantling the U.S. Department of Education.
Speaking at a packed breakout session during AmericaFest, Donalds argued the federal agency has spent trillions without improving student outcomes and says education decisions should be returned to states, parents, and local communities. She also reflects on cultural shifts among young Americans and the importance of faith-based leadership moving forward.
