| Frank Breslin, retired teacher of foreign languages and history, calls for Congressional hearings about the cost and misuse of testing. He points out that test scores are used to close public schools, fire teachers, and privatize schools, even though charters do not get better results than public schools.

Breslin concludes that the best way to end federal intrusion is to abolish the Department of Education. It is now clear to tens of thousands of parents across America that their children are being victimized by mandated standardized testing. Outraged by the effrontery of this illegal intrusion by the federal government into the classroom and Washington's dismissal of their parental rights, they have opted out of having their children tested. |
