As President Trump\u00a0declared\u00a0in his remarks, \u201cWe\u2019re systematically ending every single one of these radical left betrayals, and we\u2019re putting the parents back in charge. They\u2019re the ones that love our children. They\u2019re the ones that should be in charge.\u201d President Trump and Secretary of Education Linda McMahon understand the fundamental truth that parents, not distant government bureaucrats, belong in the driver\u2019s seat of their children\u2019s education.
