Education Shmeducation: The Effects of Dismantling The Dept. of Education

from Beerocracy!® · host Emily Gross

To break it all down, I’m joined by Kevin Welner, Director of the National Education Policy Center, for a deep dive into the role of the DOE, its bipartisan origins, and the potential fallout if it were eliminated.
