The Trump administration just delivered on another massive campaign promise, with the Department of Education approving Iowa's groundbreaking waiver to wrest control of education away from Washington bureaucrats and return it to where it belongs – the states.

This marks the first major victory in President Trump's mission to dismantle the federal stranglehold on American education that has poisoned our children's minds with woke ideology for decades. Iowa stepped up as the first state brave enough to challenge the administrative state and take back local control.

McMahon's Department Delivers Results

Under the leadership of Education Secretary Linda McMahon, the department is finally working FOR parents and students instead of against them. This waiver represents exactly what patriots voted for in November – getting the federal government out of our classrooms and letting parents and local communities decide what's best for their kids.

"This is what winning looks like, folks. No more federal mandates. No more woke curriculum forced down our throats. Just common-sense education controlled by the people who actually care about these children – their parents and local communities."

For too long, the Education Department has been nothing more than an enforcement arm for radical left-wing policies. Remember the transgender bathroom mandates? The critical race theory pushing? The parent-silencing school board partnerships with the FBI? That era is OVER.

Other States Must Follow Iowa's Lead

Iowa's courage should inspire every red state governor to immediately apply for similar waivers. Why should bureaucrats in Washington D.C. have ANY say over what happens in classrooms in Texas, Florida, or Tennessee?

This is about more than education policy – it's about the fundamental principle that government closest to the people governs best. The Founding Fathers never intended for a massive federal bureaucracy to dictate local school curricula.

Patriots across America should be celebrating this victory while demanding their own governors follow Iowa's example. The swamp is finally being drained, one department at a time. Will your state be next to break free from federal control?

Proud of my state today! Our kids deserve better than one-size-fits-all education dictated from DC.

This is the 10th Amendment in action! Education was never supposed to be controlled by the federal government anyway.

FINALLY! This is exactly what we need - getting the federal bureaucrats out of our kids' education. Iowa is leading the way!

Couldn't agree more. Local control is the only way to fix this mess.

My kids are homeschooled, but I still celebrate this because it means my tax dollars might actually go toward meaningful education instead of federal waste. Hope other states follow Iowa's lead!

I serve on our local school board and we've been hamstrung by federal requirements for years. This gives me hope that we can actually make decisions based on what our community needs.

What exactly does this waiver cover? Does it include curriculum standards or just funding mechanisms? Would love to see the details.

From what I understand, it covers both assessment requirements and gives more flexibility on how federal funds are used. Big win either way!

As an educator for 15 years, I've seen firsthand how federal mandates have destroyed classroom autonomy. Teachers know their students better than Washington bureaucrats ever will.
