The NEA Stonewall

From the Academy

Obedient to the most powerful political lobby in the land. President Carter and Congress have established the Department of Education, a vast, costly bureaucratic boondoggle well calculated to lower the quality of learning in these United States. Newspapers throughout the country, hundreds of them, have condemned in their editorials this baneful empire-building of the educationists; and conspicuous among those opposing papers are the New York Times and the Washington Post, publications never in the past suspected of a niggardly attitude toward the activities of the Federal Government.
