Excerpt from Question and Answer session following speech to school
and community, Oyster River HS, Durham, NH. Feb 3, 1996

Question from student:
 What's your views on education?

Answer:
 The question concerns education. I believe that that the key to
reforming education in America is getting it back as close to the
parents as possible. And that means I think that in many of our
districts in America, to get education back on track again, we do
need genuine parental control, through school choice, vouchers,
charter schools, in the light. 
 [applause] 
 And it means it means the busting up the Education department,
it means busting up the monopoly the National Education Association
holdson too many districts in America. 
 [applause] 
 It also means that one of the first things I'll do as president is
scrap Goals 2000.   All you all you have to do is look at their
recommendations on American history, they're an atrocity, it's as
if they took everyone who had something against America, every
enemy asked them to write American history. That's got to go, it's
got to get down to the parental level.
