Basing her ideas on the economist Milton Friedman’s critique dating back 70 years that public schools were an illegitimate state-supported monopoly, the author of the Project 2025 chapter on education, Lindsey M Burke, director of the Center for Education Policy at the Heritage Foundation, calls for the abolition of the Department of Education. She also calls for the adoption nationwide of education savings accounts that, as is the case in Arizona, allow parents to enrol their children in private school and receive 90% of the funds that would otherwise have been assigned to the public school system.
