And the way in which it's been...

operationalized over the years is through the Johnson administration.

They gave us money to actually ensure that poor kids could have a level playing field.

The Bush administration decided to make it more punitive with no child left behind and say there has to be assessments to assess that.

And the Obama administration did a little bit of both.

And the Biden administration, you know, went back to trying to give us money.

to try to make sure that the civil rights aspects, like so, for example, that kids who have disabilities need to not be in the shadows, but need to actually have a decent education.

And that may mean if a kid has a physical disability,

that is a school system making sure that the kid has access to school.

You can't put a kid who has a physical disability on the third floor of a building if there's no elevator and you can't get up the stairs if the kid is in a wheelchair.

I mean, so when we're talking about the federal role,

The federal role has always been limited.

It's about funding.

It's about civil rights.

And so when somebody says, well, can we go back?

Look, what did Linda McMahon and Donald Trump do?

They want to get rid of the Department of Education.

You want to make it more efficient?

Of course, everybody...

Government should be more efficient.
