Judy Hickey is concerned about her great-grandchildren. She's seen how federal bureaucrats have taken over our education system, and she's worried about what her great-grandchildren are being taught in school.
"I'm here on behalf of my great-grandchildren. I am becoming concerned about what kind of country they're going to be living in," she told a Nebraska legislative committee.
The problem, she explained, is not that we don't spend enough money on education. The problem is that Washington has "usurped education from the states."
"The federal mandates for even the youngest grades are appalling," she said. "The Midwest is not immune to the current directives such as critical race theory. Our children are not taught about America as a land of opportunity, freedom, or futures we all have access to."
"The problem is a massive federal bureaucracy that spends money and makes demands on states and local school districts. We have to do something about it before it's too late."
The solution, as Judy explains, is a Convention of States.
Nowhere in the Constitution did the Founders give the federal government control over education. But the Supreme Court has granted Washington that power via bad interpretations of our founding document.
If we want to reverse those interpretations, we need to ratify constitutional amendments clarifying the Founders' original intent. Congress will never pass such amendments, but we can do it with a Convention of States.
Called and controlled by the states, a Convention of States has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can limit federal power and jurisdiction and return the vast majority of decision-making authority to state and local governments.
That way, We the People will have a real influence in how our government operates, how our money is spent, and how our kids are educated.
