Ramaswamy Critiques Low Reading Scores Among Students, Proposes Major Education Overhaul

In a striking assessment of the current state of education, DOGE leader Vivek Ramaswamy has labeled the reading proficiency scores of 8th graders as "downright brutal." He emphasized that the alarming decline in literacy rates represents a critical issue that demands immediate attention, likening it to a "five-alarm fire."

Ramaswamy's controversial solution to address this educational crisis is the elimination of the federal Education Department. He argues that the department has failed to effectively support students and improve educational outcomes. According to him, dismantling this bureaucratic entity would pave the way for more localized and innovative approaches to education, allowing states and communities to tailor their educational systems to better meet the needs of their students.

His remarks have ignited a debate about the role of federal oversight in education and whether radical changes are necessary to enhance literacy and overall academic performance among young learners. As the conversation unfolds, many are left questioning the implications of such a significant shift in educational policy.
