Karoline Leavitt Levels Critics of Trump’s Education Plan [WATCH]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back on criticism of President Donald Trump’s education agenda during a press encounter this week, pointing to decades of federal spending through the Department of Education that she says have yielded poor results for American students.

When asked by a reporter, “Karoline, what do you say to critics of the President’s education plan?” Leavitt responded by questioning the long-term effectiveness of the federal education system.

“Where was there criticism of our nation’s failing test scores for the last several decades,” Leavitt said.

“The Department of Education was founded in the 1970s and since then, we have spent more than $3 trillion at this federal bureaucracy, what has been the return on that investment for the American taxpayer, levels that are less than ideal, less than proficient.”

Leavitt cited student achievement data as further evidence of failure at the federal level.

“Our children’s test scores are incredibly concerning when it comes to reading rates, literacy rates, math and science test scores,” she said.

“The numbers prove that.”
