Like always, Republicans are having it both ways. But can anyone explain why American History and Economic Education are targets of a little defunding, not to mention Mathematics and Science.....?
EdWeek: The $175 million Mathematics and Science Partnerships program at the U.S. Department of Education is among the casualties in a draft budget bill released today by the House Appropriations Committee.
Other curriculum-related programs targeted for elimination in the Republican plan for fiscal 2012, which begins Oct. 1, include:
• Arts in Education, $27 million;
• Foreign Language Assistance, $27 million;
• Teaching American History grants, $47 million;
• Excellence in Economic Education, $1.4 million; and
• Civic Education, $1.2 million.
