Alexander Says Education Secretary Arne Duncan Has A Big Heart

  • Friday, October 2, 2015

Senate education committee Chairman Lamar Alexander Friday made the following statement on the announcement that Education Secretary Arne Duncan will step down in December: 

“Arne Duncan was one of the President’s best appointments. He has a big heart, cares about children, and I have enjoyed working with him. When we disagree, it is usually because he believes the path to effective teaching, higher standards, and real accountability is through Washington, DC, and I believe it should be in the hands of states, communities, parents and classroom teachers.”
