In a recent interview with Fox News, Ramaswamy emphasized the importance of education in the United States and criticized the influence of the Department of Education.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy believes that education plays a central role in reviving national pride, a goal he is passionate about. As the first millennial ever to run for the GOP nomination, he feels a responsibility to take action.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I think there are some basic steps we can take &#8230; to revive national pride, especially in that next generation of Americans,&#8221; Ramaswamy said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As the first millennial ever to run for the GOP nomination, I think that&#8217;s my responsibility,&#8221; he added. &#8220;One of the things that I think we should require is that every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-reasons-making-taxpayers-pay-off-student-loans-is-a-rotten-idea\/\" title=\"5 Reasons Making Taxpayers Pay Off Student Loans Is A Rotten Idea\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/despite-insistence-by-democrat-politicians-and-medical-elites-empirical-evidence-does-not-conclusively-show-that-masks-reduce-the-spread-of-covid\/\" title=\"Despite Insistence by Democrat Politicians and Medical Elites, Empirical Evidence DOES NOT Conclusively Show that Masks Reduce the Spread of COVID\">high school<\/a> senior<\/a> who graduates from high school should be required to pass the same civics test required of every immigrant who becomes a naturalized citizen in this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When questioned about the potential consequences of abolishing the Department of Education, Ramaswamy acknowledged the complexity of the issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re right that the problem is pervasive, and there is no silver bullet,&#8221; Ramaswamy said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s a role for everyone to play,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s just that I&#8217;m running for U.S. president; I&#8217;ll tell you what the U.S. president can do that&#8217;s most effective: shut down the Department of Education that uses that money as a cudgel to get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/five-cities-where-teachers-unions-are-keeping-schools-shutdown\/\" title=\"Five Cities Where Teachers Unions Are Keeping Schools Shutdown\">local school districts<\/a> to adopt toxic and racial agendas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead, give that money back to those schools to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vivek-ramaswamy-renews-call-to-abolish-department-of-education-and-pledges-to-overhaul-education-system\/\" title=\"Vivek Ramaswamy urges end to Education Department, vows education system revamp.\">fund underfunded school choice programs<\/a> in those states,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ramaswamy also expressed concern about the lack of civics education in the U.S., linking it to the rise of authoritarianism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Young people no longer learn the rights that they even have in this country,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Most young people couldn&#8217;t really enumerate what they have in the Bill of Rights now. Then when you take those rights away, they don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;ve lost. So this is actually part of the path not just to a country that&#8217;s no longer proud; it&#8217;s the path to an authoritarian state. Because what does an authoritarian state require? It requires the population that didn&#8217;t know the rights that they actually enjoy. That&#8217;s what history teaches us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To read more about Vivek Ramaswamy&#8217;s views on education and other topics, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click here<\/a> to visit The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy reiterated his stance on eliminating the Department of Education and pledged to revamp the American education system if elected.
