    Why does congress think it has any responsibility to mandate or control education in these United States? We already have an entire Department of Education, another three-letter organization that has no added value.

    PRINCIPLE: AGAINST
    Adds to already bloated government

    This bill really doesn’t do anything, but America desperately needs to catch up to the rest of the world in STEM. Even if it costs us more money, I think it’s important enough to spend on it.

    As an engineer myself, I’m embarrassed when I see the U.S. consistently fall short of Europe, China, and India in engineering endeavors.

    Wouldn’t that fall on the shoulders of the students and those educators that teach them? Just sayin…this bs bill doesn’t address the right issue..
