We need real answers from the US Department of Education!
Gregory Smith, Director, FOIA Service Center
Integrity in Education recently launched an investigative campaign focused on the US Department of Education. Recognizing how many top staffers have direct ties to corporate front groups, we want to understand the full extent of corporate influence over the education policies stifling students and teachers nationwide.
We've made a big request, for important reasons. This administration has made a dramatic shift in the federal role in education policy; some initiatives have caused observers to wonder whether they are even legal or constitutional.
But last week, the US Department of Education notified us that they rejected our request for a fee waiver. They claim that we haven't demonstrated that there is sufficient public interest in the information that we're seeking, effectively sticking us with the bill for the Department’s lack of transparency. They know this fee could be prohibitive, but we won’t let them scare us off from finding out the truth. We’re going to appeal, but we need your help.
Please sign today to let them know that you are interested in the truth about what's going on at the US Department of Education!
