Three Model Bills to Reform Education Licensure
The following press release was issued by the National Association of Scholars
as part of a joint project.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, NY; October 12, 2022 – The National Association of Scholars,
California Policy Center, Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, Goldwater
Institute, The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, the John Locke
Foundation, the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, The Palm Beach Freedom
Institute, and the Washington Policy Center are jointly releasing the Model
Education Licensure Code (
https://cplaction.com/index.php?page=acymailing_front&ctrl=fronturl&task=click&urlid=176&userid=3072&mailid=99&noheader=1 ).
The Model Education Licensure Code provides three model bills state policymakers
can use to reform education schools and the education licensure process—the
Education Licensure Nondiscrimination Act (
https://cplaction.com/index.php?page=acymailing_front&ctrl=fronturl&task=click&urlid=177&userid=3072&mailid=99&noheader=1 ), the Education Licensure Review Act ( https://cplaction.com/index.php?page=acymailing_front&ctrl=fronturl&task=click&urlid=178&userid=3072&mailid=99&noheader=1 ), and the Education Licensure Certificate Act ( https://cplaction.com/index.php?page=acymailing_front&ctrl=fronturl&task=click&urlid=179&userid=3072&mailid=99&noheader=1 ).
Education reformers must include education schools and education licensure in
their reform agenda,” stated David Randall, National Association of Scholars
Director of Research. “Radical activists use education schools and licensure
requirements as their central means to gain power over America’s classrooms.”
Education reformers must include education schools and education licensure in
their reform agenda,” stated David Randall, National Association of Scholars
Director of Research. “Radical activists use education schools and licensure
requirements as their central means to gain power over America’s classrooms.”
Activists long ago seized control of education schools and began to insert ever
more radical ideology and pedagogy into teacher training. The radicalized
education schools propagandize teachers and screen out would-be teachers who
refuse to acquiesce to the schools’ political demands.
“The radical activists also use education licensure requirements to force
teachers and education administrators to receive degrees from education
schools,” said Brandon Dutcher, Senior Vice President of the Oklahoma Council of
Public Affairs.
This requirement ensures that our schools’ education administrators and teachers
are committed to an ideology not shared by many Americans. More recently, states
such as Illinois (

The body of teachers indoctrinated by politicized education schools and licensure requirements sabotage education reform laws wherever they can.
“Education reform cannot succeed so long as the radical education establishment
controls the education of our teachers,” added Martin Center President Jenna
Robinson. “Policymakers in each state should adapt these model bills to forward
education reform most effectively.”
The three model bills work together to eliminate the radical establishment’s
power to select America’s teachers.
* The Education Licensure Nondiscrimination Act forbids a broad range of the
different means that activists use to politicize the education of our teachers.
* The Education Licensure Review Act gives state policymakers the power to veto
politicized licensure requirements imposed by state education department
bureaucrats.
* The Education Licensure Certificate Act, building on initial work done by
states such as Arizona (
https://cplaction.com/index.php?page=acymailing_front&ctrl=fronturl&task=click&urlid=182&userid=3072&mailid=99&noheader=1 ), establishes a standard path toward licensure that bypasses requirements for an undergraduate degree and minimizes education-school requirements.
“These three reforms make it possible for a new generation of liberty-minded
teachers to enter the classroom,” said Dr. Terry Stoops, the Director of the
Center for Effective Education at the John Locke Foundation.“This new generation
will support education reform policy with a good heart.
