In a recent discussion, former Education Secretary Bill Bennett expressed strong agreement with President Donald Trump's remarks regarding the need for reform in the Department of Education. Bennett highlighted the importance of addressing excessive expenditures in the education system, suggesting that a thorough examination of how funds are allocated is crucial.
