NEED bill introduced
Would you like to sing along: "Hi ho, hi ho...it's off to chase a squirrel we go...?"
In the US House of Representatives on 4 December 2025, Representative Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon, joined by Representative Brian K. Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, proposed legislation to promote research about “breakthrough” approaches, models, and assessments in education. The bill, which is referred to as the “New Essential Education Discoveries Act,” would modify the structure of the Institute for Education Sciences—an organization that shrank substantially in 2025 during the frenzy of “downsizing” and eliminating “fraud” related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
