Shadegg on education

I don't know much about Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) except that he lost a bid to replace Tom DeLay as House Majority Leader, but this quote on the federal government's role in education tells me he's my kind of politician:

"I personally believe there is no place in the federal government for a Department of Education. It is not in the Constitution. There is no mention anywhere in the Constitution that the federal government has any role in education. I believe that the federal government doesn't have a role in education. I have several members of my family, including my wife, who are teachers, who are not at all happy with the so-called No Child Left Behind bill, which I think has gone far astray from what it was even intended to do. And I would like to hope that at some point we could get the federal government out of the business of education altogether, and acknowledge that this is policy that should be decided at the state level."
