Voters don’t want bromides about federalism — they want to save their kids.

Some of their names will be all too familiar: Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Ken Buck (Colo.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.), and Matt Rosendale (Mont.).

His quote from Twitter: “From Wokeness to funding to bathrooms to Critical Race Theory, the federal government SHOULD NOT be involved in education," the GOP lawmaker tweeted. "I don't want to strengthen the federal Department of Education. I want to abolish it. I don't want Congress more involved in decisions that are best made in local school districts. I want the Congress less involved. Therefore, I voted against today's Republican bill to establish a federal 'Parents Bill of Rights.'"

I don’t disagree with him.

I don't disagree with that either. However, as it was pointed out in the linked article, a Federalist case for the vote means nothing. That ship sailed with the Department of Education Organization Act of 1979. If Congress wants to get the Federal government out of the education business - and they should - they need to start with that. Abolish the Dept. of Education just like he said he "wants to" do.
In the mean time, allow parents to see what is being taught in schools.
