Role of Government in Educational EqualityThe United States of America is identified as one of the most powerful countries in the world. Unlike many other countries, America is well known for its free educational services from primary to secondary school. Pulliam & Van (2013) mentioned that the creation of free public schools for all individuals was in the period before the War of 1812. This validated the struggle for education in America that began long ago, during or even before the national period which occurred from 1812. 1776 until 1850. Two of the main fighters for free education were Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Rush. Thomas Jefferson believed that free education should be provided to all citizens, but he opposed the idea of ​​federal school systems (Ornstein and Hunkins, 2013). Similarly, Benjamin Bush's main goal was to provide free education in all cities with more than 100 families in residence (Ornstein and Hunkins, 2013). He believed that education should be free at all levels, whether states, colleges or universities, and that in this way we could prepare future leaders of the world. Years after the creation of free public schools for all. The government had to ensure that all individuals benefited equally from everything the education system had to offer. Although the public school system has been operating for years in all 50 states, Americans are divided by many concerns and issues surrounding the education system (Pulliam and Van, 2013). A current issue is the use of standardized assessment for ranking, placement, and performance outcomes. Another public problem is the gap in school funds between rich and poor school districts (Pulliam & Van, 2013). Many states commit middle of paper ...... to equity of outcomes between schools. Pulliam and Van (2013) mentioned that an education bill that established national standards and testing was passed and then submitted to Congress, in January 2002 it became law. Additionally, many of our founding fathers attempted to promote a national education system, unfortunately, they did not succeed. They feared that if communities, private families, churches, and society had the final say in education, democracy would be unlikely to survive (Pulliam and Van, 2013). Education was not part of the constitution when it was created. Thus, the right to establish, maintain, and govern schools that exist under the Tenth Amendment defaulted to the states (Pulliam and Van, 2013). Even today, conflict persists over what is legally within the purview of local, state, and federal school boards..
