Extractions: OF TEXAS [Page: E858] Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce legislation to forbid the use of federal funds to develop or implement a national system of teacher certification or a national teacher test. My bill also forbids the Department of Education from denying funds to any state or local education agency because that state or local educational agency has refused to adopt a federally-approved method of teacher certification or testing. This legislation in no way interferes with a state's ability to use federal funds to support their chosen method of teacher certification or testing. Having failed to implement a national curriculum through the front door with national student testing (thanks to the efforts of members of the Education Committee under the leadership of Chairman Goodling ), the administration is now trying to implement a national curriculum through the backdoor with national teacher testing and certification. National teacher certification will allow the federal government to determine what would-be teachers need to know in order to practice their chosen profession. Teacher education will revolve around preparing teachers to pass the national test or to receive a national certificate. New teachers will then base their lesson plans on what they needed to know in order to receive their Education Department-approved teaching certificate. Therefore, I call on those of my colleagues who oppose a national curriculum to join me in opposing national teacher testing and certification with the same vigor with which you opposed national student testing.

Resources The West Virginia Zero Tolerance Campaign On March 11, 1995, the state legislature in West Virginia passed the West Virginia Productive and Safe Schools Act. This was the culmination of a year-long effort by the West Virginia Federation of Teachers. It is a great example of how a state federation, with support from its local unions and members, can work with community groups, school boards, politicians and other public officials to bring higher standards of conduct to public schools. About the legislation The West Virginia Productive and Safe Schools Act was originally drafted by the West Virginia Federation of Teachers. The law gives teachers and other school employees the legal right to immediately exclude students for: disorderly conduct; threatening, abusing or intimidating a teacher or student; disobeying a school employee; interfering with the educational process; or
