Shanker asserts that such a Department would not really help; rather he argues that it will create too much governmental intrusion into educational administration, a matter which had been decided by individual states, localities, universities, and school systems. Additionally he states that the programs of the current Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) are so interrelated that splitting them would have negative consequences. <span class='read-more'><a href="https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3752" target="_blank"><strong>&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</strong></a></span></p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3752#comments American Federation of Teachers Shanker, Albert United States.
