Clancy, David S.; Sentance, Michael – Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research, 2020
The states and localities, not the federal government, primarily control and fund K-12 education.

Boushey, Heather – Future of Children, 2011
The foundations of the major federal policies that govern today's workplace were put in place during the 1930s, when most families had a stay-at-home caregiver who could tend to the needs of children, the aged, and the sick. Seven decades later, many of the nation's workplace policies are in need of major updates to reflect the realities of the…

The Americans with Disabilities Act…
