Resolution 1025, introduced by Representatives Hilbert and Pugh, expresses support for the elimination of the United States Department of Education and calls on Congress to cooperate with this initiative. The resolution argues that education is not a federal responsibility as per the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and it criticizes the Department of Education for contributing to federal overreach through regulations that do not cater to the unique needs of states. Despite significant increases in education funding in Oklahoma, the resolution highlights alarming student performance outcomes, with only about 25% of students meeting grade-level proficiency in reading and mathematics.

The resolution further emphasizes that Oklahoma's educational challenges are systemic and not isolated, suggesting that local control and innovative policies are essential for improvement. It points to a national trend of stagnant and declining student performance in reading, particularly since 2019, and argues that states and local communities are better equipped to address their educational needs. Citing President Trump's support for the elimination of the Department of Education, the resolution concludes that such a move would align with constitutional principles and potentially lead to more effective use of taxpayer dollars and improved educational outcomes.
