In the face of the federal government’s unprecedented growth, DFI is dedicated to solving problems in education, workforce, labor, and employment policy in a way that enhances freedom, preserves liberty, and empowers families and communities. We know that these issues overlap and demand thoughtful, coordinated solutions and oversight.

Civil and Constitutional Rights

America is facing a historical moment, when many are pushing for policies that violate core constitutional and civil rights essential to a free society. DFI exists to defend the Constitution and the rule of law and protect civil liberties at school and work.

Postsecondary Education

DFI works to nurture a vision for long-term higher education reform that reduces the federal role in financing postsecondary education, protects taxpayers, and meet the demand for alternatives to four-year degrees.

K-12 Education

Our nation’s one-size-fits all K-12 education system is failing far too many students and must be radically transformed to ensure all Americans have the freedom to choose the education that is best for them.

Oversight and Accountability

Government transparency and accountability are central to a strong republic. DFI is committed to robust oversight of the federal agencies responsible for education, workforce, labor, and employment policy.
