“Education is 'the guardian genius of our democracy.' Nothing really means more to our future, not our military defenses, not our missiles or our bombers, not our production economy, not even our democratic system of government.

“First, this law - the National Defense Education Act - ended years and years of debate about one controversial question: 'Shall the Federal Government, with all its massive resources, get directly involved in aiding American education?'

This law, in fact, helped make possible more than 50 new education laws passed in my administration.” WayYearsFirstsFactsGovernmentAmericaLawAnswersEducationSupportInvolvedResourcesDefenseDebateAdministrationErasLoudMassiveFederal GovernmentControversialNew EraNational DefenseAmerican EducationEducation In America Book:Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Lyndon B.
