Congressman Michael Cloud, representing Texas’ 27th district since 2018, has been vocal about his stance on educational reform and government policies through a series of tweets. His comments reflect a push for legislative changes and restructuring in the education sector.

On March 19, 2025, Congressman Cloud expressed his support for the DISMANTLE DEI Act. He stated, "And that’s exactly what the American people demand of their government. Congress should pass the DISMANTLE DEI Act to make it the law of the land."

Continuing his critique of current educational structures on March 20, 2025, he criticized the Department of Education. He tweeted, "The status-quo of failing schools is unacceptable. The 'Department of Education' has turned into a bloated bureaucracy, more focused on politics than preparing our kids for success. It’s time to put parents and teachers back in charge of education."

Later that day, he further elaborated on his views regarding federal involvement in education by stating that significant changes are necessary for improving America's educational standing globally. He wrote, "The Department of Education has failed to actually educate our children for decades—instead pushing CRT and allowing boys in girls' bathrooms. Dismantling this bureaucracy and returning power to states and parents is crucial to make America the best in world in education again."
