For those that don’t know, the reason the left will FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL to keep the Department of Education in business is because without it, they would be forced to fight for their agenda in 50 state capitals, rather than just in DC - much more costly for them and likely much less expensive.

Department of Indoctrination.

It should be referred to as the ‘DOI’.

We need to kill a lot of these alphabet organizations. DEA. EPA. IRS. DOE. Take your pick.

The department was small, ambitious and astonishingly short-lived. Congress abolished it and demoted its reformist chief just a year later.

Ah. That was when Congress understood their powers and used them the way they were intended.

As a check on a president doing something he shouldn't.

In 2010, Barack Obama called for fixing the public education system by giving us the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and “Race to the Top,”

which he said would fix the education system already fixed by the 2001 GW Bush and Ted Kennedy legislation called “No Child Left Behind,”

which was supposed to fix a system supposedly already fixed by a 1994 piece of federal legislation called “Goals 2000,”

which was supposed to fix a system already fixed by “America 2000,”

which was a 1991 response during the Bush administration to a 1983 federal report on education called “A Nation at Risk,

which was published a full four years after Jimmy Carter first fixed the nation’s public school system by establishing a cabinet-level Department of Education in 1979.

Abolishing the Dept. of Educ. is as simple as acknowledging that there is no constitutional basis for the federal government to be involved in educational matters.

I remember when it was HEW Health, Education, Welfare. The "new" education dept started out at $10 billion dept! The former HEW did not have their budget lowered by $10 billion! Annual budget‎: ‎US$32 billion (2009) obama's FY 2015 budget request for $69 billion Are the kids $37 billion smarter now then the kids from 2009?
