However did we survive before the DOE was created in 1980? We must have been a nation of knuckle dragging, ignorant dullards.
The Department f Education was created by Jimmy Carter as a sop to the Teacher’s Union for their support.
I made it through my school days just fine(& probably much better than average)without the DEA. The federal gov’t. has no business messing with education. This is not to say that it would be the only gov’t. agency that needs to be abolished.
