The DOE would be a good start. Dept of labor, HUD, and a few others should be disbanded immediately
But the bigger point to make is that the Education Department has absolutely nothing to do with education. They are merely a bank, chartered to move public taxpayer funds into the hands of educational bureaucrats claiming to meet certain basic requirements which do not require any educational achievement or results. Stuff like gender neutral bathrooms, number of actual enrolled students vs. those claimed, handicapped access, etc.....
It’s a start, but more needs to be done. All public sector unions, including teacher unions, need to be outlawed. All education regulations at the federal level need to be eliminated. All tax dollars spent on school children need to be eliminated regardless of federal agency, e.g., school lunches.
Each state has it’s own education department. We don’t need federal oversight. Enforce the 10th amendment.
Watch the deep state Rinos do everything they can to thwart him on this.
Go Trump Go!!
Nobody (not even liberals) can truthfully say that K-12 education is better today than it was 50 years ago. The Department of Education is a total, complete, abject failure, and should be eliminated forthwith.
100% sot on, blackdog. I’ve thought for years DOE should be disbanded. This should be the province of towns, cities, and states.
Most of FedZilla is a is a total, complete, abject failure, and should be eliminated forthwith.
Trump has a lot of dumb ideas.
This isn’t one of them.
See your mail in a minute.
IIRC Federal government employee unions are allowed only by
EO, which any president or congress can retract.
Has public education improved since Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education?
I think it’s worth having discussions, about whether certain bureaucracies are really needed, and/or, are they doing the job they were set up to do.
It is stunning news ,,to learn that in Baltimore , a number of schools have zero students achieving a grade level.
There will always be some students who are lagging behind grade level, but, an entire school has zero students achieving at grade level?
Wouldn’t make a difference. Crappy grades are all local results. The problem is at the local level and let’s be real...it’s all about Unions and tenure.
It used to be that each state ran their schools without any aid or orders from DC. The feds used to give money for gifted student programs, but that was about it.
The Department of Education was a spin off from the Health, Education and Welfare Department which began in 1953 under Eisenhower.
The Education Department is simply a base for a bunch of nice paying jobs.
You are absolutely right. They’re the money managers and will receive $50 billion this year.....to distribute.
Yes, federal student aid (federal grants and loans) could easily be administered by the Treasury Dept, for example. Same with VA loans. They could be also administered by Treasury (which houses the IRS).
