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.
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.
Trump has a lot of dumb ideas.
This isn’t one of them.
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.
We ought to compare how the average American student was doing in academic proficiency Before we had an operating Department of Education ( circa 1980 ).
I suspect our kids did much better before the DOE was established and progressively got worse ever since.
The abolition of permissive parenting and school discipline would do even more good.
Remember to say how much you love St. Carter of the Commies for the Department of Education and shutting down Verona.
Minneapolis, Minnesota is another with failing scores.
Go for it Mr President !!!
“Sir” (he likes telling stories about people calling him sir)
“Sir” after you disband the DOE, would you kindly swing your axe and knock off the EPA, BATF, NEA, NPR, & PBS?
We’re actually pretty broke, and could save a lot of money in these areas. Thank you Sir!
Alas, we have heard that promise before and nothing came of it. it was like repealing Obamacare.
