Sen. Mike Rounds introduces bill to eliminate US Department of Education

If it comes from Rounds it’s a Trojan horse bill.
It looks good but it’s filled with danger

Thank you for referencing that article DFG.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Respectfully to Sen. Mike Rounds, even if Senate voted not to eliminate unconstitutional (imo) US Department of Education, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes.

This is evidenced by the following excerpts from the writings of Thomas Jefferson, Supreme Court justices, and other respected constitutional experts.

For example, President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also Justice Joseph Story, had indicated that the states have never expressly constitutional given the federal government the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate schooling.

"The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, federal taxes used for intrastate schooling are a good example of corrupt Congress's abuse (imo) of its repealable (hint) 16th Amendment-based (direct taxes) taxing and vote-buying spending imo.

"16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
(Again) "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Because of staggered Senate electionrepealablen cycles in conjunction with repealable (hint), ill-conceived 17th Amendment (popular voting for federal senators), we're going to have to put up with deep state influence for a few more elections imo.

Its a stone cold mistake to do this before they have the DOE order every school in the nation—including all the schools in the blue states— to rescind their woke policies.

Otherwise we’ll permanently get two different cultures—and the grounds for an eventual crack up of the country.

<>I never understood why it existed.<>

Jimmy Carter rewarded teachers union support in his 1976 campaign with a federal department all their own.

It is that simple.

Are any of those 25 so called important programs authorized by the Constitution? Nope.

destroy it and salt the ground to eliminate the communist indoctrination.

The more they got, the worse education got. The federal government has no business in any way shape or form in education. It needs to be deleted and no federal funding ever for schools or school loans.

Sounds like the LOBBYISTS wrote this legislation for him.

Don’t all bills “expire” at the end of the session? Why would they do this now when it has zero chances of passing?

Throw in the DOJ and FBI while you’re at it.

Defund the DoE and give the money back to the TAXPAYERS! Not to other agencies ya MORONS!

Bump!!!
