How did it ever get to the Federal Level to start with?? Every state did their own thing and it worked.

Fire the bureaucrats in Washington DC.
Send the federal funding of the Dept to the 50 states as block grants earmarked exclusively for School Choice. Help parents get their kids out of government schools and away from government indoctrination.

“David Randall - David Randall is Director of Communications at the National Association of Scholars.”

An association calling themselves the above is already FULL OF THEMSELVES.

No one said anything about killing.

But since this numbskull brings it up

The DEA has been killing brain cells of the children they claim to serve

I know genius kids of friends of mine who are struggling with common core math

I question whether it is in place primarily to destroy logical thinking, the enemy of the governing class

If kids don’t learn to write cursive they lose touch with their creative side.

Children are taught to read by character sight, as if English language is Chinese

It stifles their reading

High school kids are encouraged (non spoken rule) to use AI for their homework to get the good grades teachers need to keep their jobs

Parents have completely abdicated their role in education their children to these completely corrupt idiots

Kind of surprised to see this. The James G. Martin Center is (usually) pretty conservative.

“ED remains immensely popular”

Not with me!

Yes.... let DOGE take over the building. The fact that the US ranks 40th in results yet #1 at per student spending is more than enough reason to totally dismantle this useless department.

It will take an act of Congress to get rid of DoE since it created it. Trump has only 2 years before the democrats take over the HOR again.

At the same time, ED remains immensely popular with the American public for its core higher-education spending: Pell Grants for disadvantaged college students and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans for just about every college student who applies for one.

NO. every government dollar goes straight to building the woke, bloated, educrat bureaucracy and political bloc.

Having it laundered through students multiplies the evil - it puts young people in unescapable debt.

Remove the printed government money and tuition prices will decline.

American kids were a hell of a lot smarter when we didn’t have a bunch of union thugs running their education.

Education reformers should make an exception for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). America has historic relationships to HBCUs, American Indian tribes, Alaska Native entities, and Hawaiian Native entities.

I thought we were against any form of discrimination. Let these cultures compete with everyone else. If you feel these groups deserve more support, open up your wallet and support them, but don't push that support back onto the US taxpayer.

This strategy will make ED transparent and accountable to the public and to policymakers.

Why isn't that being done now?

So, the Department of “Education” is just another DEI sham? No wonder American kids are the dumbest on the planet.

It can exist in name only. Fire the people and don’t spend the money. There’s nothing that declares that the money must be spent. Congress only approves the creation of a department and a budget for it to use. The Executive Branch does the actual spending...and can decide not to.

Federal statutes require the United States Department of Education (ED) to fund race discrimination at postsecondary institutions through laws such as § 1059e. Predominantly Black Institutions, § 1059g. Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions, and §§ 1101 – 1101d. Hispanic-Serving Institutions.

Federal laws are subject to the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land and must "be made in pursuance" of the Constitution (U.S. Constitution, Art. VI, Cl. 2).

These federal statutes are NOT in pursuance of the Constitution which delegates no enumerated powers of this type of education to the federal gov't.

Therefore, these statues must be made null and void and the unconstitutional Dept of Education must ne dismantled.
