She’s right...we don’t need the Dept of Education.
Reagan promised to abolish this Carter-era monstrosity and failed too.
To aid in the money laundering through unions to the DNC.
It’s all about money. We give the Feds money. Some will come back to us for Education. Of course states are getting ripped off...but that’s the way it works....just another Federal kitty.
Education, Energy, and EPA are the three agencies I want to see abolished first.
Or a Department of Energy.
Wow...she is going to now fight for and carry the mandate in the general election (if she wins the nomination for GOP) for abolishing the Education Department? Good luck to her.
If anyone, Perry can pull something like that off given his proven “states rights” approach and strong 10th amendment credentials. Bachmmann? Reall?
Hoo boy, all the entrenched interests that would need to be unearthed and cast aside for this to happen.
Not that there would be anything WRONG with that....
we don’t
Anyone who can say what they do with all that money and all those people wins the prize!
I ask the same question. Especially when you consider that the public schools were a heck of a lot better before the Dept. of Education than they are now. The Dept. of Education is a joke and our kids’ education is suffering because of it. It’s time to get rid of it and get back to “old school”.
Will Congress follow along, is the question. She can’t zap the agency on her lonesome. As much as it deserves zapping.
Dept. of Education HURTS students.
Responsibility must be at the lowest level of Gov’t - the community, and parents. With the Feds greater and greater role, everyone kicks responsibility further up the chain, while looking farther and farther to DC for money.
The DOE seems to wish the worst of all academic worlds down upon the states.
My 6th grade son asked asked me why we needed to do away with the Dept. of Education.
I told him that the farther away from the classroom the decision-makers are, the worse it gets for the students.
Follow da money.........
RE: Anyone who can say what they do with all that money and all those people wins the prize!
They take the money from the states via Federal Tax dollars, and REDISTRIBUTE them via grants back to the states based on where they see there is the most need.
Do I win the prize?
RE: Dept. of Education HURTS students.
Can anyone tell me how America’s educational system as a whole fared BEFORE and AFTER the Dept. of Education was formed?
