The Dept. of Education was Carter’s gift to us.

From wikipedia: United States Department of Education
For the earlier incarnation with the same name, established in 1867, see National Bureau of Education.

A few years prior to Carter. Just for the record, I don’t think government at any level should be involved in education.

And I, much like God, (I suspect) have forgiven Newt for all of his sins. It has not been easy.

Was Newt not in Congress when Carter was president?

On Sep 27, 1979 The U.S. House voted 215-201 to establish the Department of Education as a cabinet-level department. Only 29 RINOs voted "Aye". Had just 8 of those Republicans voted it down, it would have failed.

Rep. Newton Gingrich (R-GA-6) was one of those 29 RINOs - voting AYE to rubber stamp Jimmy Carter's Department of Education.

Newt Gingrich was a big government RINO then. He is a one-world government RINO now. He is a liar and a fraud. But he sure is one smooth talker. Didn't America just elect one of those in 2008?
