If we think we can’t eliminate the education department, perhaps we’re just not trying hard enough.
Step 1: Permanent hiring/promotion freeze for the Department of Education.
Step 2: Eliminate all frivolous expenditures for the Department of Education (travel, morale, etc.).
Step 3. Eliminate useless Department of Education jobs individually if they contribute insufficient value to justify their cost.
Step 4: Relocate the entire remaining department to northern Alaska (a beautiful state, but anathema to delicate leftists).
We could redirect it into educating our existing citizenry on the constitution. It’s not just current high schoolers who need to learn this.
I think we should provide a tax credit for taking courses on the constitution. Provide them over the internet and provide them in class room settings locally for those that don’t have internet.
