Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, appointments of President-elect Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, gave their approval to a proposal that abolishes the Department of Education.
Corey DeAngelis, who is a senior fellow at the American Culture Project, posted on X that the Department of Education failed an audit for the third year in a row.
"Abolish it," DeAngelis, a prominent school choice advocate, wrote.
"Very reasonable proposal." Ramaswamy responded.
"Yes," Musk, the owner of Tesla, added.
The Department of Government Efficiency, also called DOGE, is aimed at suggesting ways to dismantle government bureaucracy and restructure federal agencies in order to save costs and improve efficiency. DOGE is not an official government agency and it remains unclear of how the department will be structured and carry out its mission.
DeAngelis posted a report authored by Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., in which she slammed the education department for failing their latest audit.
"Just in case we needed more proof that Secretary Cardona has failed students, now we have the numbers. After two consecutive failed audits, it could only go up for Cardona, and yet he’s found a way to dig the hole even deeper, failing to live up to his promise to ‘revamp’ and address the audit failures," Foxx wrote. "Thankfully, the Trump administration will arrive soon and be able to clean up the messes created by the Biden-Harris administration. January 20th can’t come soon enough."

Good start. Then do CIA FBI DOJ and others. ALSO move what’s left to obscure parts of the country. No more DC partys.
But how can they be opposed to education?!!!

Get rid of the school loan scheme while you’re at it.
No one elected Elon.
Even better that no one elected Elon he is wildly popular, wicked smart, people trust his judgement, AND he is not looking to be elected for a damn thing he is looking to clean up the cesspool AND he has “I DON’T give a shit money” so it is pretty damn hard to threaten him!! I also see him having so much fun with this new challenge, I honestly can’t see Elon failing at a damn thing!!!
YES!!!!!!
We did fine for centuries without it.
Too many darn “intelligence agencies”.
He’s not opposed to education. The idea is give education decisions back to the individual STATE!
But it’s for the children!! Like every other cause they have!
Homeland security, wipe it out.
Wasn't the Doge the ruler of medieval Venice?
So? No one elected the two and a half million bureaucrats who rule you every day with or without your knowledge and consent. DOGE is basically a reincarnation of President Reagan’s Grace Commission, a private sector look at improving the functioning and efficiency of government.
Push the Leviathan back within the confines of the US Constitution. Re-empower the enumerated powers clause.
Migrate to a zero-based budget system, and stop the foolishness of the current system of fiscal theft.
DOE is good place to start but there’s numerous 3 letter institutions that need to go.
Cannot happen soon enough or thoroughly enough.
How about giving back to parents, who intentionally turn can decide and assist in their children’s education?
4,400 employees.
Around a $68/yr budget.
Devolve it back to the states.
Keep it local.
(except for "Abortion on Demand! at any stage, even post-birth)
As a homeschooling family, we are very interested in this topic... hoping that returning it to the states will also include protections and choice for families who opt out of public "education". We already have to jump through hoops in order to homeschool here in PA, and still pay their ridiculous taxes.
