Perhaps she can be persuaded.
When Carter formed the Department of Education in '77, it was widely viewed as political payback to the educational establishment for it's support of his quest for the presidency. Thus viewed, at the time the move was deemed acceptable (believe it or not!).
However, times have changed. The political winds are changing, too. No one owes them anything nowadays. More starkly, we have no need of them today!
So, yes, maybe Sarah can be persuaded.
