The country needs Larry Arne, the President of Hillsdale College, as Secretary of Education.
Under his leadership, the college refuses ANY federal aid. It requires all students to be literate in the US Constitution and has pioneered online courses about the Amercian governmental system to anyone at no cost.
Faulty premise. The DOE needs to be DOA.
Secretary of Ed needs to be Michelle Rhee. Dept. of Education be GONE, however.
All we need for Secretary of Education is an accountant lawyer who can put it, and us, out of its misery.
We don’t need a new Education Secretary because we don’t need the Department of Education.
Right after he takes the job, he recommends to President Trump to shutter and batten down the doors - forever!
Until the Dept. is gone, this is a brilliant idea of who to be secretary of it.
No, the dept of education must be eliminated.
Yea
Might be the right guy to start closing down the DOE
This is one cabinet office that definitely needs to be ended.
Newt looks like he’s heading for Secretary of Education and I don’t think that’s such a bad Idea.
The DOE should be limited to promotion of the Arts and Sciences only .... Just like the constitution says is the Federal Government duty.
Works for me....
Either that or the woman who was the superintendent of the DC school district that wanted charter schools and to hold people accountable....Michele Rhee. She’s fabulous
I agree - Michelle Rhee then phase it out totally
Better yet, stop the DOE and allow the states to decide how dumb or smart they want their children to be. Now it is everybody should be dumb.
A temporary politician, as the constitution intended.
Give it and the money back to the States
Yep. Hire him to work himself out of a job.
The Constitution says: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."
In other words, to make establish laws furthering copyright and patent rights.
It says nothing about the government having any other role in promoting science and arts.
Federal involvement in education at any level is inappropriate, and was an idea established only for the purpose of advancing the Progressive agenda.
Government control of, or even influence on, education is a primary tool of establishing and preserving tyranny.
Free people make art and advance science. Market forces determine what survives.
The DOE must be abolished. Whether or not we need a secretary of eduction to implement and oversee that abolition, given the current extent of government involvement, is arguable.
Ultimately, the primary objective of a secretary of education ought to be to eliminate that job.
Hillsdale needs Larry Arne. DoE needs to be abolished and all its employees simply terminated. That goes for all the other Agencies outside of the original 4 Departments.
