The Dept of Educ. is wholly unconstitutional. The Constitution gives the feds no such power or authority.
First hopefully in a long line of unconstitutional federal depts. and agencies that get zapped

BREAKING: Former President Trump says he will get rid of the Department of Education if elected president.
“We’ll have a tiny group to make sure everyone is teaching English, math, etc. Department of Education goes.”
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
Im all for getting rid of the DOJ, FBI, CIA, Department of Woke Education, IRS, etc etc etc
Take about a dozen other worthless agencies with them, starting with the Dept of Energy and the EPA.
About Bloody time!
And just like that, there were no more edumacators.
Keep going, that’s only the first 2% of budget cuts.
Very good idea.
As Gingrich once said, to paraphrase, “If we have a dept of education why don’t we have a dept of happiness?”

I’d like to see it - but wasn’t that created by an act of Congress?
Great idea but good luck. Has there been a single department that has actually been eliminated? Not renamed eliminated.
LONG OVERDUE!! The DOE is the worst cabinet ever created. Sucks up billions of dollars and does nothing but build programs to indoctrinate kids.
“We’ll have a tiny group to make sure everyone is teaching English, math, etc. Department of Education goes.”
“Tiny Group” should be the local PTAs and have no involvement of the feds.
Next he can abolish federal funding of student loans. Nothing has caused education prices to rise way beyond inflation for decades than the GD federal government stepping in to make education “affordable.” All that government money showered on education gets hoovered up by the universities and kids wind up deep in debt because the universities were able to raise their prices so much.
The whole educational establishment is rotten to the core.
It’s probably a lot easier said than done
Energy is needed to ride herd on the nuclear stuff but the rest can go. Any agency that meddles in free enterprise or peddles climate nonsense, woke/DEI crap, or propaganda needs a very significant haircut at a minimum. As in at least 25% headcount reduction and moving needed operations out of DC.
Oh wait, they already have...
It is the right move, buy his words will be twisted and this will cost him votes.
I’d much rather just see him do it after getting elected instead of talking about it now.
Left jab. We’ll see what the money punch is.
it would be a start......let the states have their own education system ...even though in these days that’s pretty scary too...
it’s a vote dragnet.
Whenever we have a “government shutdown”, essential personnel still have to show up. Those should be the only personnel we keep.
