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.
Just as Nancy Reagan rightly said about drugs in the 1980s, students today should just say “no” to college loans.
But the level of education provided, in response to market demand, is indeed now horrible.
GIVE QUALIFIED PARENTS THE JOB OF TEACHING-—AND CREDIT THEIR PROPERTY TAXES.
The US department of education should only have 550 employees, and only exist to disburse funding for STEM programs and putting more technology in classrooms.
