The Department of Education was then-President Jimmy Carter’s gift to teacher’s unions. It has grown into a centralized behemoth of forced unfunded mandates and gifts to preferred beneficiaries. In other words, it is completely politicized.
Conservatives are considering a policy proposal that would dismantle the U.S. Department of Education and return K–12 and higher-education authority fully to states and local communities.
The goal is to restore parental control, reduce federal overreach, and reinvigorate school choice since the unions are led by Marxists destroying the inner city and beyond.
The proposal is to gradually dismantle it, ending its authority and programs, sending the money and power to the states. Block grants would have sunset clauses. Federal roles tied to civil-rights enforcement, research, and higher-education loan servicing would go to the states or small federal offices.
The dismantling would include statutory guardrails for vulnerable students. That would be difficult but not impossible.
Parents and local officials would once again control their child’s education. Local officials would be answerable to parents.
Our federal government is deeply in debt and the money going to this authoritarian fixture disappears into the abyss of special interests.
Critics will tell you it’s dangerous. We could have chaos, it’s an overwhelming effort, maybe disadvantaged children would be hurt.
It boils down to one question: Should parents decide their child’s education or a centralized entity subject to nonstop politicization?
Take power away from people like Randi, who helped run education into the ground:
How did schools become Leftist indoctrination hate camps?
Meet Randi Weingarten.
A childless Marxist.
Former union president.
Her salary was $560,000 per year. (Not a typo)

What does it mean, to learn or to teach, and how much teaching or learning really goes on in your average school, either public, or private. What are students and parents saying. What are employers saying. How about when kids hit college, what are the instructors saying. And, HOW MUCH MONEY ARE WE TALKIONG ABOUT, WHEN DO WE FINALLY START… Read more »
Jew hating, Muslim loving Jimmy Carter was a shitbag who created the Mujahideen, sold the Panama canal for one dollar, created the board of education and FEMA. All are now destroyed. Jimmy Carters creations have been shut down.
Dismantle the Teachers Union. There, fixed it.
The Dept. of Ed…came out of another cabinet “HEW” Health, Education and Welfare.
I’m guessing, had it stayed there, we would still be at the same place today.
Eliminate federal involvement in education.
PERIOD.
I’m glad Carter lived long, didn’t look like fun toward the end. Got the feeling he was getting his just reward.
Randi is a great big fat, ugly lesbian who hates America. She has turned too many of our children into America hating Communists. She needs prosecuted and jailed for the rest of her life. She should not be walking among us spreading her hate a division.
GO DAVE!
