The Marxists have essentially taken over this federal organization and it has been filtered down into the public schools over the past 50 years. Destroy it and start over.

The quality of education has dropped when we should be at or near the top. Somehow the department lost track of who the customers are. The students and the parents. People need to understand, this is not the elimination of the department, it is the right sizing of it.

we need to get back to reading, writing, math, shop, Home Economics and our United States History

After $3 trillion dollars spent on the DOE since 1979, test scores, reading rates, and global education rankings have dropped significantly. There are better ways to help the states educate their children.

Teacher's unions, bureaucracy, federal regulations have failed our kids. Give the power (and money) back to the schools and let teachers do what they do best, teach. No more common core nonsense, DEI, and lets start with reading. Reading, writing, arithmetic, the rest will figure itself out.

The DoE has no mandate in the constitution. Education policy should be determined and enforced at the local level as the founders intended.
