On the campaign trail this month, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to “close the federal Department of Education” and expand school choice — a wildly popular concept that cuts across party lines, new polling shows.
Good news: If he wins the White House again, he can do both.
The federal Department of Education is an unconstitutional waste of time and money.
Its very existence arguably violates the Tenth Amendment: The word “education” appears nowhere in the Constitution.
The federal government has spent well over a trillion dollars on K-12 education since the department’s inception, while failing to improve student performance.
It was created in 1980, at the tail end of President Jimmy Carter’s single term in office, as a payoff to the nation’s largest teachers’ union after it endorsed his unsuccessful re-election bid.

BATFE needs to be gone!
USPHS needs to be gone! Start with the fruit-loop Admiral…
Abolish all Government employee unions….all positions are at-will!
Get rid of internal CivilService transfer advantages – make all positions Direct-Hire!
Make all Government employees pass a constitution exam!
Cut the IRS by 60%
Increase Border Patrol / ICE by 60% – but don’t add the clowns you just cut from the IRS!
Can no longer call it the Department of Education.
It is now the Department of the Indoctrinated.
