No More Department of Education?!

Bill introduced to terminate the Department of Education, bringing funding back to the states

"While the Senate was busy debating and finally confirming Betsy Devos as the next Secretary of Education, Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced a bill to abolish the entire Department of Education on December 31st, 2018. Rep. Massie joins Dana Loesch to discuss his bill, which has gone viral on the internet.

Rep. Massie explains how the Department of Education has roughly 4,500 bureaucrats making around $105,000 apiece a year, dictating to states what the students will learn and how they will learn it. He states by making this cut there will be more funding available to the states to be spent in the school system."

With Liberals, it always has been and always will be about CONTROL!

Agreed, but the p-school system is also about funding the D Party.

I'm all for it, getting rid of the Federal Ministry of Indoctrination... er..um.. The Department of Education is long overdue.

The key to preventing tyranny: de-centralized power.

The Dept of Education (and Energy) needs to go.

de=centralized power...and education. When that education is centralized, as you point out, it becomes more about indoctrination and control than anything else.

Agreed...but following your analysis, of which I fully agree, we must also get rid of the federal government.

I am ALL FOR shrinking the FED and allowing education to be a local issue.

There has to be some government, as a practical matter. Further, and more importantly, our constitution creates a federal government. Granted, the gov created by the constitution is one of much, much less power than what it evolved into today. So, a limited federal government is necessary, primarily for security.

While basic, it is worth reflecting on the fact that the intent of the Founders was that unless a power is expressly conferred upon the federal government, then it is reserved for the states. The leftists have created this perverse idea of negative powers whereby if something is not expressly forbidden by the constitution then it is permissible and, therefore, not unconstitutional. The biggest usurpation of states rights has been the negative authority found in the commerce clause over the past 100 years. It is striking how our nation is so unlike what is was intended to be.

The more they employee, the more votes they are assured. Does anyone realize if you took away public sector unions how few votes would be left for the Dems!?!

The best schools have an elected school board with active parent participation. It is all downhill when the government gets involved.

The a problem with allowing some government, is it is akin to cancer. It grows and metastasizes into something deadly, which is exactly what we have today.

The Founders knew we would end up with criminals running the nation.

Sad, but true. I'm not even sure what they really do.

They blow a lot of other peoples money and waste a lot of other peoples time so they can make our schools worse and they're REALLY good at it.

Agreed, but remember that the best way to destroy an opponent is to let them destroy themselves.
