Every year the Department of Education spends twice as much as Elon Musk is spending to buy Twitter.
And since 1980, the year Carter ignored the Constitution to create the DOE, every measurable academic metric has declined.
Get rid of it. Return education to the local level.

Reading about the history of the Department of Ed on Wikipedia. Yikes.

What's wrong? Not enough people taking your anti-CRT college admissions exam?

The fed needs to fund education as promised. They're at 15% of accessible education (spec. ed) when they promised 40% in the 70s! Underfunded individual programs leads to all programs being underfunded.

Most of the Administrative State / Executive Branch at the Federal level & the State levels can be axed. The 16th Amendment, granting Congress unlimited ability to tax income was a terrible mistake & is the primary reason why the Executive has grown into a monstrosity.

Your analysis only focuses on the K-12 portion of the DoE mandate. However, the most harm the DoE has done to our society is in its abandonment of student-loan oversight leading to 2 generations impoverished by massive loans and low-quality degrees.

That's the first department I think of, when I start thinking of ways the government can cut wasteful spending!

I concur. But do you concur then as well that the Florida bill banning certain classroom conversations or studies is an overreach on the local level as well? Should governors or state DOEs be making specific rules for local school districts?

Education is at the local level, the DOE is a joke but there should be some concensus on learning and it could be used to incentivize national policy for like trade schools as an example
