        The 14th Amendment predates the @usedgov by more than 100 years. It will continue to secure the rights of children.

        And how will that work if you remove enforcement? Our kids deserve better.

        Enforcement of the 14th Amendment doesn't require that department.

        Presently it does, though. What would the process be if the Dept was eliminated?

        Legislation can designate an appropriate federal agency to enforce. @pmedfordconley1

        Eliminating a federal department does not take away constitutional protections. The Constitution doesn't work that way.

        The 14th Amendment authorizes Congress to pass appropriate legislation; that's why the Civil Rights Act was rightly passed.

        Q. about bill to eliminate Dept of Ed: What happens to Fed programs like loans/grants, Title IX, IDEA, ADA? Who oversees?

        They can become state programs if desired. The federal government would continue to enforce constitutional safeguards.

        if different states choose to keep different programs, how is that equal protection under the law?

        States may have different laws under our Constitution, but they may not violate or ignore constitutional requirements. @jennvzande

        I worry some states will have stronger laws than other states. Before civil rights act, lots of diversity in laws.
