So you are asking us to believe that literacy rates are lower because of the department of education!!!! I believe it, I believe it, I believe it…..

Are you asking us to believe that the teachers union members is more concerned about power than the welfare of the students!!!! I believe it, I believe it, I believe it….

Is education among the enumerated powers?

Nope

So federal involvement in it is unconstitutional.

So close it down … or admit not supporting the rule of law.

Same with housing, healthcare, foreign aid, “general police powers” (FBI, ATF)…

The real reason for teacher unions was corrupt administration. They were the ones pushing for every child to graduate even if they didn't meet the minimum standards. Administrators would harass teachers to lower standards to achieve the goal. Firing the ones that wouldn't comply. The real problem is that we need to go back to the standards we had 120 years ago in public schools. Teach real education and allow for new ideas that make mathematics and science something that all students can achieve. Help those that just want to become tradesman achieve their goals as well we need both farmers and scientists to make our country great again. We need to reinvent the educational system from the bottom up to achieve this goal and a new department of education should be the first step. Helping school systems become the very best institutions instead of piling rules on them that just hinder the process. Sending helpers to struggling schools to help repair and reinfigurate teachers and staff that have lost heart in teaching.

I hope Trump appoints Byron Donalds as Secretary of Ed. He is a charter/home school expert. He can manage the closure of this destructive agency.

I think Oregon now ranks in the bottom 10 nationally in education after riding high in the top ten for decades until the 1980s.

Poor education creates a nation of serfs, as in the old days when only the children of the landed gentry, rich and powerful were permitted to learn to read and write.

People demanding their child get an A when they didn't deserve one. When I went to school EVERYONE graduated. That was wrong and now we have competency tests to make sure children are educated. This has caused its own problems. We need to set minimum standards and intervene in schools that are failing and send in people to fix the problem even if it means taking control from the local school systems.
