Should the Dept. of Education be eliminated?

Just the title of this BS thread is Ridiculous

What's it like to be a waterboy for the rightwing

He has perfected it. It's part of his personality. He, and most of the amigos, are unable to criticise anything that even looks like it might lean right.

There are at least 51 Departments of Education in the United States. When people discuss getting rid of one, they usually mean the federal one. The idea is for the power to go back down to the lowest level of government possible, with the expectation that the lower level of governments are also the least wasteful and most responsive to a community’s needs.
A lack of money at the U.S. Department of Education isn’t the problem. The presence of bureaucrats who’ve never been teachers, and politicians who pander for votes with taxpayer money is the problem.
I’d gladly support a tax increase for education funding, if I thought it would actually make a positive difference. But I have zero faith that it actually would do anything besides be wasted.
Giving a teacher you know a $10 gift card to buy school supplies will do more to help education in the United States than raising everyone’s taxes by $1,000 to increase funding to the U.S. Department of Education.

Hahahahaha. Typical cop out. You don't know the answer so you turn it around. Nice try.

Seriously? Do you seriously want to argue which party advocated for Critical Race Theory in our schools? Of course, you still haven't admitted that dems put porn in schools.

You are confused. A school board is not "the dems". However, the governor of Florida (a republican) is advocating for removing actual facts from the curriculum and adding lies. That is "the reps" attempting to control what children learn. Making graduates less and less educated. And we all already know how people with less education vote, don't we?

That's not true. Explain to me how porn and CRT got into our schools?

Yes, blacks and Hispanics are the most poorly educated they vote overwhelmly for democrats.

The cost bureaucracy at ever level needs also to be taken into consideration. Not much of the "Education Budget" ends up in the classroom where it is actually needed. If if goes to salaries for political appointees mostly unneeded pencil pushers n the "Swamp". A lot of what does get sent down to the states then gets consumed at the state bureaucratic level.

The school system in the town where I grew up we were in the middle of a rather large petroleum production area. Back then all property taxes for education stayed in the school district where it was raised. We were in the top 10% for spending per student and the bottom 1% for school tax rate. Then the state looked at all that property tax revenue that districts like ours had and decided that they wanted control of it. The result was court ordered reapportionment. Now instead of being spent in the classroom, the lion's share is spent in Sacramento.
