Report Says Trump to Announce Long Overdue Dismantling of Education Dept.
by John Nolte
The utterly destructive and useless U.S. Department of Education is about to be dismantled, according to a report in the far-left Washington Post.
We can only hope.
The Post talked to three unnamed (naturally) sources, two of whom (and let’s hope they are reliable) say that six offices in the Department of Education will move to other agencies. The overall goal here (tee hee) is to dismantle the Education Department as much as legally possible when only Congress has the ultimate authority to close it entirely.
Here’s part of the useless nonsense the Education Department wastes your money on:
Offices that could be moved out of the agency include the Office for Civil Rights, which investigates allegations of discrimination on the basis of race, sex and disability; the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, which administers the $15 billion Individuals with Disabilities Act program; and the Indian Education program; the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which administers K-12 grant programs; and the Office of Postsecondary Education.
The workaround to kill this garbage is to have the Education Department legally contract with other agencies to handle these programs.
Back in March, President Trump signed an executive order calling for the Department of Education to close and tasked Education Secretary Linda McMahon to get it done by working with Congress.
Recently, McMahon used the recent 40+ day government shutdown to make her case for how useless the Education Department is…
“Students kept going to class. Teachers continued to get paid. There were no disruptions in sports seasons or bus routes,” she wrote. “The shutdown proved an argument that conservatives have been making for 45 years: The U.S. Department of Education is mostly a pass-through for funds that are best managed by the states.”
