I have already signed one petition to abolish the department of education. I will gladly do it again. The Federal Government has no business in the peoples affairs. Put the schools back under the state control along with the parents. And do it soon. -

Most kids when finished with high school and go onto college only to struggle trying to get caught up and start pursuing a degree, so that shows our schools are not meeting the standards.REPORT COMMENTS

Common Core has done nothing but confused parents and students and harmed our school systems way of teaching, Time to get back to the three R's and get the Feds out of what should be local decisions, and stop pushing the teaching of Islamic doctrine in so many of our schools across the Nation this is not the middle east students here need to learn about America and American ways, As it is now College students don't know American or World History and it seems the only thing that they are being taught is how to protest.REPORT COMMENTS

The DOE should be done away with. Our children are being taught how to overthrow America and how bad America is, they know nothing about American history Most don't even know the vice president is. This is a state function and should be turned over to the states. Semper FiREPORT COMMENTS

The common core is not working, more students are being left behind if they can't keep up. We need to get back to the basics reading, writing and math, so that our children can come out of school with the basics to be self sufficient. To go on and learn a trade or continue to higher education. Go back to the way our founding fathers intended government to work......REPORT COMMENTS

One more area that the Federal Government has overreached into and completely fouled up. There is reason and wisdom, in a free society, that our founding fathers did not place the responsibility of education at the federal level. This responsibility lies first at the family, local, and lastly state level. Anything besides this is laziness and tyranny.REPORT COMMENTS

As American' we allow the infringement of our property rights to be collectivized (collected in the form of property taxes) and doled to bureaucracy. This act is done through threat of violence i.e. liens against you, or outright confiscation by force) The motive for this violence against the individual is the idea that the state must educate all 'its' children. Our current education system is an amalgam of many and is communist Prussian in origin. Restore the Constitution - Reclaim the Republic.REPORT COMMENTS
