It's time to end "brainwashing for political correctness" and start teaching the "3 R's" again.Feb 9th, 2017Donald M. from Hayes, VA writes:
The organization remains as it was founded, a payoff to the teachers unions. It provides no actual education, but eliminates American and western history and culture from education at every turn It seeks to control curriculum, indoctrinate students to abandon patriotism and destroy the values of their families while forcing those same families to pay for these destructive activities.REPORT COMMENTS

Please repeal this dept as soon as possible. It is not right for this monopoly to be continually upheld by loud minorities and connected representatives. I am counting on mature and responsible citizen representatives to slay this evil dragon. This must be the first of many acts needed to set this country aright. The marketplace can determine which schools and which teachers are good, just as the marketplace has determined that you are needful, at this time. We don't know if we will have liberty in a decade or so unless we act now. I am counting on you.REPORT COMMENTS

I attended two high schools - one in rural Maryland & one in the city Milwaukee. I got a fine education and I was well prepared for university. There was no Dept of Education in Washington. We didn't need one.REPORT COMMENTS

Over the years the education bureaucracy and the teacher unions have used government to gain a corrupt influence over education in the US to the benefit of the bureaucracy and primarily union leadership at the expense of parents and children. Education is the great equalizer in America - time to return that power to the families of America.REPORT COMMENTS

President Reagan promised to abolish the Dept. of Education, one promise he unfortunately did not follow through on.

It is time to return the control of education to the states where it rightly belongs. The federal government has no business being in control of education. Should this occur, we can begin to educate our children in the things that made us a great nation, not in the biased view of the left. The current display of anti-American, criminal behavior on nightly TV is certainly in part to the years of "fake education" we have been delivering to our children.REPORT COMMENTS

History is rife with examples of statesmen who did not require Federal assistance to become truly great - most notably our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln who found many excellent mentors - including his own step-mother - and did not require Federal oversight to ensure his educational direction. What we need is to hold families and communities accountable for basic literacy and then provide pathways for motivated students to seek out mentors. None of these can be effectively accomplished at the Federal level.REPORT COMMENTS

I think this is a great first step toward restoring our educational system to it's rightful position - local control. The Federal government has no business in this area as it is a state concern covered by the 10th amendment. Also go a long way towards shring the Federal government.REPORT COMMENTS

This is the time to remove the Federal government from Education! Our education in this countlry in it's beginning was Godly (Christian).

The right to educate and raise our children belongs to the parents and aided by LOCAL governments and elected school boards...........not the bloated and ineffectual Federal Government. Having schools directed by a centralized government and run by a labor union that is only interested in its own survival and in grabbing bigger and bigger chunks of taxpayer money is obscene!REPORT COMMENTS
