Another reason to eliminate the Dept of Education: Over half a trillion dollars that could be saved by butting out of local school districts.
That would put a BIG DENT in the deficit.

The U.S. Dept. of Ed is not only ridiculous on its face, it's another step toward eliminating local control of local issues AND a blatant violation of the 10th amendment. The fact that it even exists is prima fascia evidence that the constitution, which was designed to restrain the government, means nothing to those it was designed to restrain. The result? Tyranny.
