Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie Launches Bill to Abolish Federal Education Department

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is introducing legislation that would abolish the federal education department.

The bill, H.R.899, is only one sentence and states: “The Department of Education Shall Terminate on December 31, 2018.”

Massie introduces the measure as Betsy DeVos is confirmed as the next secretary of the U.S. Education Department. Grassroots parent activists had urged that the federal department be dismantled.

“Neither Congress nor the President, through his appointees, has the constitutional authority to dictate how and what our children must learn,” Massie said in a press release announcing the bill.

    ha ha. So clever.
    Gee, all those years American kids went to school BEFORE the dept of ED existed, I suppose they never learned how to read, right? Have you ever seen the tests they used to give students in the 1800's? Are you aware that MOST high school students knew at least a little Lain, and had at least some knowledge of ancient history and good literature?

    i recommend everyone looking up "The Six Lesson Schoolteacher" by a fellow named John Taylor Gatto. It will open your eyes.

    It has got to go. One of the lesser-known benefits is that not a single conservative will lose his/her job.

    Since that department was created, we lost the ability to send a man to the moon and make change at the grocery store!

    Like the Department of energy, another federal money pit to hire incompetent cronies and affirmative action candidates!

    The department of education has become nothing more than the department of liberal indoctrination and teachers union advocate. Time to go!
