ABOLISHING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION: A CRITICAL NECESSITY

Conservative policymakers have long criticized the U.S. Department of
Education, arguing that its centralized authority undermines parental
and state control of education. Since its creation in 1979 under
President Jimmy Carter, the department has been labeled a costly
failure, unable to achieve its stated goals despite decades of effort
and ever-increasing budgets.

A FAILED EXPERIMENT

As federal control over education expanded, the results have been
catastrophic. Testing scores have steadily declined, global
proficiency rankings have plummeted, and public trust in the system
has eroded. In stark reality, only 26% OF EIGHTH GRADERS perform at or
above grade-level proficiency. The growing disconnect between funding
and results highlights the system’s inefficiency. Federal spending
per student rose from $11,221 IN 1979 (adjusted for inflation) to
$17,700 IN 2023, yet student performance has stagnated or declined.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reports that
13-year-olds recently scored their LOWEST MATH PROFICIENCY LEVELS IN
OVER 30 YEARS. Similarly, the number of high school seniors who did
not read a single book for pleasure nearly quadrupled between 1976 and
2021—tragic! _These statistics paint a grim picture of a system that
fails to prepare students for a competitive and increasingly
globalized world._

A BUREAUCRATIC OVERREACH

Critics argue that the Department of Education prioritizes
bureaucratic interests over student success. Despite contributing only
9% OF OVERALL EDUCATION FUNDING, the federal government controls 90%
OF EDUCATION POLICIES, stifling local and state innovation. Former
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has called for its closure,
stating, “WE SPENT OVER $1 TRILLION...AND WE’VE GOTTEN NOTHING BUT
WORSE RESULTS.” She advocates redirecting federal funds directly to
parents through block grants, empowering them to choose the best
educational options for their children.

The department has also faced backlash for imposing controversial
social policies, including promoting gender ideology and critical race
theory (CRT) in curricula and forgoing grades or discriminating based
on skin tone when grading in the name of race equity. Some school
systems stooped as low as segregating students by skin tone in the
name of DEI.

ENSURING SAFEGUARDS IN A DECENTRALIZED SYSTEM

Dismantling the department raises concerns about potential disparities
among states. Critics worry that blue states may adopt radicalized
policies that could undermine national unity and educational
standards. Some propose legislative safeguards to prevent this,
ensuring baseline standards that preserve American identity and
historical accuracy while banning DEI, CRT, Social Justice Activist
Training, All Ages Comprehensive Sex Education, Gender Fluidity, the
1619 Project, Parental Rights Violations, Gender and Sexual
Orientation Counseling, Planned Parenthood education programs, and
more.

While the task of decentralizing education is immense, it offers an
opportunity to lift up America’s children and secure the nation’s
future while stripping power from the teacher unions, which have
promoted a Marxist agenda in government schools for far too long.
