Since the inception of the Federal Dept of Education the quality of
education in the U.S. has taken a steady downturn. Eliminating this
massive
governemtn boondoggle will free up badly needed funds that can go to
schools
instead. It will remove career beurocrats frm the education system and
put
control in the hands of local school boards and parents - people who are
more likely to care about the outcome of a childs schooling.
The DOE is one of Jimmy Carters legacies, thanks to his incompetence and
caving in to the demands of the teachers union, another group we would
be
much better off without.
