The Department of Education is causing America's future problems, failing children, and wasting billions. It's causing broken schools, brainwashing students, and causing a crisis in education.
The Department of Education, established in 1979 under Jimmy Carter, has been a significant factor in the decline of American education. Its creation has accelerated this trend by focusing on promoting feelings, indoctrination, and political activism rather than teaching students how to think. This move has led to a shift from a system that was supposed to cultivate knowledge and critical thinking to one that is now focused on feelings, indoctrination, and political activism.
The Department of Education's budget is often spent on bureaucracy, hiring consultants, funding research studies, and dictating what local schools can and cannot do, regardless of what parents want or what students need. The United States spends more money per student than almost any other country in the world, yet its results continue to decline. Countries like South Korea and Finland spend far less and get far better results because they focus on academic rigor while the government focuses on political agendas and social engineering.
The most destructive consequence of federal control over education has been the dumbing down of standards. The government has continuously lowered the bar, leading to grade inflation, manipulated standardized test scores, and watered curricula to ensure no one feels like they are falling behind. The real beneficiaries are teachers' unions and bureaucrats who depend on the system remaining exactly as it is. Teachers' unions have fought against any form of accountability, whether it be performance-based pay, school choice, or even the ability to fire ineffective teachers.
The core problem with federal control of education is that it removes power from parents and communities and hands it over to bureaucrats who have no stake in the outcomes. Parents know what is best for their children, and local communities are better equipped to decide what their schools need than someone sitting in an office in Washington, DC. The goal is no longer education but compliance.
If the Department of Education were shut down tomorrow, states would still have their own education departments, local school boards would still exist, private schools and charter schools would still operate, and control over education would return to the people who actually have to live with the consequences.
