Abolish the federal Department of Education. The federal government has no constitutional responsibility for providing public education. That is the sole responsibility of the states. Federal tax dollars wasted at the federal level could be better used at the local or state level if only the fed would stop confiscating them.

This is simply another example of big government skimming where they have no business in the first place. Dept. of Education, like many other gov't agencies, exist solely for the purpose of adding more needless layers of bureaucracy and to employ more NEA types who can't teach, much less do.
