"All right. If you're not here, speak up."
--Alex Jurel (Teachers)

There are few better examples of the waste inherent in socialism than federal government involvement in education. Since the Department of Education was 'upgraded' to cabinet-level status in the 1950s, public school costs have gone up and quality has gone down.

Not sure there many things more predictable than dismal performance of State run schools.

Moreover, and just as predictably, US public schools have become a cesspool for special interests and government sponsored jobs. Since 1970, US public school employment has risen nearly 100% while enrollment has increased less than 10%.

Constitutionally, of course, there is no enumerated power over education granted to the federal government...

If/when we get serious about de-socializing government and eliminating bloat, federal government involvement in education is low hanging fruit.
