The Target on the Department of Education
Efforts to dismantle the Department of Education have been a consistent aim of the Republican Party, increasingly gaining traction during Trump's presidency. The argument posits that education should be localized, allowing parents greater control over their children's education, rather than entrusting it to a federal system. It is argued that the federal government has transformed the Department into a bureaucratic entity that primarily funnels money to allies of the Democratic Party, with significant funding allocated to indoctrination. In fiscal year 2024, the Department’s spending reached $268 billion, showing a dramatic 372% increase since 1980, with large portions dedicated to higher education rather than elementary and secondary schooling that benefits younger children.
