Time to give them what they voted for: Education edition. [View all]

It is past time to stand aside and let the department of education go.

Long gone will be the excuse that failing schools were a federal government problem.
Now the failures of kansas and kentucky can stay there, along with the blame.

It is time for states to be the lab of America to show what education works, and what education clearly does not.

Anything positive that came from the dept, can be implemented by a state. And the money can come in the form of the great tax cuts that are on the way back to the rich. Each state can tax their billionaires accordingly as well.
