We Have To End The Department Of Education

This doesn't work. Our education system does not work, and we can do better. And this is the part that most upsets the progressive, the leftist.

Tony Katz:

If there was a belief at one time that there would be a value provided of a Department of Education, I’m willing to accept that. If you say to me. That 44 years later, it still provides a value. I’m going to show you test results. We’re going to laugh out loud. And then we’re going to say, alright, how do we get rid of this thing? We have to put an end to this thing. This doesn’t work. Our education system does not work, and we can do better. And this is the part that most upsets the progressive, the leftist. This is where you get the most level of divide. They think that you have to adhere to the system and the question is why can’t we do better? Why can’t we state out loud? It doesn’t have to be like this. Why does it only have to be like this? “No, no, you can’t fire teachers. We need teachers. We don’t need all the teachers.” Some teachers suck. Some doctors suck. Some lawyers suck. Some carpenters suck. Some radio hosts suck. Not me, but others. You know the people you’re not listening to right now.

We should say that sometimes there are people in positions that aren’t good for the position. They can’t do the thing. Only in education we say, Nope, everybody’s perfect. They’re not all perfect. And every teacher knows that. Not every teacher is perfect… Sometimes the bad teacher is just a bad teacher, sometimes a bad system is a bad system. Sometimes education thinks that they’re in charge of students as opposed to parents being in charge of their own children. And sometimes schools take it upon themselves to take the role of the parent, and this should be absolutely avoided in every way possible way. Education needs a revamp, we need to change the system, and we need to do it joyfully, willfully and in our lifetime… I don’t want a slimmer Department of Education. I don’t want any Department of Education. It doesn’t work. It is valueless to the American experiment. After 44 years, we have the data to prove it. So, let’s stop. Let’s put an end to it and then let’s move on. As for the choice of Linda McMahon, I have no real issue there. The only question is she going to move in this direction? I do not want to hear Donald Trump say how we can revamp, but we can redo. No, if we’re talking about draining swamps, we could talk about the DOJ and the FBI. We could talk about the IRS from now until the end of time. The swamp of education. It’s the easiest one to drain. Because you can let it all just go into the sewer, just pull the plug, let it there, spiral out and be done. We’d all be better off, and I hope Trump does it.
