Department of Education

Hi

In my previous posts I have said I would eliminate the Department of Justice. Here are my reasons and thoughts.

To begin we should examine the make up of education and schooling. In the United States we have three types of people who work in education. These are the teachers, administrators and service people. Each performs a needed service. Here comes the caveat, it is not the positions which have to be cut but the staffing for these positions.

Administrators:
DOJ is made up of bureaucrats, the only function is to shuffle paper work for federal funding. When we look at this way we can easily see that this serves no useful purpose other than to grow federal government. No DOJ person can show you where the federal government is empowered to act in education by our constitution. Why, because it is not there. Solution, cut or eliminate the bureaucratic waste by cutting the DOJ.

Teachers:
These are the first line educators, the teachers and aides who actually sit in the classrooms and teach. I would allow each school district in the nation to set its own standards for education including class size, hours, and how to teach. Washington does not know any more than the local people.

Service people:
Here we look into the use and function of people like crossing guards, maintenance people and cafeteria workers. Most of these jobs are required but I would look very deep into programs like school meals. Family should feed children, not the public. When the population starts to realize that dependence on government subsidies is wrong they will rethink priorities.

These are just a few of the cuts we must implement to restore sanity to our federal government.

Remember to pray for our brave defenders.
GOD Bless
