Why must states send a dollar to DC to have it filtered through the bureaucracy in order to get back a fraction of what they send? The Feds have no business in education. Education should be a community endeavor.

Agreed. "Let's make it so that every public school from Alaska to Florida is doing everything exactly the same way, making every effort to squelch innovation and individuality from our schools as well as our students". |

"When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side.' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.'" Yes, I went straight-up Godwin's law. Deal with it. Or, to put it another way, "It takes a village." |

Because Jimmy Carter needed a job for one of his friends/cronies/supporters.

Quoted: Quoted: Standardized indoctrination. This. Wait until you start hearing about Common Core. It's a complete and total takeover of state control over education and puts nearly 100% control in the hands of the Federal Government. It's really creepy stuff, and it's currently underway. It even has requirements that children undergo an annual 400+ question data point collection test, and IIRC require the children to wear biometric data collection bracelets. Bill Ayers, The Tides Foundation, and Rupert Murdoch, yes Rupert Murdoch, are just a few of the supporters of this program. http://www.video.theblaze.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=25731675 I know it's the blaze, but it's worth watching. |

Gov't run youth propaganda camps are essential to the Leviathan State we "enjoy" today. We must indoctrinate our youth to never question big brother for the success of all citizens and the destruction of the arrogant burgoise.
See Poland, that's where public education came from. No matter how much money you throw at it, it will only get worse. I support the complete disbanding of the Dept of Propaganda and the elimination of ALL public schooling. |

Standardized indoctrination. FPNI. States should have their own Departments of Education IMO. |

How many kids has the Dept of Education, actually educated ? ZERO
How many Kilowatts of Energy has the Dept Of Energy generated ? ZERO How much stuff has DOT transported ? ZERO How much Commerce has the dept of commerce engaged in? ZERO etc How many regs have the above and others created to STOP education from taking place, energy from being produced, goods getting to market and stifle commerce? MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS. Govt doesn't make things happen it throttles and stifles them from happening

To keep the people who run the show and all their puppets in power.

How else are you going to make sure children become Democrat voters for the next 200 years?
|

We don't need it. We also don't need hundreds of other agencies, bureaus, commissions and departments.
|

It provides the illusion of education, since the real thing is too difficult.
|

Because originally there was no federal involvement in public education. Liberal do-gooders, for whom "it's the thought that counts!" is a motto for political action, decided that schools would be improved if a federal bureaucracy was created to "help" them. They think in general that federal bureaucracies actually produce good because they are stupid motherfuckers. The ones who know better still want federal bureaucracies because they are evil motherfuckers.
So they helped elect Jimmy Carter and the rest is history. |

If you really want your head to explode, read this:
Common Core States are basically being FORCED to follow these standards or lose funding. |

Without the Ministry of Truth, how would the local teacher-drones know what to teach our children?
|

to produce low-information votes, i.e. indoctrination as previously said.

Control and the notion that everything must have administrators.
|

Simple because State-run schools (government schools) are one plank of the Communist Manifesto. If I recall correctly, America now has most of those planks enshrined in law.

And WHY do they need shotguns?
http://usgovinfo.about.com/b/2010/03/18/why-the-dept-of-education-needs-shotguns.htm While the U.S. Department of Education's notice of intent to buy 27 brand-new Model 870 police-grade 12-gauge shotguns may conjure up visions of jack-booted federal thugs marching down the halls of your local grade school, the Department's need for the guns is valid. more at link.......... |

(Should be) a State's rights issue. Just wait till you can not pass college entrance exams without attending CORE based "education".

They could color them white for those determined to be inheritors of 'white privilege' and black for those who've come from a background of being 'historically disadvantaged' from anywhere on the planet. |

it was created as a shield. now anytime someone wants less governmebt spending they get to declare that children will suffer.

It's awfully difficult to change the thinking and control the thought of future generations if you have 50 states, each with multiple school districts, doin their own thing. It must be centrally controlled, or the "progressive" agenda would fail. That's why.

Just think, conservatives used to be against the DoE.
George Bush doubled the size of it. We have such depts because people expect the government to do things for them that the government shouldn't do. I imagine most here send their children to public schools. It is just another form of government handouts/ welfare that is probably ok with most because they do it. In reality they are perpetuating the nanny state and taking taxpayer dollars. So I guess the answer to you question is because people think the government should be responsible for raising and educating their children. |

All you Ron Paulbots supporting the abolishment of the Dept of Education are nuts.
