Former #EducationSecretary #BetsyDeVos said Tuesday that the #DepartmentOfEducation should be #shuttered because it has “no good reason … to exist” and is used to force the progressive agenda on local schools. “I’m suggesting shutting it down,” #DeVos said at the 2023 #BradleyPrizes ceremony in #Washington. “There is no good reason for the U.S. Department of Education to exist, but when you consider the fact that it was not founded until 1979, as a pay-off to the teachers’ unions, and essentially functions as a political arm of the teachers’ unions and all of their allies today, it’s kind of like the bit in the horse’s mouth. It’s a small thing on the entire beast, but it totally controls the rest of education across the country.” https://thenewamerican.com/abolish-the-department-of-education-says-former-education-secretary-devos/
