We already gave a department of education. We don’t need arbitrary performative “fixes.” That’s a total Bush-level “department of homeland security” “solution.”

We need candidates who oppose Israel & its genocide and torture of children. You can't both be for children & be for Israel, as you say you are. reuters.com/article/us-pales… "Israel’s Education Minister Wants “Shoot to Kill” Policy..." theantimedia.com/israel-shoo…

Abolishing the Department of Education and Department of Housing and Uban Development would have the affect you think this would have. Tasking the government with "fixing" a social problem is the best way to guarantee the problem will get worse

Imagine what good might be done if a Department of Children had even 10% of the Pentagon budget. We also need to revive Dennis Kucinich's idea for a Department of Peace.

When socialism fails, instead of rejecting it, socialists will always just demand more money until there's none left and everyone of ability has been sacrificed.

Cause the Dept of Ed did such a great job when it was founded? Oh wait, educational progress in America plateaued when it was founded. Government has already failed our children and youth, why the hell would anyone think another department, doomed to fail, is a good idea.
