The Department of Education is a bloated, corrupt beast that’s been strangling America’s kids, parents, and schools for decades. It’s time to rip it out by the roots and burn it to the ground, 100% eliminated, no mercy. This isn’t just about inefficiency or bureaucracy; it’s about the evil it perpetrates against children, the way it’s turned its back on its own charter, and how it’s stomped all over the rights of local school systems like some federal overlord drunk on power. Let’s get real and tear this sham apart.

Evil Against Kids: Brainwashing and Failure

This agency’s hands are soaked with the failure of generations. Since it clawed its way into existence in 1979, promising to uplift education, what’s it delivered? A dumpster fire. Test scores flatline, literacy rates limp along, and kids graduate, if they even do, without basic skills. The National Assessment of Educational Progress shows reading and math proficiency for 17-year-olds barely budging in 40 years. Billions spent, and we’re churning out kids who can’t read a damn book or add two numbers without a calculator. That’s not incompetence, that’s sabotage.

Worse, it’s a propaganda mill. The Department pushes garbage like Common Core down kids’ throats, turning classrooms into assembly lines for standardized drones instead of places for real learning. It’s not about education; it’s about control, shoving leftist agendas like gender ideology and revisionist history into curriculum’s while parents scream to be heard. Look at the 2021 National School Board Association fiasco, where the Department’s buddies tried to sic the FBI on parents calling out this crap, labeling them “domestic terrorists.” That’s not protecting kids; that’s weaponizing schools against them and their families.

Betraying Its Own Charter

The Department was sold as a humble helper, coordinate funding, gather data, maybe nudge equity along. Its 1979 charter swore it wouldn’t meddle in local control or dictate curriculum’s. Bullshit. It’s morphed into a tyrannical puppet master, pulling strings it was never meant to touch. Title IX’s been twisted from ensuring fair sports to forcing schools to bow to every woke whim, like letting boys in girls’ locker rooms or else lose funding. That’s not equity, that’s extortion.

Then there’s the money racket. It doles out $80 billion a year, but it’s a leash, schools dance to its tune or get starved. The charter said it’d respect state autonomy, but now it’s issuing edicts like a king, from critical race theory mandates to COVID mask rules that ignored local realities. It’s not supporting education; it’s running it, and damn the consequences.

Trampling Local Rights

The Constitution doesn’t even whisper about federal education powers, education’s a state gig, period. The Tenth Amendment screams it: if it’s not Washington’s job, it’s the states’ or the people’s. Yet here’s the Department, acting like it owns every schoolhouse in America. Local districts, teachers, parents, communities—know their kids best, but they’re shackled by federal red tape and top-down decrees. Want to teach phonics instead of some trendy nonsense? Too bad—comply or kiss your budget goodbye.

Take Texas: in 2023, they fought tooth and nail against federal overreach on testing mandates, arguing it screwed their rural schools. The Department didn’t care, conform or suffer. That’s not partnership; that’s domination. States and districts aren’t serfs, but this agency treats them like they are, crushing their right to tailor education to their own kids.

The Fix: Abolish It

This isn’t reformable. It’s a cancer, cut it out. Eliminate the Department of Education entirely, send the money straight to states, and let local systems breathe. No more federal middlemen skimming cash for their pet projects. No more un-elected bureaucrats playing God with our kids’ minds. Parents and teachers take back the wheel, not some D.C. suit who’s never set foot in a rural classroom or a black robed activist judge.

The evil’s clear: it fails kids, betrays its mission, and spits on local rights. Every day it exists, it tightens the noose. Kill it dead, America’s future demands it.
