The Federal Department of Education should be abolished because it is costly and ineffective, it is unjust and unethical, it is too political, and it is unconstitutional. We, the undersigners, call upon President Donald Trump to keep his campaign promise to close the Federal Department of Education and end all Common Core aligned standards and testing.
Elimination of federal intervention can be achieved in 5 steps:
1. Send all program management and funding to the states.
2. Repeal all laws permitting federal intervention in education starting with ESSA.
3. Privatize college loan programs.
4. Eliminate all offices and divisions in US Dept. of Education and related spending.
5. Reduce federal tax collection, shift revenue control back to states.
