Wiping out Dept of Educashun on the federal level and giving all the money direct to the states to spend, cutting out alot of that fat, with no holds barred spend as you see fit, no more National Standards. You'd wipe alot of federal workers out! Useless ones at that.. We'll see then the red vs blue and who thrives and who does not...

"And let's not forget that it would likely vastly diminish the power of the teacher's unions."
With respect, no. Their dues are just as effective when spent in state races. Maybe more so.
If you want to win this fight, you have to offer competition by supporting homeschools, charters, etc., and shrink the union labor/ dues pool. Since COVInsanity, our local public enrollment shrank by ~20%. It has to become "adapt or die." Removing the federal Dept of "Education" is still is a good first step, but it isn't the end of the war.
No argument here about offering competition, but it would substantially dilute national union power as they would have to distribute their efforts to 50 states, and ideally, a multitude of individual districts and/or localities within those states, rather than being able to concentrate on a single, overarching Federal agency.

The more rabbits they must chase, the better.
Great point. I can't believe that someone would make that comment about
'representing the interests of school children'. Indefensible!
I prefer not confiscating by force taxpayer money for redistribution to the states and allowing it to remain in the pockets of hard-working Anericans.
And who might be taking more kindly to deporting illegal immigrants because 'they have the jobs that we Americans need'. ЁЯди
