Nice summary. What I'd also want to know is how this Department of Education has grown in its various incarnations. If it used to be a small fraction of its current state not too long ago, then even if getting rid of it entirely is unwarranted, it might still make sense to roll back its growth, so that it can focus on things where it can really add a lot of value.
I'm curious if you even understand what the Dept. of Ed does. Is it the money, because that is mostly due to Pell and other grant distributions. Is it Title IX and other enforcements? Is it enforcement of the ADA within the education system?
Like what specific functions do you think the Dept. shouldn't be doing or could be scaled back? Because, like the Dept. of Energy (which is really the Dept. of Nuclear Material Management), I think a lot of people don't understand the purpose of the Dept.
