The government shutdown exposes the Department of Education unnecessarily

When Washington, DC, grinds to a halt, the liberal media is quick to tell you the sky is falling. Randi Weiggnarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, and Her Union Cronies are complaining that schools will collapse without the Department of Education and that President Donald Trump will be blamed for the closure. He said he “has captured the American people.”

The only people holding the American delegation are the teachers unions. Hold your children’s educational tailors in time. They arrest teachers who are threatened when they do not agree with the standards of freedom. And worst of all those who treat parents as roadblocks and hold them back.

The government is shut down, federal employees at the Department of Education are being furloughed, more than half of the DoE’s workforce is being furloughed, and schools are still open. Teachers teach. Students are learning. The world did not end.

Here’s a truth the media will never say out loud: This shutdown pulled back the curtain on one of the biggest scams in America: the US Department of Education.

For decades, teachers unions and liberal business partners in DC have told the American people that without the Federal Bureaucracy, education will falter. They said that students could not manage education costs, be accountable, or innovate without “Send.”

They were wrong.

Schools continue to operate during the shutdown because the real subject of funding, vision, and other major streams, flows through long-established formulas and planned allocations that continue even if Federal employees are not at their desks. The country already owns these dollars.

The closures only affect administrative processes and operations, not the actual flow of funds to schools. In other words, the Ministry of Education was not “running the system” before this, and the closure proved it.

Trump is using the government shutdown to do something no president has ever done

The shutdown revealed what many of us already know: States can’t afford to run education, they just do. Education in this country is funded and governed mainly at the state and local level. The federal government adds bureaucracy, not value.

Let’s be clear: There was never a reason for the US Department of Education to exist. It was created as a political concession in 1979, an agreement between Jimmy Carter and the teacher unions to lock in their power. And it shows.

Teacher unions are not just one of the many players in this story. They can help you if the Department of Education exists at all. The Department provides them with power, money and political protection, and backs the unions to defend the presence of the Department at every opportunity. One eats the other. That’s why they worked so hard to convince the American people that the country would collapse without them, because without Washington, they lost their power.

Teachers unions have been feeding the Department of Education for decades to make money and influence, ideas to pump up curriculum standards, teacher training programs and accreditation pipelines that tell parents to sit down and shut up.

Now that the Ministry’s lights are off, they are looting. You will see their headlines: “The world is on fire without the Department of Education!” The only thing that is “burning” is a lie that has been faked for 40 years.

Here in the real world, children are learning, teachers are teaching, and parents are back. The system works well without organizational interference.
