Results are inversely proportional to every single dime put in after legitimate functions of any government program are funded.
Although she is correct in what she speaks, eliminating the agency wholesale would, in my opinion, not budge the “embicile” meter one inch.
The problem lies in the individual states bending the knee to the teachers unions, which are made up of radical feminists communists (or communist feminists, it’s hard to tell which cause they align most with).
Although my kids are adults now, I’ve been pounding the drum for decades in favor of the school voucher system. If you use the public school system (as detrimental as that is) then your state taxes remain the same, but if you opt out and use either private religious schools or home school, you get a tax credit that offsets the extra cost of educating your kids.
The teachers unions have declared this the beach they are willing to die on. They suck at their job, can’t educate, only indoctrinate, and if measured against any international standard, would be exposed as incompetents. This is why they are such big contributors to Democrats……….quid pro quo.

Education has been trainwrecked by Marxism. The DOE has been the catalyst and should be eliminated. Federal oversight of the educational system should only be necessary if there is corruption, abuse or miss management at the state level that can’t be resolved by state authorities or legislation. That can be handled by a federal law.
Creating another Central planning agency to oversee the educational system can again, be used as a conduit for money laundering and Marxist indoctrination when a Democrat Administration is in control. Therefore, the DOE should not continue to exist.
