Trump's Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says the federal department she once led should be ABOLISHED at conference where teachers unions are branded 'K-12 cartels' for their obstruction during pandemic

By KATELYN CARALLE, U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM


Betsy DeVos, the one time head of Donald Trump's Education Department, said at an education summit in Tampa, Florida on Saturday that the federal department should be abolished.

'I personally think the Department of Education should not exist,' DeVos told the crowd at the Moms for Liberty summit, according to the Florida Phoenix, during her keynote address.

The denunciation of the department she once led came at a three-summit meant to train their members from 30 states to create conservative majorities on their local school boards.


The woman who interviewed DeVos over the weekend, the group's co-founder Tiffany Justice, called teacher unions a 'K-12 cartel' during the summit, but insisted: 'We love teachers here at Moms for Liberty.'

Moms for Liberty is calling their efforts the parental-rights movement, which emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic due to widespread opposition to making and vaccine mandates in public schools.

DeVos' call to get rid of the DOE is not a novel idea.

Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced a bill in 2021 that would abolish the Education Department.

'Unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., should not be in charge of our children's intellectual and moral development,' Massie said at the time of unveiling the bill.

Co-signers included many pro-Trump conservative members of the House, including Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Matt Gaetz of Florida.

Help Abolish the Department of Education


Alert Summary

Members of Congress are seeking to pass legislation to terminate the unconstitutional and Deep State-controlled Department of Education (DoE).

H.R. 899 is sponsored by Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and co-sponsored by 16 additional representatives, while S. 323 is sponsored by Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.). The two bills are identical; they consist of only a single sentence that states: “The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2022.”
Writing in support of his bill, Rep. Massie stated:

I attended Kentucky public schools K through 12, as did my wife. All four of our kids attended public school in Kentucky too. I’m pro education, but the US Department of Education is not good for education. Let’s end it. My one sentence bill HR 899 would do just that.
​

Abolishing the DoE is essential for multiple reasons. First, nowhere does the U.S. Constitution give the federal government any authority over education policy. Under the 10th Amendment, education policy lies with the states and the people. By its very existence and shaping of U.S. education policy, the DoE violates the Constitution.

Additionally, the federalization of U.S. education policy is enabling spread of curriculum that promotes left-wing values and that dumbs down students. These include Common Core and the Every Student Succeeds Act that codified the former. Furthermore, the Biden DoE is actively promoting critical race theory and the 1619 Project.

The Left understands that if it can control our children’s education, it will control the future. Having a centralized education department under their influence makes it significantly easier for the Left to accomplish its goals. These damaging policies have persisted since the department’s creation, and simply electing a Republican president will not fix any of them.

The solution is to abolish the DoE and its accompanying bureaucracy and programs, none of which are legal to begin with. Doing so would not only be a major step toward obeying the Constitution, but it would deprive the Deep State of a major tool that it is using to indoctrinate the next generations with Marxist and anti-Americanist ideology.


Tell your U.S. representative and senators to support H.R. 899 and S. 323 and to completely get the federal government out of education policy.
