Department Of Education

[Reagan]

What exactly is the function/purpose of the federal Department of Education?   I know why it was created.  It was created by Jimma Carter as a payoff to the teachers unions for their support.  I'm sure there is a massive amount of waste there!

It, along with many other federal "departments", should be eliminated.

It serves no good purpose.

I know there are a lot of jobs involved in the space program, but it is a colossal waste of money, imo.  Why do we need to learn how seeds grow in space?

I am sure it is somehow tied to preventing global warming

At least the Space Program has came up with a lot of innovations.  The Dept of Education is nothing but a non functioning money pit.
