Abolishing the Department of Education isn’t an attack on teachers, nor is it a blanket judgment on every employee within the system. But let’s be honest—the results speak for themselves. Since the slow march of a Marxist, godless agenda through our institutions began, our children have paid the price.
The U.S. Department of Education has spent $ 3+ trillion since 1979. In that time, per-pupil spending has increased by more than 245%, and yet we have virtually nothing to show for it. We’ve watched as depression and suicide rates among teens have skyrocketed, and gender confusion is now being celebrated and pushed as “normal.”
Meanwhile, literacy and math scores are plummeting:
- Six in ten fourth graders and nearly three-quarters of eighth graders are not proficient in math.
- Seven in ten fourth and eighth graders are not proficient in reading.
- 40% of fourth-grade students don’t even meet basic reading levels.
- Standardized test scores have remained flat for decades.
- U.S. students now rank 28th out of 37 developed nations in math.
Where are those billions going? Clearly, it is not toward strengthening the minds or souls of our kids. Instead, the system has been hijacked by progressive activists more focused on indoctrination than instruction.
It’s no coincidence that this academic and moral decline runs parallel with a culture that has rejected God’s truth and replaced it with confusion, moral chaos, and identity crisis.
That’s why Trump’s move to abolish the Department of Education is not just political — it’s a necessary step for the survival of our nation. To be clear, Trump is doing the opposite of what Hitler did. Hitler didn’t dismantle his version of a Department of Education — he expanded it and weaponized it to indoctrinate the youth. That’s why he infamously declared, “He who owns the youth gains the future.”
Translation: A nation that indoctrinates its children is destroying its future. But a nation that protects truth in education has a future worth fighting for.
And make no mistake: Removing the DOE will not remove the laws that protect students. Programs like special education, Title regulations, Pell Grants, ESEA, ADA, and civil rights laws will still be enforced — just by existing agencies that already handle them.
In fact, dismantling the federal bureaucracy could mean more money reaches students, schools, and districts instead of getting swallowed by layers of waste. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The DOE has been an utter failure. This move is a step toward local control, parental influence, and educational clarity.
So to those who place their hope in local school boards and their local Department of Education — how could you not celebrate this development? We need to return to truth — to the values that build strong minds, strong families, and strong faith.
The future of America depends on it.
