I agree with the libertarian view of DOE and many other agencies.
This is from the DOE. I couldn't have said it better. "We don't have a real job and don't give any significant assistance to the states and school districts."
Education is primarily a State and local responsibility in the United States. It is States and communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, that establish schools and colleges, develop curricula, and determine requirements for enrollment and graduation. The structure of education finance in America reflects this predominant State and local role. Of an estimated $1.15 trillion being spent nationwide on education at all levels for school year 2012-2013, a substantial majority will come from State, local, and private sources. This is especially true at the elementary and secondary level, where about 92 percent of the funds will come from non-Federal sources.
That means the Federal contribution to elementary and secondary education is about 8 percent, which includes funds not only from the Department of Education (ED) but also from other Federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services' Head Start program and the Department of Agriculture's School Lunch program.

Donna,
The Heritage Foundation. Baha.
The GOP is the home of openness and inclusion, acceptance, diversity, tolerance and freethinking.
The Heritage Foundation is absolutely, certainly, going to be a part of the conversation if Trump should happen to win but, as you Lutherans know, Jesus said, "Let not your hearts be troubled."
It'll be fine.
