VIDEO: Get Rid of the U.S. Department of Un-Education

VIDEO: Get Rid of the U.S. Department of Un-Education


Published in Education - 2 mins - Feb 10
(From the Intellectual Ammunition section in Volume 19, No. 3 of the Liberator Online. Subscribe here!) “The Department of Education should be closed and its programs terminated,”says the Cato Institute. “Federal intervention into the nation’s schools has consumed great deals of taxpayer money and created large bureaucracies to administer the funding and regulations. It has produced little, if any, improvement in academic results.” Shutting down the Dept. of Un-Ed would also cut a whopping $50 billion badly-spent dollars annually off the federal budget. That’s about $400 per household – every year. Most people can probably find something better to do with that money. In just two minutes and 20 seconds, this video from the Cato Institute provides some genuinely shocking figures about the U.S. Department of Un-Education, and introduces the powerful case for eliminating it altogether. Share it with friends. Open some minds. And if they (or you) want more info, Cato’s got it right here.
