When the department of education was founded most children with disabilities were ‘educated’ in separate schools without any chance of integrating into society. Their enforcement of the IDEA is a great accomplishment no matter which side of the isle you fall on.

It ensured children with disabilities or who’s first language wasn’t english got the same education as other students. It ensured schools got the funding they needed so all students could receive a good education. It helped low-income students attend college through loans.

I mean they said no accomplishments. That’s one, as well as the enforcement of equal protection, before the DOE children that came not speaking English had 0 access to ESL support and were basically just left to their own devices. Before the DOE there wasn’t effective federal enforcement of civil rights laws in public schools. Before the DOE the poorest schools had no access to basic support like reading and math tutors to aid the poorest children in the nation. There are a lot of benefits.

I recognize you don’t, but those are consistent benefits to the American people from our public schools

That’s the issue, you fundamentally don’t understand what the DOE does. You think test scores are a federal responsibility? Our system is set up to give almost total control to the state and local schools, the federal governments role is to help enforce federal mandates like the IDEA and the Civil rights act.

I’m just saying you don’t understand the difference between state, local, and federal responsibility in education and just blame the DOE for all issues.
