Republican senator introduces legislation to get rid of Department of Education

(JUST THE NEWS) – Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., introduced a measure that would abolish the Department of Education, amid President-elect Donald Trump’s promise to send education back to the states. The legislation is titled “Returning Education to Our States Act,” according to Fox News.

“The federal Department of Education has never educated a single student, and it’s long past time to end this bureaucratic Department that causes more harm than good,” Rounds told the outlet. “We all know local control is best when it comes to education.”

He added that local school boards and local education departments “know best” for educating students in their area.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
