GOP senator says he's working with Trump on bill to abolish Education Department

FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., said he has been in discussions with President Trump's White House to revive his bill to dismantle the Department of Education, which would codify the latest executive order. In the lead up to Trump's much-anticipated executive order to abolish the department, his administration had been in talks with a longtime advocate of doing so: Rounds. His office shared with Fox News Digital that the senator and Trump's White House have talked about bringing back his bill to abolish the department and pushing for it. 

Rounds is planning to re-introduce the bill now that Trump has signed the executive order. 

"The federal BUREAUCRACY of Education has never educated a single student," the senator told Fox News Digital in a statement. "It’s time to shut it down. Today’s news is a step in the right direction. Congress should follow the executive branch’s lead and act accordingly. I am working on legislation that would return education decisions to states and local school districts while maintaining important programs like special education and Title I. We are discussing this legislation with Secretary McMahon, and we believe there is a very good path forward."

Points to ponder.

1. The Department Of Education was a Jimmy KKKarter gift to the Teacher's Union, in 1979. The quality of education in America has deteriorated ever since.

2. The bureaucrats at DOE are not educators. NONE of them have ever stood before a class of public school students.

3. NO STUDENTS have EVER been educated by this useless expensive department.

4. Federal Government contribution to public education amounts to less than 7 percent. Most of the funding raised for education is done at the county level, by property taxes. The DOE sends useless mandates while gum up the works at real schools.

Oh, by the way, for the really sensitive types here who are easily triggered,

It will never pass the Senate. Too many people with disabled kids rely on the DoEd to ensure there is special education for their children, because so many states just WON'T PROVIDE IT.

I knew it. YOU'RE A MOReON. 

The Department Of Education does NOT fund special education. Those funds are raised at the LOCAL COUNTY LEVEL.
I work in two Florida counties as a substitute teacher. I have occasionally subbed for ESE classes, (formerly known as special ED.) I wasn't paid by the Department of Education.

To bring that small mind of yours back up to reality, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR SEVEN  PERCENT OF ALL EDUCATION FUNDING.

Those are the facts, and
