Abolishing the Department of Education is emerging as a favorite talking point among the 2024 Republican presidential candidates who say they would rein in a runaway federal bureaucracy if elected.
The agency, which was established in 1980, has long been a favorite punching bag of Republicans, with President Ronald Reagan among the first Republican standard-bearers to declare the department unnecessary and call for its elimination.
DeVos, who has called for shutting down the department herself, said that the agency's creation during the presidency of Jimmy Carter was a"payoff" to the teachers unions that supported Carter's campaign in 1976. "What I’m also going to do ... is be prepared if Congress won’t go that far," DeSantis said."I’m going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life. So for example, with the Department of Education: we reverse all the transgender sports stuff. Women's sports should be protected. We reverse policies trying to inject [agendas into] the curriculum in our schools. That will all be gone.
Haley, who served as governor of South Carolina before her appointment to the U.N. ambassadorship, also declined to commit to the department's elimination in a recent interview, but said she would"would send a team into every single agency and tell them to cut regulations, cut bureaucracy, take out any people that are problems."
