Department of Education

I have no problem with having a DoE. As long as no one works there and no money is given or spent.

Having the federal govt holding money over states head to do what they tell them to do is wrong. If states want to attract a quality workforce, have a higher standard of living, they will fund education like it should be. Plus all the other benefits that an educated populace does for a state.
 
Looking at the goals of the DOE one has to ask, have they made things better or worse? Based on what I see the answer is they are failing miserably

The goals of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) include:
  • Student achievement: To promote student achievement and prepare students for global competitiveness
  • Equal access: To ensure equal access to education for all individuals
  • Educational excellence: To foster educational excellence
  • Federal assistance: To administer and coordinate most federal assistance to education
  • Education policy: To establish policy for education
    • Federal education programs: To improve the coordination and management of federal education programs
    • Federal education accountability: To increase the accountability of federal education programs to the public, Congress, and the President
