Trump prepares EO to close down the unconstitutional federal department of education

White House preparing executive order to abolish the Education Department

President Donald Trump promised for years to abolish the department — which he can't do without congressional approval.

The truth is, there is no provision listed beneath Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, [Congress’s power to lay and collect taxes] allowing for a federal “Department of Education”


In fact, prior to the adoption of our existing Constitution, the People of Maryland delegated the power for a state funded and regulated educational system to their state elected officials, and not to a national governing power --- the wording being as follows:



“The General Assembly, at its First Session after the adoption of this Constitution, shall by Law establish throughout the State a thorough and efficient System of Free Public Schools; and shall provide by taxation, or otherwise, for their maintenance.”


The Maryland Constitutional also states, in emphatic terms:

“the People of this State have the sole and exclusive right of regulating the internal government and police thereof, as a free, sovereign and independent State.”


In fact, under Art. 3 of Maryland’s Constitution, the command is for local regulation and funding of education as opposed to a federally funded and regulated public school system!

The Maryland Constitution also states:


“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution thereof, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people thereof.”

This very provision of Maryland’s Declaration of Rights is also agreed to by the People of the United States by their ratification of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States!

Now, with respect to our federal Constitution and its delegated powers, upon researching the record of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, we find Delegate Charles Pickney, on August 18th, proposed a broad power "To establish seminaries for the promotion of literature and the arts and sciences", but this proposal was rejected by the Convention in favor of a limited grant of power expressed in Article 1, Section 8, Cl.8, of the proposed constitution. The limited power, later agreed upon by ratification of our Constitution authorizes Congress "[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts” and what is authorized to accomplish this? by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."

The fact is, the federal Department of Education and its current functions are in defiance of the defined and limited powers granted to Congress. And every time a member of Congress votes to fund this agency they are committing a fraud upon the people of the United States and are usurping a power not granted!

So, why are members of Congress funding this rouge agency?

It's like funding thousands of unelected bureaucrats, exactly like Elon Musk, only, Elon works for free.

I just love it when Dims complain of Elon being an unelected official making government decisions, as if that is not Ok when the entire Executive Branch is made up of these types of Elons that they have absolutely no problem with.

Trump should also close down the unconstitutional National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities.​

Are we to forget how both have openly participated in indoctrination, propaganda, and use of tax dollars to display sexual deviant behavior such as Andres Serrano's anti-Christian bigotry called "P*** Christ"; Robert Mapplethorpe’s homosexual display called “The Perfect Moment”; Annie Sprinkle’s pornographic performances at a New York theater; Karen Finley, “the nude, chocolate smeared women”; Kyle Abraham’s “The Watershed and When the Wolves Came In” focusing on sexual identity; a 2016 festival for sexual deviant singing groups who appeared in a “flash mob” in Denver; taxpayer financing for a sexual deviant festival in San Francisco; funding for the Feminist Press at the City University of New York to digitize classic LGBT titles; an open mic group in D.C for story telling about “Queer Culture in America"; and the latest venomous and hateful smut on display financed by tax revenue being Shakespeare In Central Park depicting the violent murder of President Trump.

Our Founders were absolutely correct to limit Congress’ power to “… securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries”​

the reason congress fund is because they created a federal law in 1979 for it.

It is being funded is a misappropriation of federal revenue. The President has taken an oath to support the Constitution.

Interesting that you mention Maryland law in that. Here in dysfunctional Maryland, teachers have their wages garnished to pay NEA dues whether they want representation or not. The NEA then donates to the DNC. Taxpayers are essentially forced to subsidize the democrat party.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

DEO needs solid reform, but closing is not the answer.

Congress created it, and Trump can't EO it out of existence.

So back to the courts to freeze him.

Don't worry The moment Trump does something unconstitutional is a branch of government called the judiciary that will step in and remind him. If they're not stepping in it's because they know he's doing what he's able to do constitutionally.

Congress established the Dept of Education in the 1970's and I don't think Trump has the authority to abolish it. But I'm pretty sure I remember that was on the Republican Party platform and a GOP controlled House and Senate certainly has the power to abolish it.

Education has declined so much since the 1970's, I suspect even a few Democrats might agree the Dept of Education has accomplished little or nothing to promote education and possibly has even hindered it.

This is the smallest of cabinet level departments with 4400 employees, but it should save us at least $79 billion if Congress does abolish it.

SCOTUS can decide that....In about 2.5 years.

In fact, the public is not against cost cutting and once justifiable cuts have been made have no desire to see it return. That cuts across party lines and to those not even affiliated with a party which is the majority of voters now.

See the listed functions beneath Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, of our Constitution, for which Congress may tax and spend.

Where to you find a Department of Education?
