There is proof that we need to abolish the Department of Education.

In recent years, the debate over the evident shortcomings of the U.S. education system has intensified. Recurrent criticisms point to the fact that many students lack basic knowledge of the country's history, government structure, or geography—reflecting a concerning intellectual decline.

One of the main targets of these criticisms is the Department of Education (DOE), which is accused of abandoning its original purpose of forming well-educated and critical-thinking citizens. Instead of focusing on core subjects like history, civics, math, or science, the DOE has been criticized for prioritizing the implementation of ideological agendas, especially those related to gender ideology and progressive sexual education, starting at an early age.

This shift in focus has triggered strong reactions from various conservative sectors, who believe that the education system has been co-opted by an ideological vision that does not reflect the country’s traditional values. As a result, proposals have emerged to abolish the Department of Education at the federal level, returning full control of education policy to the states and local districts, with the goal of restoring an emphasis on academic excellence, patriotism, and rigorous instruction in U.S. history and constitutional principles.

In summary, the visible educational deficiencies among large segments of the American youth—combined with the perception of ideological indoctrination in schools—have fueled growing calls to reform or eliminate the Department of Education in pursuit of a system more focused on real academic formation and the foundational values of the country.
