I would do away with the Department of Education, and let the states do whatever they want.
The Left is the side that wants a true national educational curriculum...but somehow you find yourselves lamenting when Trump wants his own. Imagine that. I've been warning of this kind of thing for years. Assuming democracy continues, you won't be able to have a Democrat in office 100% of the time, so you would be better off not giving power to government if you are worried about what the Republicans might do with that power. Just don't give that power, and we will have nothing to worry about. You guys love centralized guidelines when you have control of them, but it is an existential crisis when the other side is elected. Such hypocrites.
