Don't worry. When the next administration gets rid of the Department of Education, we won't have any idea how bad things are.

The Department of Education was founded in 1980. Are you worried we'll lose all the massive improvements in education we've seen since then?

		That comment takes all facts and context out of the discussion and does not inform. Do you know what Title 1 is? 504? IDEA? I'm not going to defend garbage laws like No Child Left Behind, mind you, ask any teacher how terrible that law is. But both my kids, one autistic, one ADHD, have heavily depended on section 504 for their education. As for any decline in education, I would look instead at the anti-intellectual so-called 'family values' that have been on the rise since 1980.
