To terminate the Department of Education.

Bill 119 HR 899, also known as the "To terminate the Department of Education" bill, was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of abolishing the Department of Education. The bill was sponsored by Representative Thomas Massie and co-sponsored by seven other representatives.

If passed, this bill would effectively eliminate the Department of Education, which was established in 1979. The Department of Education is responsible for overseeing federal education policies and programs, including student loans, grants, and civil rights enforcement in schools.

Proponents of the bill argue that the Department of Education is unnecessary and that education policy should be left to the states and local governments. They believe that the federal government has overstepped its bounds in education and that abolishing the department would lead to more local control and better educational outcomes. Opponents of the bill argue that the Department of Education plays a crucial role in ensuring equal access to education for all students, regardless of their background. They believe that eliminating the department would be detrimental to students, particularly those from marginalized communities who rely on federal funding and support. As of now, the bill has not progressed beyond the introduction stage and it remains to be seen whether it will gain enough support to pass in Congress. It has sparked a debate about the role of the federal government in education and the best way to ensure quality education for all students in the United States.
