The Battle for Our Children’s Future A Constitutionalist’s Cry for Liberty

 

 

Picture this: a small-town schoolhouse, the kind our grandparents might have attended, where a dedicated teacher stands at the front, chalk in hand, shaping young minds with lessons rooted in local values and common sense. Parents and neighbors sit on the school board, deciding what’s best for their kids—not some faceless bureaucrat in Washington, D.C. That’s the America I grew up believing in, a Constitutional Republic where power rests with the people and their states, not a sprawling federal machine. But now, we’re at a crossroads, and the Department of Education is at the heart of the fight. Welcome to #GoRight with Peter Boykin, where we’re diving into the headlines shaking up our nation’s classrooms and asking the tough questions about liberty, control, and the future of our kids.

Folks, we’re living in a time when the soul of our Constitutional Republic is under siege, and nowhere is that clearer than in the debate over the Department of Education. As a Constitutionalist for liberty with a Moderate-to-Conservative Republican slant, I’m here to break down the headlines, lay out the facts, and give you the unvarnished truth about what’s at stake. This isn’t just about policy—it’s about who gets to shape the next generation of Americans. Let’s dig in.

 

Let’s Start with Headlines:

 

Massie Moves to Abolish the Department of Education

Representative Thomas Massie has thrown down the gauntlet with H.R. 899, a bill aimed at dismantling the Department of Education by 2026. This isn’t a tweak or a reform—it’s a full-on demolition, designed to rip out federal oversight of our schools and hand the reins back to states and local communities. Massie’s plan would slash billions in spending and cut through what he calls a choking bureaucracy, sparking a firestorm of debate about whether Washington has any business meddling in our classrooms. This is a clarion call for liberty—a bold move to shred the federal tentacles strangling our schools and return power to where it belongs: the people.

 

The Department of Education’s Final Mission Under McMahon

Linda McMahon, newly confirmed as Education Secretary, has hit the ground running with a bold vision: shrink the federal footprint and restore state oversight. In a statement that’s got patriots cheering and progressives clutching their pearls, she said, “The Department of Education’s role in this new era of accountability is to restore the rightful role of state oversight in education and to end the overreach from Washington.” She’s signaling the endgame—dismantling the agency from within. But can she pull it off, or will Congress slam the brakes? McMahon’s not here to tinker—she’s wielding a sledgehammer to smash what she sees as a bloated relic of big government.

 

Trump’s Push to Decentralize Education Gains Traction

President Donald Trump’s campaign promises to gut the Department of Education is no longer just rhetoric—it’s a movement. With McMahon at the helm and allies like Massie in Congress, the push to decentralize education is picking up steam. The goal? Shift power to the states, where it belongs under our Constitution, and free our schools from what conservatives call a bloated, agenda-driven federal overlord. Trump’s vision is a battering ram against centralized control, rallying patriots who see Washington as a meddling tyrant in our kids’ classrooms.

 

 

What Does the Department of Education Actually Do?

 

Let’s get the facts straight. The U.S. Department of Education, created in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter, isn’t the puppet master pulling strings in every classroom. It doesn’t hire teachers, set curricula, determine school hours, or manage discipline—those powers rest firmly with state departments of education and local school districts, as they should in a Constitutional Republic. So what does it do? Plenty.

 

Funding: The department oversees billions in federal dollars, like Title I funds for low-income schools, special education grants under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and Pell Grants for college students. It’s the pipeline for about 10% of public school funding nationwide, though that number spikes to 20-25% in poorer rural and urban districts.

 

Civil Rights Enforcement: Through its Office for Civil Rights, it investigates discrimination claims—think Title IX battles over gender policies or ensuring disabled kids get a fair shot.

 

Student Loans: It manages the federal student loan system, including Stafford Loans and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), touching millions of college hopefuls.

 

Data and Standards: It collects stats and nudges states toward accountability, though it can’t dictate what’s taught—federal law forbids it.

 

In short, it’s a money mover, a watchdog, and a data hub—not a dictator. But here’s where the rubber meets the road: critics say it’s morphed into a tool for federal overreach, while defenders argue it’s a lifeline for kids who’d otherwise fall through the cracks.

 

 

Why Keep the Department of Education?

 

Now, let’s talk about why this agency might deserve to stick around. In a nation as vast as ours, education gaps are real—between rich suburbs and struggling cities, between states with fat budgets and those scraping by. The Department of Education levels the playing field, or at least tries to. Title I funds prop up schools in places like Pulaski County, Virginia, where local taxes can’t cover the basics. Special education dollars ensure kids with disabilities aren’t shoved into the shadows. And Pell Grants give low-income students a shot at college they’d never get otherwise.

 

Here’s an opinion I’ll own: without a federal backstop, we risk a patchwork system where some states soar and others sink, leaving kids’ futures to the luck of their ZIP code. Streamlining education across the board—setting baseline standards, sharing best practices—could get our country back on track. Imagine if the department had more teeth to unify our fractured system, not less. We’re a Constitutional Republic, yes, but that doesn’t mean chaos is the answer.

 

 

Why Shut It Down?

 

On the flip side, the case for abolition is rooted in first principles. The Constitution doesn’t mention education—period. That silence means it’s a state power under the 10th Amendment, and folks like Massie and Trump argue Washington’s meddling is unconstitutional. They’ve got a point: the department’s budget ballooned during COVID, funding everything from ventilators to virtual classes, and conservatives say it’s become a cash cow for progressive pet projects—think diversity initiatives or student loan forgiveness they call illegal handouts.

 

McMahon’s take—“the excessive consolidation of power in Washington was harming education”—resonates with liberty lovers. Local control means parents and communities, not D.C. elites, decide what’s best. And here’s an opinion from the right: the department’s a bloated mess, with 4,100 employees pushing paper while states and districts do the real work. Cut it, save billions, and let freedom ring—or so the argument goes.

 

 

Who Really Holds the Power?

 

Let’s clear the fog: the Department of Education has no authority over the nuts and bolts of schooling. States set standards. Districts hire teachers, pick textbooks, and handle discipline. The feds can’t even peek inside your kid’s classroom without breaking the law. So why the fuss? Critics say it’s not about power—it’s about influence. Federal dollars come with strings, nudging states to toe the line on policies like testing or transgender bathroom rules. Abolitionists argue that ending it would snap those strings, giving states pure sovereignty. But here’s the kicker: Congress, not the department, allocates the cash. Shutting it down might just shift the bureaucracy elsewhere—say, to the Treasury—without changing much.

 

 

How Is It Ruining Things—and How Would Ending It Help?

 

The rap sheet against the department is long. Republicans blast it for pushing “critical race theory” (a law school concept, not a K-12 staple) or woke agendas, though evidence of that is thin—more noise than fact. Teachers’ unions and parents fear cuts to special ed and Title I would gut support for vulnerable kids, a claim backed by Ohio educators who say 10-25% of their budgets could vanish. Yet abolitionists counter that states could pick up the slack, free from federal red tape. My take? That’s a gamble—some states might step up, but others, strapped for cash, might not. How’s that better? I’d love to know.

 

 

Could It Make Things Better—or Worse?

 

Here’s the million-dollar question: if the department’s powerless over curricula and teachers, how does axing it fix anything? Maybe it’s symbolic—a middle finger to federal overreach. Maybe it’s practical, trimming fat. But if we’re honest, education’s mess—falling test scores, teacher shortages—won’t magically heal without a referee. I’d argue (opinion alert) that a smarter move might be reforming the department, giving it real tools to standardize excellence, not just shuffle money. Decentralization’s noble, but chaos isn’t progress.

 

 

 

#GoRight Recap/Remix

 

So, here’s the remix: Massie’s swinging the axe with H.R. 899, McMahon’s plotting the department’s swan song, and Trump’s cheering from the sidelines—all to reclaim education for the states. The Department of Education funds, enforces, and tracks—but it doesn’t run the show. Keep it, and we might bridge gaps for kids in need; kill it, and we roll the dice on liberty versus anarchy. This is our Constitutional Republic at a fork in the road—do we trust ourselves to govern locally, or lean on a federal safety net? I say let’s think hard before we torch it, because our kids deserve better than a coin toss.
