He does want to get rid of the Department of Education. And he wants to encourage private school tax write-offs. He doesn't care for public schools getting government money for arts either.
The Feds contribute very little to public school education (about 10%) but the legislation they impose, and don't fund, costs schools billions and billions of dollars.
Arts should be funded from private sources.
We need to get out of this fucking hole. Schools would do fine living off state and local funding IF the Feds stayed the eff out of it.
