The Dept of Education was started by Jimmy Carter to get the support of the NEA. Education was doing fine. Nobody but the NEA wanted that department.
Education outcomes have only gone downhill since the creation of the Dept of Education.
How do I know? I have lived through it.

That's all fine and good, but underfunding it (and diverting money to private schools, literally robbing people of taxes to make a few individuals more personally wealthy) will make things worse, not better.
