The federal government does not control education that states do.

The Constitution does not grant the federal government authority over the schools.

The Department of Education is cutting its workforce by half , giving 1300 career employees the boot.

But Democrats are crying foul as they watch their beloved cash cow for union jobs get butchered.

Mimi Watts says the federal government spends 7.8% in public education K-12 through 12 .

She says the majority of that money comes from local governments.

Watts says she thinks the Fed should have more of a role in the education system.

Watts : Americans like this stuff because they respond to clarity and the media never expected that from them.

The federal government ought to be involved in making sure kids can read where they live in Louisiana , California , New York , Tennessee , Georgia or New Jersey .

They shouldn't flourish for most of our history without a Department of Education that was created by Jimmy Carter as a as so to say thank you to the teachers union .
