Support H.R. 899 to Abolish the Department of Education
Legislative Alerts
Members of Congress are seeking to pass H.R. 899, which would terminate the unconstitutional and Deep State-controlled Department of Education (DoE).
Contact your U.S. Representative and Senators
Please help abolish the Department of Education by contacting your U.S. representative and senators. Inform them of the department's unconstitutionality, its promotion of Marxist indoctrination, and its dumbing-down of our children.
Why it Matters
URGENT: President Donald Trump has signed an executive order calling for shutting down the U.S. Department of Education, becoming the first president since the department’s creation to take any substantial action toward eliminating it. Despite this order, however, Trump still needs congressional approval to abolish the Department of Education — and legislation to do so has already been introduced. Contact your U.S. representative and senator, and urge them to support H.R. 899 to totally abolish the Department of Education.
Members of Congress are seeking to pass legislation to terminate the unconstitutional and Deep State-controlled Department of Education (DoE).
H.R. 899 is sponsored by U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and cosponsored by 27 other representatives.
Writing in support of a previous iteration of this bill, Rep. Massie stated:
I have introduced a bill to terminate the Department of Education.
There is no Constitutional authority for this federal bureaucracy to exist.
Abolishing the DoE is essential for multiple reasons. First, nowhere does the U.S. Constitution give the federal government any authority over education policy. Under the 10th Amendment, education policy lies with the states and the people. By its very existence and shaping of U.S. education policy, the DoE violates the Constitution.
Additionally, the federalization of U.S. education policy is enabling spread of curriculum that promotes leftist values, historical revisionism, and uniform math and reading standards intended to confound and dumb down students. These include Common Core and the Every Student Succeeds Act that codified the former.
The Left understands that if it can control our children’s education, it will control the future. Having a centralized education department under their influence makes it significantly easier for the Left to accomplish its goals. These damaging policies have persisted since the department’s creation, and simply electing a Republican president will not fix any of them.
The solution is to abolish the DoE and its accompanying bureaucracy and programs, none of which are legal to begin with. Doing so would not only be a major step toward obeying the Constitution, but it would deprive the Deep State of a major tool that it is using to indoctrinate the next generations with Marxist and anti-Americanist ideology.
Tell your U.S. representative and senators to support H.R. 899 and to completely remove the federal government out of education policy.
