Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is introducing legislation that would abolish the federal education department.

The bill, H.R.899, is only one sentence and states: “The Department of Education Shall Terminate on December 31, 2018.”

Massie introduces the measure as Betsy DeVos is confirmed as the next secretary of the U.S. Education Department. Grassroots parent activists had urged that the federal department be dismantled.

“Neither Congress nor the President, through his appointees, has the constitutional authority to dictate how and what our children must learn,” Massie said in a press release announcing the bill.

I thought this was the end game all along.  Betsy DeVos was only meant to be caretaker of the department until it is dismantled. 

Don't know if Rep. Massie's bill will go anywhere right now, but it's a start.

Thomas Massie is about to get the stomping of a lifetime by his own party I think.
