Crazy Eyes: We Don't Need No Education

"The Constitution does not specifically enumerate nor does it give to the federal government the role and duty to superintend over education. That historically has been held by the parents and by local communities and by state government. To put that into the federal government as we saw a Department of Education in the late 1970s has eviscerated the constitutional understanding that the control of education truly lies with the parents."- Rep. Michele Bachmann, telling a South Carolina audience that if elected, she will abolish the Department of Education.
