Why Did This U.S. Public School Take Millions From China? Here’s The Story That Will Shock You.

A couple of weeks ago, Kamala Harris’ campaign went after me because I said that the Department of Education, along with the public school system, should be burned to the ground, figuratively speaking. Kamala’s campaign didn’t make any kind of argument refuting my position. They just suggested that what I said was crazy, because how can you possibly have a functioning country without a Department of Education? It’s not like we invented the telephone, won two world wars, or landed on the moon without a Department of Education. We definitely needed a Department of Education to do all of that stuff. And I responded to Kamala Harris’ campaign, outlining all of the reasons why the Department of Education and our public school system are a complete disaster.

What I didn’t talk about at the time — and what almost no one ever talks about in this country — is what the alternative is. It’s one thing to point out failures. It’s another thing to suggest tangible improvements. What does it look like to have political leaders who actually care about the education system of their country, and want to make it as good as it can possibly be? What should those leaders be doing, exactly?
