David Rothkopf : Project 2025 has revived discussion of ending the U.S. Department of Education .

He says eliminating the programs it administers, many of which predate the department, is just as important.

He notes the department became the K-12 controller that Shanker feared, peaking with the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) He says the Constitution gives the federal government no authority to govern education, but the feds need relatively little money to exert power.
