States/counties/towns/cities already control education in their districts, not the Feds. The Ed department only manages funds for certain mandated (by Congress) programs and makes sure that schools were following the laws passed by Congress.

I don't disagree... but there's a point at which one says "actually 67% of indictments against a sitting president in the last 100 years have been against one man" and yet you can't ask the listener out loud not to consider the fact that the indictments might actually be justified, they have to have already accepted that the oppression must exist. Also, the bumper might fall off yer cybertruck on a freeway.
