And I'd love to join again.
I could have kept going for another couple hours.
It was so fun.
So thank you.
Since 1980, we have data on this. Per-student spending has increased by about 108% after adjusting for inflation. Have the outcomes gotten 108% better? No, they obviously haven't.
We should get rid of the Department of Education altogether. Since 1980, we have data on this. Per student spending has increased by about 108% after adjusting for inflation. Have the outcomes gotten 108% better recently? No, they obviously haven't. It was created with the explicit purpose of closing achievement gaps and improving student outcomes. It hasn't done either of those things.
The proof is in the pudding. We have 45 years of data now, and it's time to return education back to the states where it belongs.
Students with special needs are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to education in our country, and it's because they're stuck in a one-size-fits-all system. And the Department of Education, even though they include red tape and regulations around these ideas, doesn't mean that it's actually producing better outcomes for those kids.
And then any useful programs like special needs initiatives would move under other departments. Student loans have been announced to be moved under the Small Business Administration. Department of Justice would handle civil rights issues. Head Start, if you like the pre-K programs, those move under the Department of Health and Human Services as well.
And you have people like Randi Weingarten crying about this. And it's not because she's concerned about the kids. She's concerned about her own gravy train coming to an end. She sees that she can lobby one institution, the department, better than lobbying a lot of different institutions. And so she feels like she can wield more influence in Washington, D.C. than in individual states.
When people can vote with their feet, The schools improve in response to competition. We've seen this time and time again. Most recently in Florida, they went all in on school choice. And a couple decades ago, before they had school choice, they were at the bottom of the pack on the nation's report card. Now you fast forward to today. Florida is number one on education, according to U.S.
News and World Report. And it's not a money issue. Money doesn't solve problems, especially when the system is broken. Florida spends 27% less than the national average per student in the public schools, and they're knocking it out of the park because they have competition.
They unanimously voted against this protecting girls' sports, which is an 80-20 issue. You got to think they're going to lose some seats over this issue in the midterms. Maybe after 2026, Trump and the Republicans will have a better chance at fully eradicating the department. But what I am hopeful about is You only need 51 votes in the budget reconciliation process.
So there are things Republicans can do to give this department death by a thousand cuts, including reducing or changing mandatory spending patterns. And Trump's already started this process with his executive order, and Linda has fired half the department. They oh, we're halfway there if we could only get 100% of the way there.
But it does require an act of Congress because it was created by an act of Congress.
And then there's a teacher certification monopoly. And that trickles down from the university level into the K through 12 system.
I'd also say on the teenage pregnancy thing, we found a reduction in crime, but also a 38% reduction in paternity disputes, which could be caused by out-of-wedlock births or teenage pregnancies. Another separate study in New York City was a charter school experiment.
They found that winning a lottery to go to a charter school in New York City decreased the likelihood of crime for male students by 100%.
Am I pronouncing that exactly right? Yeah, DeAngelis like Los Angeles, but I'm not a real doctor. I'm more like a Jill Biden doctor. Got a PhD in education policy. Oh, yes. Where from? University of Arkansas. I see. When did you get that? Pretty recently, actually. Well, I'm getting older now. It's 2018 or so. I got the PhD. And I studied school choice policy. How come you didn't get brainwashed?
I didn't. It was actually the Department of Education Reform. So 99% of education PhDs are Marxist institutions. Yes. This one was housed in the College of Education, but not a lot of people liked us there because it was the Department of Education Reform. Just the very name of the department implied that we're trying to shake things up to try to improve the education.
