Today, momentarily, imminently, right around the corner, President Donald Trump will be signing an executive order, a major executive order, to keep one of his campaign promises, one that we care about deeply here on The Charlie Kirk Show, which is the abolishment, the abolition, the elimination of the Department of Education.
The Department of Education was created in the 1970s under President Jimmy Carter. who separate it from what it was previously called the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Now, I think that is worthy of a little bit of a pause. That means we were able to send a man to the moon, win two world wars, become an industrial superpower, a world superpower, balance our budget, build the world's greatest middle class, have a well-read, well-grounded citizenry without a federal Department of Education. We were able to become the envy of the planet without a centralized bureaucracy called the Department of Education. How were we able to do that? Well, for most of America, education happened between parent and child, pastor and child, community and child. For most of American history, it was local, local, local, because education is the most personal of all the things. It happens in the soul of an individual. Education is very hard to put 2,000 miles away in a bleak, downtrodden building.
Basically a glorified cabinet file. Our founding framers and our founding fathers were classically educated. They studied the great books. They understood the big ideas of human nature. They could tell you what was good or evil, holy or profane, right or wrong, the difference between a citizen and a serf. Now when I go to college campuses, they can't tell me what a woman is. They can't tell me what a man is. We went from an education system that would explore eternal truth. One that would challenge children. to go after what is beautiful and what is good. And instead, we gravitated away towards an administrative state model of education. The Germans, which have a tendency to introduce the worst ideas imaginable, introduced this idea of historicism coupled with historicism, which is an idea that history has an endpoint and we must keep on growing the state to get us closer to that endpoint. It is Hegelian in nature. was this idea of the administrative approach to education.
This was largely authored by people such as John Dewey, Woodrow Wilson. They wanted the centralization of education, that no longer should parents be in charge of education, no longer should churches or synagogues or communities, but we need to prepare students to become good worker bees.
