the experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars — and the unaccountable bureaucracy those programs and dollars support — has plainly failed our children, our teachers, and our families.

To be replaced by 50 larger duplicating bureaucracies.

One of the biggest functions of the department is higher education student loans. I'm unsure that is duplicated at state level, or as easy for them to get banking relationships to facilitate them.
