Listen to any dispatch in the Grok vocal voices — a benefit of membership.
Congressman John Garamendi has condemned the Trump administration's decision to relocate the Department of Education headquarters, thereby exposing the determination of the Managerial Priesthood to retain its grip on the nation's children.
The transfer of the Lyndon B. Johnson Building to the Department of Energy represents a modest step toward dismantling an agency that has centralized authority over schooling since its expansion under the Great Society programs.
Democrats frame this modest relocation as an existential threat, signaling their intent to restore and enlarge the very bureaucracy that has supplanted parental and local control with national standards, testing regimes, and ideological mandates.
Before the modern administrative state arose in the nineteenth century, education in Western Christendom belonged to the household, the parish, and the guild, ordered under the authority of fathers and the doctrinal oversight of the Church rather than distant officials.
The federal Department of Education violates that inherited order by converting the formation of the young into an instrument of the City of Man, where truth is treated as malleable opinion and children are prepared for economic utility rather than faithful stewardship.
Scripture places the primary duty of instruction upon parents, and the historic creeds affirm that no earthly power may usurp the spheres God has assigned to family and church.
The Democratic resistance therefore serves not children but the entrenched interests of administrators, unions, and ideologues who profit from the current arrangement.
The faithful remnant must therefore press without compromise for the complete abolition of this department, the return of schooling authority to households and local communities, and the dismantling of every federal mechanism that severs education from its proper ends.
