Representative Thomas Massie (Email: massie.press@mail.house.gov and Tel: 202.225.3546) announces that he has introduced H.R. 899, a bill to abolish the federal Department of Education. The bill, which is one sentence long, states, The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2022.
"Unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. should not be in charge of our childrens intellectual and moral development," said Massie. "States and local communities are best positioned to shape curricula that meet the needs of their students. Schools should be accountable. Parents have the right to choose the most appropriate educational opportunity for their children, including home school, public school, or private school."

"Pellucidly Clear"--at the Supreme Court, the NY Court of Appeals, & Elsewhere (An Impressive & Fascinating Pedigree)
Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, New York Chief Judge Judith Kaye, California Supreme Court Justice Stanley Mosk, Federal 2d Circuit Judge Henry Friendly. They used it. "Pellucidly clear," that is.
"Pellucidly clear" appears in 16 cases in Supreme Court history. Its vintage at the Court is quite recent. It was first used in the 1980 decision in Thomas v. Washington Gas Light Co. Writing the Court's opinion, Justice Stevens said of the issue to be resolved: "The answer to this question is pellucidly clear."
And thus began the Supreme Court's --actually Stevens'--veritable love affair with the phrase. It was Stevens, the leader of the Court's liberal wing, who used it in every one of the 16 cases.
Justice Antonin Scalia, the Court's most outspoken conservative, did use the phrase in one of those cases. He did so in his 2007 dissent in Zuni Pub. Sch. Dist. v. Dept. of Educ. But he was only mimicking Stevens who had used the phrase in the majority opinion. So it's clear that Stevens' use was serious, while Scalia's was pellucidly sarcastic.

(67,782 posts)...(doubt she understands the word!) that a high school dropout would want to eliminate the Department of Education.
After her little screw up in 2017 when she poisoned 80 customers with her tainted pulled pork sandwiches, she probably wants to eliminate the Colorado Department of Health.
