The Department Of Education...Suks

From Michelle Malkin:

First, the U.S. dropped out of a major international math competition this summer. Now comes word that our student’s test scores on a major international reading exam have been rendered invalid because the contractor who printed the tests misnumbered the pages–and the Department of Education failed to proofread the booklets.

The story goes on from there, but the main point is that the Department of Education is not only a political machine, but an incompetent one at that. It's just another example of how the government simply cannot manage anything efficiently or effectively.

That's why it's hard for me to believe it when some people talk about the government needing to get more involved in American life. Are you serious? It's bad enough that the government is ruining our children's education; do we really want them more involved in other things like health care?

There's my two cents.
