Education is a state matter anyway -- why should there be a federal Department of Education?

Show me where in the Constitution the federal government is given the authority to run a Department of Education.

Every Congressperson and Senator is sworn to uphold the Constitution. Now guys like you are trying to make it sound radical if they actually do. We really need someone who doesn't treat the Constitution as "just a goddamned piece of paper". I think the government is so fucked up you're afraid to fix it.
