Campus Technology: On the same day that Betsy DeVos spoke to her staff as the new head of the United States Department of Education, a member of Congress from Kentucky who spent years living off the grid with his family and is a favorite of the Tea Party has introduced a bill to eliminate the department altogether.
H.R. 899, introduced by U.S. Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY), is a single sentence long: "The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2018."
The bill already has support by seven co-sponsors: Representatives Justin Amash (R-MI), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Jody Hice (R-GA), Walter Jones (R-NC) and Raul Labrador (R-ID)
