by Wallace Garneau,America Outloud:
A lean education system would eliminate structures whose primary function is to manage belief rather than produce knowledge.
This starts with the Department of Education.
The Department of Education must be eliminated.
People will say this is a radical idea, but we did not even have a Department of Education until 1980, and the Department of Education is the root of the problem that led to the failure of American education.

Education exists to transmit competence, not to shape ideology. Any system designed to enforce conformity of thought, suppress disagreement, or privilege approved conclusions over honest inquiry is incompatible with learning. Such systems may be stable, but they are sterile. They produce compliance, not understanding.
None of this is radical. It is simply a return to first principles. Lean systems begin with purpose, align incentives with outcomes, and eliminate anything that does not add value. Applied to education, those principles point in one direction, and that direction leads toward students, toward thinking, and toward truth. Anything that pulls the system away from those ends should be treated as waste.
Dell Computers used to use the tagline, “Dude, you got a Dell!”
At the time, Dell was making some of the best computers in the world, so it made sense to lean into its brand this heavily. Then Dell went public, accountants put short-term profits ahead of quality and performance, and within a few years, people would ask, “Dude, you got aDell?!?”
