Candidates for president and other federal offices need not discuss education at all. Education is none of the federal government's business. The words education and school appear nowhere in the US Constitution or Bill of Rights. Education should be a matter for states and localities to address.
The US Dept of Education is less than 30 years old. How did we get by for 200+ years without the feds taking care of schools? Like nearly everything it touches, the federal government is doing nothing positive to educate America's children.
"Powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." -- the often ignored 10th Amendment
Unconstitutional!
