Uh, wouldn't this actually be called something like "the US Department of Education"?
It's been a rousing success, too - it's allowed our Ministry of Truth to claim things like "comrades! Our production of students that pass the standardized test is up 85% this quarter!".
It's all about families, man. Good families teach people what's really important - not federal departments of anonymoustaxeatingbureaucrat.
