The Wall Street Journal has a (paywalled) article about how the Department of Education was something the KKK wanted.
So we're racists if we think that the DoE has some things we want to keep now?
The dates they throw around, though, tell the tale of you take the time to look.
1920's KKK wanted a protestant, white education system were Americans were the product.
Health, Education and Welfare didn't come about until 1953.
DoE didn't get split off from them until 1979.
The Klan was not a major political player at either point, sorry Mr Hamburger.
But if we're going to tear down something every time we find a bigot agrees with it, we're going to have damn few things left. Say the stopped clock of bigotry can be right twice a day and move on (bigotry relies on twisting an apparent truth, it's never completely made up from whole cloth).
Especially since a unified education system that produces Americans would actually be a good thing.
Input huddled masses yearning to be free: Output critically thinking, productive, American citizens.
Notice that I don't mention race, religion, sex, gender, etc.?
Americans come in all colors and flavors.
E Pluribus Unum bitches!
