"I'm in favor of reducing the Department of Education on the federal level," Warner said. "I would love to see President Trump send more money back to the states. I'm good with that, but I don't want to see that go to the private sector. I want to see it help our public schools."

I'm confused by this statement. What does "send more money back to the states" mean? Does the US have federal schools or something? Isn't the federal government paying for state run schools already sending money back to the states?

You’re not confused, the quoted person just doesn’t know how anything works. They’re a Republican voter, after all

The quote is from Tennessee State House Rep. Todd Warner, though I'm sure they do vote Republican.

Thanks for keeping me honest; that’s what I get for not checking the source of the quote
