Senator Cotton’s heart is in the right place. Sad to say he is trying to cure a symptom:
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), has introduced a new bill that would prohibit federal funds from being used to teach the 1619 Project at K-12 schools and school districts. The bill would also render schools that teach the 1619 Project ineligible for purposes of receiving federal professional-development grants.

Giving the Parasite Class tax dollars to implement their ideology is the symptom of a nation-killing disease. No nest of parasites is more murderous than the ED.
Should we shutter the Department of Education?

It is much easier to cure the disease by repealing the XVI Amendment than it is to defund every parasite bureaucracy one by one. The record shows that Americans already hate bureaucracies like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Arts, et al. The record also that they are impossible to shutdown.
President Reagan tried and failed to abolish President Carter’s Department of Education.
The United States Department of Education (ED or DoED), also referred to as the ED for (the) Education Department, is a Cabinet-level department of the United States government. It began operating on May 4, 1980, having been created after the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare was split into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services by the Department of Education Organization Act, which President Jimmy Carter signed into law on October 17, 1979.

Finally, I loved Michele Bachman. When she was running for president I suggested this one for her campaign theme song:
"What I would do as president of the United States is pass the mother of all repeal bills on education," said Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. "Then I would go over to the Department of Education, I'd turn off the lights, I would lock the door and I would spend all the money back to the states and localities."

Admittedly, Bachmann made the mistake of saying she would send federal tax dollars to the states. I can only hope that after Senator Cotton fails to defund anything he will lead the charge to repeal the income tax amendment.
