Summary
Donald Trump announced Peggy Schwinn as the next U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education.
The decision sparked backlash from his MAGA supporters on Truth Social, who reminded him of his campaign promise to dismantle the Department of Education.
Critics accused Trump of betraying his vow to reduce federal involvement in education, with several threatening to withdraw support if the department isn’t shut down.
Many expressed frustration over staffing the department instead of eliminating it as pledged.
First, I can certainly understand why MAGAts want the Dept. of Education demolished. They are probably tired of so many people being better educated than them and want to even things out without actually going to the effort of educating themselves.
Second, this is a step in wrecking the education department. He chose a charter school supporter from Tennessee, after all. It could be worse, I suppose. He could have dredged someone up from Alabama or Missouri to appoint, Still, this is not someone who will be good for the Dept. of Ed.
These people are just too dumb to recognize that he’s doing exactly what they want.
Dude isn’t even president yet and they’re already out of patience. Toddlers just like Donald. The lot of em.
I’d love for them to turn on him and have a tantrum like Jan 6…
What they need is a little education. If only there was some department, maybe at the federal level, to ensure that the average citizen isn’t a mouth-breathing moron.
If only education wasn’t hidden behind a paywall then they wouldn’t have an excuse. When education is free, it’s a CHOICE to remain ignorant and be led around like a lapdog. Instead in America it’s like the ivory tower has a copyright on the shit they didn’t make. Shit originally copyrights were only good 14 years, but then corporations could only exist for the public benefit (and that doesn’t just mean for solely profit).
No one owns information, it’s all of ours, our birthright by being human. Honestly, if someone is against higher education I assume they are anti American. They would HAVE to be, because they’re rooting for us to fall behind in tech and to have less secure defenses - which is just idiotic. Countries do just about everything to try and reach those heights and to Willy-nilly abandon it for the lols? That’s like wanking one off into your own face and thinking now your pregnant levels of stupidity. Sterilize that person, for the good of us all
