Make America great by regressing it to developing world standards so labour and environmental costs are cheap enough to compete with China or India, so manufacturing can happen there again.
The oligarchy are the only people that profit from this.
It is really hard to believe how Americans did not get this.
Democracy is supposed to need an educated populace. Capitalism doesn’t. America made its choice for some bizarre reason.
Most parents I meet aren’t interested in politics. So maybe this will change that perspective.
take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure the Department of Education and return education authority to the States, while continuing to ensure the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely.
How can both happen at the same time?
That’s the neat part, they don’t.
Yup. Red state children’s new education is going to either too expensive private schools or slightly less expensive church schools where kids will be closely watched over by a priest that recently moved to town and no one knows why his last congregation kicked him out.
TIL: The ratio of executive orders to passing legislation through Congress by Trump currently is 89 to 1
Fuck this dictator.
if donny rapist turns all federal power back over the states, does he still have a job? Why do you need a president when the country itself no longer exists? Its just 50 separate countries now.
“No one is allowed to be smarter than me.”
Well he peaked at 1st grade…
That’s being generous
Supposedly he said he hasn’t changed since 1st grade and is proud of it.

So if its shuttered, you won’t need Linda MacMahon anymore, right? Is she fired? Somehow I suspect she’ll manage to keep her
jobpaycheck in all this.She’ll make sure that despite everything your student loans still get collected.
And the interest will now be way more
Like, dont millions of people work in the education sector? Wont they all be on the streets or on unemployment lines??? Am I missing something here?
The department of education is the federal department. Most people in education work for the states
I don’t want to come across as if I’m defending this, because I absolutely don’t agree with anything these shit heads are doing. But to answer your question, getting rid of the Department of Education doesn’t mean getting rid of public schools (at least not immediately).
Most of those are funded and run by local governments. So they won’t just be closing because there’s no Dept of Education.
However, this move will ultimately heavily affect public schools in the long run. Conservatives seem to hate the idea of separation of church and state - so they’ve been pushing forever to allow religion in schools. The only way they can do this right now is through private religious schools. Their problem is that private schools are privately funded.
Their ultimate goal is to be able to take taxpayer money away from public schools and move it to private schools. Ultimately, this will decimate many public schools.
He can’t legally cease funding something Congress has funded, so let’s hope the courts uphold that and give a restraining order.
I have been pleasantly surprised by judges these past few weeks, especially conservative ones, so I’m cautiously optimistic.
I suspect at the end we will find its all performative, just like the dems trying to look like that are doing something… oh wait, they arent even doing that
