Why the Department of Education?

See post #182.

Oh look your head up your ass again. Post #182 got tore then and it is still tore now.

Just because you don't like states doesn't mean they aren't a thing.

They don't.

Then why are they so upset about the notion of losing them???

They seem awfully upset about the idea of us leaving NATO.

They're pretty upset about us leaving the WHO.

They're super pissed the money flow has stopped to EUROPEAN special interest.

You can PRETEND they don't want our weapons and money, but you're fuckin lying to yourself and everyone can see that. 😘 😘

A general preference for state over federal government is never relevant to any discussion. In American history, "states' rights" has never meant anything that was not horribly ugly and deeply objectionable.

That is the truth.

Of course it is because it's a thing.

You not liking it doesn't make it go away though.

Cry more that there are states inside the United STATES.
 
Centralized bureaucracy usually starts with a belief in efficiency and gradually becomes greedy, incompetent, and micromanaging. Decisions that seem brilliant in the central office become absolute failures in practice across the nation. Bureaucrats become dedicated to protecting their own jobs and fiefdoms. The subjects of their mismanagement become just stats on a page or screen instead of kids in schools or whatever their departments are funded to pretend to help. The Department of Education, like most of the Cabinet, will at least be reduced, but complete elimination could take decades as bureaucratic inertia slowly grinds to a stop. Russia and China have shown in extensive and grim detail what happens when centralization is allowed to go much farther unchecked.

"Lawmakers supporting those programs introduced proposals this month with an end goal of helping students attend private K-12 schools in the state. Two bills would revive the laws passed, repealed, replaced and then repealed by voters in just the past two years."

“I’m not dissuaded by the fact that it was defeated at the ballot box,” said freshman State Sen. Tony Sorrentino of Omaha, one of many lawmakers with school choice proposals in 2025. “There’s been a number of cases that lost at the ballot box and were reinstated, so let’s hope for that.”
 
1. After 9 pages I think that the case for a centralized Department of Education has not been justified.
2, However, there is a strong case for uniform minimum standards of achievement to be established. A centralized department is not needed to establish standards. Many countries outsource the development and auditing of such standards - some even to institutions in other countries.
3. If States want to control education they, not the Federal government should raise the funds to pay for it (A less popular condition perhaps)
 
If there were a proper Department of Education enforcing standards in education, maybe we wouldn't have the world laughing at the President's Press Spokesperson (the one with the bigger chest than the previous Spokesperson) saying that things in the Constitution were unconstitutional.

The pulled the Constitution from the WH website -- what's the point of that? Don't they know the complete text of the Constitution is in every high school U.S. history textbook?!

There must be something about being nice to others in there. The right to life perhaps?

Trump's amended blasphemous Bible that he sells online is selective about the parts he allows his uneducated fools to read.

and therein lies the issue.

"The first step to improving U.S. education is to dismantle the US Department of Education & return the money. After that, it's up to the states to lead the way. And we will," Ramaswamy posted on X.
He (and trump & president musk) don't want to pay to educate the children of the taxpayers paying for the gov't to educate their children. Leaving the basics up to individual states means there will be NO high general standard, and many children will fail to learn about the history of their country... this is not accidental: if you don't teach the kids about historic racism, laws, the rights movements etc..., they will remain ignorant of it till older and this perpetuates the climate to continue such travesties.

ramaswamy got plenty of support on x, but while they're supporting him they're also calling for things such as free college. Are they expecting the disbanded D.o.E to pay for that? Are they prepared to stump up more in local taxes to pay for their kids' education and the 'free' college tuition? I agree college should be free to those attending, but it needs to be paid for federally.

Because it's a rip off and the kids aren't getting educated.

The more we spend the worse our education system gets. It's a fuckin' scam.
 
The Government wants a poorly educated citizenry. They (the Elite) need the People back in the fields and do not want them to think they deserve better. Getting rid of migrants is not for your benefit.
 
Trump is planning an EO -- but he can't abolish the DOE, that's still up to Congress.
 
Trump's pick for SOE, Linda McMahon, had her confirmation hearing today.

Former professional wrestling exec and billionaire GOP donor Linda McMahon faced tough questioning—and scattered protests—on Thursday during her confirmation hearing to head an Education Department that President Donald Trump is keen on abolishing.

During two-and-a-half hours of questioning (and opining) by senators, McMahon attempted to thread the needle between Trump’s plans to gut the 45-year-old US Department of Education and federal laws and constitutional guardrails that stand in his (and Elon Musk’s) way. Even as she expressed support for key Trump policies—including private-school voucher programs and bans on trans girls and women from sports—McMahon’s scant experience in education was on display as she misstated, or failed to answer key questions about, federal education law.

Mcahon, who was head of the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term, is best known for her role at World Wrestling Entertainment, which she co-founded and ran with her now-estranged husband, Vince. Her experience in education is limited: She earned a teaching certificate in college and was a student teacher for a semester. She served for a year on the Connecticut Board of Education, resigning in 2010 after the Hartford Courant found that she’d claimed an education degree she never obtained. She has spent more than a decade as a trustee of a private Catholic university. She also ran unsuccessfully for the US Senate in 2010 and 2012.

As board chair of the ultra-conservative American First Policy Institute, McMahon now oversees a think tank that supports education-related policies including universal school-choice programs, parental review of all school curriculum, and removal of so-called “gender ideology” and “political activism” from coursework. If confirmed, she says she will boost support for technical schools and vocational programs and ban the teaching of critical race theory—all while emphasizing that education policy is best left to states and local school districts.


Isn't the Senate going to reject any of these idiots?! :mad: :mad:
