Can someone explain why he’s doing this?

The Heritage Foundation has wanted to close the DOE for decades.

The Department of Education Is Making a Great Case for Its Own Abolition

The U.S. Department of Education is on a losing streak. College student loan “forgiveness?” Stuck in legal limbo. Update to the federal student loan online platform? System crashed. Radical changes to Title IX of the Civil Rights Act? Courts have issued injunctions. Conservatives have argued for...

Correcting Carter’s Mistake: Removing Cabinet Status from the U.S. Department of Education

May 4, 2020, marks 40 years to the day when the U.S. Department of Education opened its doors. The Cabinet-level agency is no longer in its infancy; Americans have four decades of data on academic outcomes by which to measure its impact on their children. For their part, teachers and school...

it's pretty hard to defend it as a success

the waste, bloat, and failure is obvious. can anyone actually defend it as a success? i'd be curious to read

If or rather when the U.S. Department of Education shuts down, kids could lose:

- Special Education Services – Help for students with disabilities (IDEA).

- Protection from Discrimination – Rights under Title IX (gender) and civil rights laws (race, disability, etc.).

- Funding for Low-Income Schools – Money that helps struggling schools (Title I).

-Privacy Rights – Protection of student records (FERPA).

- Support for English Learners – Help for students learning English.

- School Safety Programs – Anti-bullying and mental health support.

Why would parents with public school children especially in poor red states not want these things?

States already control public school curriculums, teacher certification requirements, school funding distribution, and graduation standards which is what most of y'all complain about.

yeah, i can see that

trump doesn't even have the power to do this, so he'll probably fail. it's sad that these government agencies have gotten to the point where most people will just hear this news and shrug

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

and that's another lawsuit/supreme court decision.


is not under his powers to dissolve a department created by congres.

Same shyt different wet wipe

Judge: "ahhh shyt here we go again"

Restored by the end of the week. It's getting to the point where Trump is having a period, and don't have a tampon to clog his fukking snatch.

 

[SoSoSlick]

Wont happen. Congress aint having this shyt.

 

[the cac mamba]

Are you serious?

should we also post the horrendous, embarrassing stats that the DOE has allowed to happen in american schools, with zero accountability?

this isn't gonna happen, regardless. trump doesn't have the power

Everlasting Idiocracy so much potential

What government ran entity on this planet doesn't have short comings, mismanagement and other downsides, dog fukker?

 

[The_Sheff]

Houses in well funded public school districts are going to skyrocket if this goes through.

 

[Patrick Kane]

So now the Feds can say no more funding from us and states have to cover the bill? This will lead to further inequalities as folks with money will pay for better funded private schools and state public schools will suffer tremendously

Are you serious?

he responded well to facts provided so ill take it as actual ignorance /not being aware of how its helpful

i dont know why people are bothering to give Trump's actions the benefit of the doubt at this point though tbh. these dudes are evil. if they do something good, itll be purely by accident and they might even undo it

Wont happen. Congress aint having this shyt.

The republicans have majority and they’ll do anything Trump wants.

Houses in well funded public school districts are going to skyrocket if this goes through.

And they’ll all be bought up by private equity firms who will charge 2x for rent compared to what the mortgage would be.

Simplest answer breh: They do not care. Fundamentally they just don't care or see the big deal.
