Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

Silly liberal.

Discussion? Lol

Kill the DOE. That way we make the libs cry, states can divert the monies to charters and private schools with connections to Christian nationalists, and we won’t have to educate any DEI students or enforce policies that we don’t like (like equality for women or civil rights for DEIs and SPEDs).

Discussion? Lol

How quaint.

This really does feel like a Christian thing, like public schools don't push Christianity hard enough so public school needs to go because church attendance is down.

I don't think all this is going to go where Christian Nationalists are hoping it will go.

For those of us who’ve followed politics, especially in the post tea party era, this has been at the top of their list, much like abortion. Republicans have hated the DOE for decades because it enforced policies that helped DEIs and girls. And just like abortion, returning enforcement of policies and funding to “the states” is merely code for red states ****ing over minorities and women while enriching their friends. In education, that means enriching Christian nationalist schools.

Thing is, I'm open to arguments in favor of closing down the DOE, but none have been made. All this stuff is happening and no discussion is involved. What are the pros and cons of shutting down the DOE, because their obviously has to be both, pros and cons.

Can we have a discussion? Can a thoughtful reason be presented?

Ron DeSantis, the head of the state rated as having the best education system in the nation, published exactly the think-piece you are asking for.

I don't disagree. If they are actually going to shut it down, then Congress should be holding the axe. That very well may be the plan.

Trump set to sign executive order shuttering the Education Department

Closing the department requires an act of Congress, but Trump could make it nearly impossible for remaining employees to carry out their work, much like at USAID.

Trump has suggested that he could garner enough congressional support to formally close the department, characterizing teachers unions as more of a threat to the plan than lawmakers.

“I think I’d work with Congress,” Trump said last month in the Oval Office.

The leaks about the Executive Order set to be signed is about shifting the handling of Federal student loans and other services from the Department of Education over to other departments so the service on those goes uninterrupted.
