Sec. 2. Closing the Department of Education and Returning Authority to the States. (a) The Secretary of Education shall, to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities while ensuring the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely.
I’m sorry anyone in a red state. You and your children will never learn a goddamn thing of worth again. Fuck this country.
I’m so grateful my daughter hated Indiana her entire life and fled to Illinois immediately after undergrad. Two of my grandchildren are there with her, and I have one here. I’ll be ensuring his parents read to him because I know I will. And I’ll campaign to his other grandparents and aunts. I refuse to let that boy get fucked over because this country is full of stupid misogynistic, racists cunts.
My mom is a school counselor at a tiny school in a tiny town in Montana. There is no way the school stays open. Or 90% of our public schools for that matter. Part of me wants to tell her “I told you so” but generally it just sucks so bad I don’t have the energy
But they do need to be constantly reminded that their actions are what put us in this place. Forgiveness can only go so far before you have to hold people accountable for their actions. Otherwise, nothing will ever change, just continual repeat.
Good news! They already weren’t. Red state public schools have been indoctrination camps for about a decade now.
That doesn’t sound like good news at all.
This is that you voted for protest-non-voters. Congratulations!
Like Schumer isn’t whipping up a bipartisan support bill right now to signal his “willingness to compromise”
Every time Republicans do something stupid, BHB replies: “Thanks non-voters! This is all your fault! :^)”
Every time Democrats do something stupid, BHB: “This is just slander, you’re spamming our public fourm with this! How dare you call out my team doing something genuinely so stupid! Don’t ask me to reply, that’s a strawman!”
Barqs would wait in line for Trump to shoot him if Schumer voted yes for it.
This will be in the courts by the end of next week marking it unconstitutional
And then nothing will be done about it.
The Department of Education currently manages a student loan debt portfolio of more than $1.6 trillion. This means the Federal student aid program is roughly the size of one of the Nation’s largest banks, Wells Fargo. But although Wells Fargo has more than 200,000 employees, the Department of Education has fewer than 1,500 in its Office of Federal Student Aid. The Department of Education is not a bank, and it must return bank functions to an entity equipped to serve America’s students.
Move student loans to private banks! There it is.
so what im hearing is the DoE was way more efficent, and deserved additional funding, right?
I mean they basically already do this, my student loan was moved to a private servicer which basically is just a company that collects the money from my loans.
What I understand is that they are more efficient, and loans aren’t even it’s core business…
Would this mean people can finally default on those loans? That would at least be a silver lining.
Mexico education levels coming right up! Oh nevermind they’re ahead now…Colombia! Peru? Angola? Ah! Antarctica! The king penguin colony! Penguins are retarded. You can tell because the males give ugly rocks to the females.
I think they do something like “soft secession”. Instead of breaking the federation apart officially, they’re eroding the federation (federal government) to the point where it’s no longer relevant. They talk about “state’s rights”.
Legit should have just let the CSA go after burning them to the ground.
They’re accelerationists. They’re burning the system down so they can build their own in its place.
Super embarrassing. Fucking idiots and their followers
good, now we can finally indebt 8 year olds too not just college students. they had it too good for too long
–trump, probably
I’ve definitely heard of lunch debt, so I think it’s already happening.
Just wait til the red states get mad that blue states won’t take their spawn in for a college education due to being said far behind what is expected of someone to graduate from a blue stat HS
Speaking as a blue state taxpayer, I’d rather we give them whatever remedial education they need instead of turning them away.
Well, he does love the uneducated…
I think the practical problems with this are going to be weird. The federal Department of Education is pretty small and doesn’t set as much policy as people assume since that’s 90% done at the state and local level. The college student loan program is a huge component and could theoretically be ruined or just moved to Treasury or HHS or whatever.
The rest is mostly grants to state and local governments and red state politicians are going to be even more pissed than blue if they kill those and put a hole in their budget that has to be filled. (Doesn’t mean they won’t do it but it’s not going to please any governors/legislators.)
The people who will likely suffer most are special ed students since those grants are, obviously, for public schools and private/parochial schools basically never have programs for students with severe, profound, or mild autism. (I don’t know the current terms but when I was in high school, people with, for instance, autism were classified as severe, profound, mild, or moderate based on where they fell on the spectrum. Those terms are probably outdated or were unique to my school system.)
put a hole in their budget that has to be filled.
Who says it has to be filled? Republicans certainly don’t.
In normal times, I’d say it’s complicated. There’s a lot of suburban parents who are busy and tune out the news but get very politically activated if you start fucking with schools (and student aid because that’s fucking with their money).
Not sure if MAGA cares — I don’t know if we’ll even have elections — but don’t underestimate parents to be late to the fight but then want to gouge out a politician’s eyes.
They were super happy to see marginalized kids get abused and bullied, but when they realize this will affect their “angel” I think we might see Trump try and backtrack on this.
So I assume all the special ed money in Red states will now just go into a slush fund to accelerate executions, and an amplification of attacks on marginalized groups instead of helping kids/families.
The conservatives have been objecting to the Dept of Education since its inception just after the Civil War.
Their objectio then is the same now. Alrhough they don’t say it out loud anymore.
That it is dangerous, to the wealthy, to educate the lower classes
The fun thing is that authority over education is already in the hands of the states. And I bet that ED is already understaffed, so they probably can’t ensure the things in the last line if they fire people. All that makes the order effectively already met.
Gotta be a new rule/law made that your EO is invalidated if you preface it with provably false info. Authority already lies with the states. If they rejected Federal funds they’d practically achieve the same end goal. Main difference being blue states can’t get the funding either and civil rights violations will go unchecked.
