President Trump signed bills Monday overturning two Obama-era education regulations, continuing the Republican majority’s effort to undo key pieces of the previous administration’s legacy.
Trump’s move scraps new requirements for programs that train new K-12 teachers and rolls back a set of rules outlining how states must carry out the Every Student Succeeds Act, a bipartisan federal law meant to hold schools accountable for student performance. In a signing ceremony at the White House Monday, the president hailed the measures for “removing an additional layer of bureaucracy to encourage freedom in our schools.”
Leaders of the Republican majority claimed that the accountability rules represented an executive overreach by former president Barack Obama. Democrats argued that rescinding the rules opens loopholes that states can use to shield poorly performing schools from scrutiny, especially when they fail to serve poor children, minorities, English-language learners and students with disabilities.

opens loopholes that states can use to shield poorly performing schools from scrutiny
How did these bills pass the Senate?
“President Trump signed bills Monday overturning two Obama-era education regulations, continuing the Republican majority’s effort to undo key pieces of the previous administration’s legacy.”
What’s that smell?
Smells like sweet perfume.
Note: Bill.
This is Congress and Senate doing things in concert with the White House. Exactly as they should.
And these are very good things to repeal.
This is good, prudent, is the work of this Congress right now.
It also shows that they can do Obamacare repeal, so what is the problem there?
Anyone teaching hoax environmental crap in a public school should be charged with child abuse. US history should be taught with ex Marines only!!
“President Trump signed bills Monday overturning two Obama-era education regulations, continuing the Republican majority’s effort to undo key pieces of the previous administration’s legacy.”
Note also how the Wash Post presents this: as an effort to undo Obama’s legacy. As if that is what it is about and nothing more.
It is explicit in exposing the bias, and more than that, that they see themselves as subjects who are loyal to a deposed King and no other government, and therefore any bill, has any legitimacy.
It is a sick psychology and these writers are unaware of it, for the most part.
How did these bills pass the senate.......McShame, Grahamnesty, Collins, and the rest of the Dems in pubbie suits!!! THAT’S HOW!!!

++++
Funny how that question is never answered in the news reports.
“US history should be taught with ex Marines only!!”
My Jr. High math teacher was a WWII era Marine. She was a piece of work!
Education is a local issue. The 10th amendment reserves it to the states and the people. Keep it that way.
so, do the states now have to send the money back ?
Sure, like we can trust the federal government to adequately and correctly enforce those regulations.
We can all see how those have helped our education system already.
“US history should be taught with ex Marines only!!”
My U.S. history class *was* taught by a Marine who was also an ex-college football player at the D-I level and the high school football coach. He had a masters degree in history as well. Very knowledgeable, fiercely competitive, and extremely attentive to his students and players.
Hey, at least the Dems appear to care about learning English in this case.
Are the moonbats howling yet?
Under the Convessional Review Act, you don’t need 60 votes in the Senate to roll back regulations.
The same way The Patriot Act and ObamaCare did.
