DOE to Consider 'Equity' as Part of Decisions on Project Grants
townhall.com ^ | 4/15/2022 1900 hrs edt | Landon Mion

The Department of Education revealed in a recent report that it will consider grant applications, in part, based on how "equity" is incorporated into grant proposals.

The "2022 Agency Equity Plan related to Executive Order 13985," published Thursday, is part of one of President Joe Biden's first executive orders, the "Executive Order On Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government."

The "executive summary" of Thursday's 19-page report reads, "As we enter a new era of possibility for our nation, education must be at the forefront of our recovery, rebuilding and resiliency efforts. To meet this potential, our nation’s education system must reckon with and address the long-standing disparities that students from underserved communities face in achieving equal education opportunity."

The report said the DOE has an "opportunity and a responsibility" to support efforts to deliver on "America's promise of education."

"[DOE's] stated mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access," the report read. "To fulfill this mission, the agency must embed equity throughout its operations and mission to meet the needs of every learner. Under the Secretary’s leadership, the Department has established strategic priorities based on feedback obtained directly from those whom we serve: children and students of all ages, educators in all roles, parents and families, and their communities."

“recovery, rebuilding and resiliency efforts”

Such government bureaucratese gobbledygook. How could they have left out “sustainable” and “antiracist”?

How many decades must pass and trillions spent before the heavily-served “underserved communities” become “overserved communities”?

Everything department, agency, bureau, and commission has been turned into a weapon against conservative Americans. The solution is simple: shutter it all. We can quite happily live without the Department of Education. It isn’t even a federal function. Fire every single lazy ass leftist employee at the DOE. It will reduce inflation and improve education.

Let’s hope they won’t use this idiocy in the granting of nuclear power plant projects.

It won’t be long before we’ll be paying a high price for this level of stupidity.

There shouldn't even be a Department of Education.

They will continue to be underserved until they get off their lazy asses and want to serve themselves and others.

Will this allow Hunter Biden, Pelosi, and Romney’s sons have a chance at some of these DOE Contracts?

I’m surprised this wasn’t done long ago.

Let’s see if it reverses Biden’s approval rating…

There is so much waste in the FedGov and our tax dollars.
Why does the Dept. of Education exist?
And why do they give out “grant money”?

“....Equity and Support for Underserved Communities...”


‘Underserved’ in this case means people and places that are overserved by government. Their rent, food, health care, cell phones, and internet, are provided by taxpayers. The fact that their schools aren’t educating their children, is of course our fault.

Just give them all full scholarships to MIT and pay MIT well to ensure they are all given degrees. That will fix everything.
