American Pravda “schooling” us. What nonsense!!!

[SuperLuminal]

"... the Education Department serves as a conduit for billions of..."

No need to read further...
The corruption/graft run deeper than any Pacific Ocean trench...

The overt support of communist indoctrination is displayed, every day, in the violent streets of America...

My sister is/was an NEA teacher.

My mom wrote her out of the will.

I would say that we can start hiring conservative, American teachers again who understand the correct biological sex lives of humans. Sexual disorientation is not what they study.

Get rid of the National Science Foundation too! The NSF has a disaster for setting standards.

Congress must codify this stat

[maddog55]

No federal tax payer funds to any educational systen anywhere anytime. Education is a state not federal issue.

[lastchance]

It means an improvement to local schools.

[lastchance]

“...or will rural and low-income kids and students with disabilities — the populations that most rely on federal education support — be impacted?”

It has been stated again and again that these programs predate the creation of the Department and are in no danger of being eliminated.

While the necessity of the department is up for debate

This is what happens when you change the terms of the debate. We'd never see that from AP prior to Trump.

[metmom]

Thank God.

[LastDayz]

Given the money being spent on many schools throughout the nation via local school bonds, you’d think we’d be getting more bang for the buck. All these nice pretty facilities are, in general, still turning out mush-brains by the hundreds. Don’t get me started on technical colleges.

For good!

[No name given]

Yes, thanks be to God Almighty.

And Dismantle the programs don’t just move them hhs or somewhere.

I would LOVE to see ex-MILITARY guys TEACH, especially in the INNER CITY SCHOOLS.......they could get their TEACHING DEGREES while STILL in the MILITARY!!!

Military MEN would have DISCIPLINE in the classroom, instead of these SAPPY OLD WOMEN who the kids do not respect. They would take NO CRAP!!!!

“...giving their responsibilities to other federal agencies...”

Need to eliminate those “responsibilities” otherwise it just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. (And not saving much $$).

Leave it to the States. Education is not a constitutionally enumerated function of the Federal Government.

If California, Illinois, and Washington voters want kids to skip math so they can learn Spanish and 57 genders, so be it—they can pay for it themselves.
