What a delight! Civics returns to the classroom! Liberal tears flow...as they should.

The poor teachers are going to feel so left out.

I just don’t see how we’ll ever get rid of the Department of Education.

[Reily]

It takes legislation. We need to elect those who won’t go soft when someone screams “It’s for the children !”!

[ProgressingAmerica]

Look.

Trump fights for the things he wants, even if the votes aren’t there.

Haven’t you seen Trump fight for the SAVE Act? Haven’t you seen Trump fight for the SAVE Act? Haven’t you seen Trump fight for the SAVE Act? We have seen Trump fight for the SAVE Act. Multiple times, hence repeating the question.

Didn’t you previously mention that someone from Trump’s admin asked congress (without link) asked Congress? Once? Oh was that on that one day, that one time, after that one situation?

Where was the fight?

So, yes, it takes legislation but it also takes leadership. Trump will fight for the SAVE Act tomorrow, but I see no such fight for abolishing the Department of Education.

It just is. The comparison between the SAVE Act and the DoEd could not be more stark.

The indoctrination of our children is a much larger problem than the SAVE Act.

Somethings might have to occur serially. Also, outside of this forum it may not be that popular.

Obviously, none of them are at the Jersey Beaches being interviewed by Johnny!
