The Dept of Education should be called the Dept of Indoctrination!
GO TRUMP!!
Then there are the state departments of education . . . . .
Outstanding!
Get rid of the Department of Indoctrination!
Of course there's no federal control. But the feds will simply hold back money going to any states that don't behave.
No federal money comes without strings attached.
Alright, Start there but,,,,,
Depts. of Agriculture, Interior, Labor, HUD, Homeland Sec., EPA,the SBA, the US Mission to the UN. That is just for a start.
Although Trump would be doing the right thing with respect to the federal governments constitutionally limited powers, constitutionally low-information Trump probably does not know that. Trumps supporters need to get him up to speed with the reality that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, decide policy, are tax and spend for INTRAstate schools.
Ooh 14.2 billion out of 3 trillion. A couple of more cuts like that will mean nothing.
Don’t just stop at one, Donald. Virtually all the alphabet agencies need to go.
Pretty good for an “unserious nonconservative”...isn’t this the one Rick Perry couldn’t remember?
Yes buy bye!
Appoint Carly to go in and raze it to the ground!
Home school ping.
“As The Daily Caller reporter Blake Neff explained, “While Common Core is promoted indirectly by the Department of Education, it is still adopted individually by state governments, and the federal government does not control it.”
Nonetheless, states rarely turn down the chance to accept “free money” from the federal government. Funding for education is no different. The primary financial incentive for states to accept the CCSS comes from the Race to the Top Fund (RTT). The fund, created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and totaling $4.35 billion, offers competitive grants to all 50 states based on a number of criteria. “Developing and adopting common standards” would give a state 40 of a possible 500 points. As a result, 45 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the CCSS, allowing them to check off one category to make their application more competitive. Although specifically adopting the CCSS was not a requirement, the states that have not done so never even applied for RTT funding.
Funny how Planned Parenthood, National Pubic Radio, here, the Dept. of Education, et cetera all say that federal funding is just a wee, very small, really, really small part of their sustenance.
But bring up the subject of, why not give it back then ...
If he isn’t just blowing smoke out his rear, I may just vote for him on that basis alone.
Trump will need congress to eliminate the DOE...
Let’s see how that works out...
"...Nowhere amongst the enumerated powers of congress is there authority
to tax and spend for: Social Security, public education, farm subsidies, bank
bailouts, food stamps and other activities that represent roughly two-thirds
of the federal budget. Neither is there authority for Congress's mandates to
the states and people about how they may use their land, the speed at which
they can drive, whether a library has wheelchair ramps and the gallons of
water used per toilet flush. A list of congressional violations of the letter
and spirit of the Constitution is virtually without end."
Wow, Trump would eliminate one whole department. Cruz already listed five he would eliminate several months ago.
Department of thought control. Eliminate it along with many others.
God let it happen, we pray!
It was Reagan greatest failure, not getting that done. If Trump can do it, he will be greater than Reagan. It was created in 1979, only a year old when RR took office.
Similar to Obamacare.
LOL... may?
Blake Neff explained, “While Common Core is promoted indirectly by the Department of Education, it is still adopted individually by state governments, and the federal government does not control it.”
What he means is, they are BRIBED with BIG FEDERAL MONEY to cooperate!
Why do most writers/reporters/journalists ALWAYS LIE????
