The Dept. of Education has nothing to do with “education.”

Its about political control

[FlingWingFlyer]

Can’t they just give each “poor kid” a “Democrat Party for Dummies” handbook and call that good?

[magna carta]

He hasn’t finished trashing our schools yet?

[Daffynition]

Case in point: Hartford, Connecticut

Rife with corruption and misuse of fed and state funds. All by administrators hired through *affirmative action* programs.

Few have been convicted....they all skate ....while the kids at the end of this food chain go without. Such is life in a large urban city.

I’ve always thought mandatory audits of individual school budgets/expendatures.

It’s kind of amazing to me, that Obama really thinks that his influence is going to last beyond his short time as a “president”.

The world moves on; and history does get written by SOME honest historians...

I think the US has come to a point where no one really gives a massatooshits about what “The Obama Administration” is doing. imho I think people are looking to the future w/o him & his odious companions

[Jack Hammer]

That obama sure loves his rules.

And he gets off on making sure everyone else follows them, too.

[blueplum]

put it on ice.

Once Trump is President and the outflow of illegals no longer receiving welfare through their children begins, we can evaluate what we really need at that point.

The only shocking thing in this is that I had no idea ol’ Lamar was still kicking.

[Whenifhow]

PING!!!

Article and comments

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate education committee, said the administration’s proposed rule would unlawfully regulate nearly all of a district’s state and local spending

Thanks, 2ndDivisionVet

[Dalberg-Acton]

No authority for this will be found in the US Constitution.

[Rusty0604]

I don’t recall education in the constitution.

[DoughtyOne]

This guy is such an a hole.

[Rurudyne]

Ah, Barry back to his old tricks as with the Chicago’s Annenburg Challenge swag.

For any who may have forgotten that was a huge pile of other people’s money intended to help enhance education in the Chicago area. Bill Ayers, that guy who just happened to live of Barry Boy’s street, hand picked Obama to help run it.

They then proceeded to piss off over a hundred million and, because they were “progressive” and funded all sorts of crap besides the basics, somehow managed to achieve nothing much for it all. Bupkis.

Now, pissing off so much charity money and failing would hurt some folks prospects but with the DNC it is apparently resume material!

See Barry Spend

Oh, a liberal little lawyer went galumphing down the street,
And as his luck would have it he just happened there to meet,
His neighbor with millions and a heavy need to spend,
But they spent the millions badly and Chicago got the shaft.

Shut down the education dept.
We did ok without it before 1977

[VRW Conspirator]

Outrage after outrage. Whenever I hear of another egregious act of tyranny from the big O, I got to ask, what is the other hand doing?

[mainestategop]

BOOKMARK

Only one group will benefit from this. The only group that ever benefits from public education, the bum teachers in the NEA and the PTA and communist parents who want to destroy their children.

[wintertime]

Of interest to homeschoolers.
