President Trump campaigned on reforming the broken and corrupt WOKE Department of Education, which has been infiltrated by radical zealots and Marxists. They destroyed the greatest education system in the world. Make Education Great Again.
Once a beacon for education the world over, we can thank the Democrats that we now rank on the bottom of math and sciences in industrialized nations. But not to worry, our sexualized tots will be experimenting with transgenderism and Gd knows what.

haha what if future scores went up with no dept of ed?
Until Congress officially abolishes the agency their new HQ can be an igloo in Antarctica.
But without the Dept.of Ed., how are toddlers going to learn how to put a condom on a banana using their mouths?
Used to be the teachers unions would say “At least you children aren’t ignorant.”

The high schools perform way below average in reading, especially math, and in science. Sometimes into the teens.
And guess what? The high schools have 92 percent graduation rates and some better than that.

“President Trump campaigned on reforming the broken and corrupt WOKE Department of Education, which has been infiltrated by radical zealots and Marxists.”
I beg to differ, it is staffed by Democrats!
They will.
Exactly.
well darn then every Joe six pack yokel will have the sense to question was that the old dept. of ed was no darn good anyhow, and why the heck were we throwing money at it!
I agree that this needs to be done but...there are already multiple lawsuits on other issues such as the FBI J6 list. Agents are suing because they say its for retribution (premature, yes..in other words “Not Ripe”) but the same thing will happen with everything that is done...only a matter of time and they’ll get a commie judge that will issue TRO’s stopping the reforms dead that will drag on and on, and then whaddya know, 4 years has passed and the cases will be still in court dormant. I hope I’m wrong, but this is what I see starting to happen as we speak

FBI all ready handed over the data this afternoon. The lawsuit is a dead letter.
Many of the leftist legal outfits receive funding directly or indirectly by federal grants.
We are in a race—can we defund them before they start litigating—or break them so they cannot continue it...
That is one reason why President Trump has a sense of urgency in stopping federal grants of all kinds.
