Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that schools could segregate without the existence of the Department of Education.
Maddow said, “What’s your reaction to closing the Education Department today?”
Walz said, “Well, we knew it was coming, but it’s still a day that I dreaded. I dreaded it as a teacher, as a parent, certainly as a governor now. And the sad part for me about this is Donald Trump doesn’t know anything about education. This has been a long time dream of the far right to crush the public education system, to take that money and transfer it to private schools that don’t exist in in a lot of areas or rural areas. And then and to undermine some of the missions of the Department of Ed, making sure everybody gets an education regardless of race, religion or abilities.”
He added, “It’s about the Civil Rights Department in the Department of Education that makes sure that we don’t have a situation where a Ruby Bridges is escorted to school with police. And so we’re we’re back in an area where we can segregate. And he knows he knows that curriculums and those decisions are made on a local basis, but they muddy the waters.”

Collectivism must lie. It is their first power tool.
I seem to recall desegregation was about 25 years before there was a Dept of Education.

Is he the governor of Minnesota? Or a perpetual VP campaigner?
He lost. He should go away
We had segregation in 1979?
Exactly. Dept. of Ed. had nothing to do with bringing it about.
No they can't. But let me translate this.
"All you darkies better get back on the plantation. And stay out of my neighborhood!"
Good God.
Alway, always the race card.
Because we’re all evil racists - ipso facto, the country is just evil racist.
The DOEd was started in ‘79. That forced segregation stuff was a done deal from the ‘50s. Get over it.
Tampon Tim is still selling crazy.
After so many decades of watching the news, I’m beginning to think that is a great idea.
that’s what I thought, if I remember correctly having attended a school that was integrated during the middle of the school year, if I remember correctly, segregation ended in that late 60s and early 70s a number of years before the Department of Education was created.
We all know how MSNBC operates. It’s small hysterical audience has to get its daily dose from head nurse Rachel.
They want rioting in the streets....
Idiots on parade...sheesh
He’s also spreading the lie that there will be no financial assistance for college students.
Fear Mongering
Trump Administration needs a rapid response team to quell these lies. NOW!
As long as there are demonicRATS, there will be the threat of segregation. Walz will never forgive Republicans for freeing the demonicRATS’ slaves.
Non blacks are already segregated out...you mean things might be made fair again?
What? I thought we were back to slavery! Dang, nobody ever tells me these things!
Minn. deserves Walz.
