Now that sounds like a plan. Hopefully the next president will take notice.

Ugh.

Just read this quote:

“We’ll have a tiny group to make sure everyone is teaching English, math, etc. Department of Education goes.”

That’s none of the federal government’s business or job.

The more departments of education have intervened, the less effectively English, math, etc. have been taught.

Wonder if he’ll stop the USPS from flying the flag of the terrorist BLM?

He can’t. He would need congress to pass a law and send it to his desk to sign. A strong Secretary of Education could try to make some changes to reel the DOE in, but the bureaucrats are as entrenched there as DOJ and State.

The department is not only the problem it is a much worse problem than it appears on face value.

They have created mass uniformity and conformity dragging down the baseline level nationally.

They’re producing lesser skilled conformists en masse.

This has inhibited creativity, imagination, innovation or basically everything minus capital behind American exceptionalism.

And a bunch of Senators and Representatives will not support it, because their constituents don’t support it.

“How dare you cut education!!!”- Screams a hysterical Karen.

Naive, or disingenuous?

Returning the responsibility to states and municipalities will immediately result in an increased level of education throughout the nation and tremendous savings in taxpayer money. And, at least in the red states the teacher unions will loose their dictatorial power

Just as Nancy Reagan rightly said about drugs in the 1980s, students today should just say “no” to college loans.

But the level of education provided, in response to market demand, is indeed now horrible.

A good number of young men have realized that it's a bad deal to go to an university so they're going into trades instead.

The gender ratio at a typical ratio is now 60:40 female.

I was about the type the same ;-)

but you ‘etc etc etc’ over DHS, Patriot Act, FISA courts...

‘etc etc etc’

(but, honestly, I regret to admit that I believe he won’t be given the chance: If ‘Russia Collusion’ wasn’t a Constitutional Crisis, and the ongoing ‘Lawfare’ against President Trump isn’t a Constitutional Crisis, I submit that a genuine Constitutional Crisis is shortly forthcoming)

There goes a large group of black voters. The Department of Education is loaded with grossly overpaid affirmative action hires.

If a Democrat had a bold plan like this (not this plan, but a different bold plan), that Democrat president, as head of the Executive Branch, would just DO IT. The funding? It wouldn’t be spent. The Dept? It would end. Executive Branch decisions, made by the Chief Executive, would just get DONE.

My worry is that when a Republican president wants to do something like this, they go to Congress and ask permission, and Congress (mostly the Republicans in Congress) would just say NO.

I say the Executive should rule the Executive Branch like a dictator until impeached and removed from office. MAKE them stop you. Until they stop you — DO IT.

Great idea, which we’ve heard in a lot of presidential campaigns, but once elected, the issue goes away and the Education Dept only gets stronger with time.

It’s an empty promise. Never gonna happen, even though it should.
