Sec. 2. Closing the Department of Education and Returning Authority to the States. (a) The Secretary of Education shall, to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities while ensuring the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely.
The fun thing is that authority over education is already in the hands of the states. And I bet that ED is already understaffed, so they probably can’t ensure the things in the last line if they fire people. All that makes the order effectively already met.
Mexico education levels coming right up! Oh nevermind they’re ahead now…Colombia! Peru? Angola? Ah! Antarctica! The king penguin colony! Penguins are retarded. You can tell because the males give ugly rocks to the females.
I think they do something like “soft secession”. Instead of breaking the federation apart officially, they’re eroding the federation (federal government) to the point where it’s no longer relevant. They talk about “state’s rights”.
They’re accelerationists. They’re burning the system down so they can build their own in its place.
Legit should have just let the CSA go after burning them to the ground.
My God, this is beyond sad.
This isn’t something Trump would even care about. He’s being handled very well this time around.
Remember Rick Perry wanted to close the department of Education as well. It’s been on the Republican checklist for a while now.
It’s p25.
Wow.
I looked at the articles that was expecting for that to happen today, never thought he would actually do it.
Yet more evidence that trump is an agent of Putin and is actively dismantling the United States one piece at a time
It was literally in the playbook and talked about constantly, because it’s about boosting private schools under the guise of parent choice/states rights. Will allow the Right to funnel tons of money into indoctrinating kids and white washing history (more than it already is in the US).
What in the past 3 months gave you the impression that it wouldn’t?
“I love the poorly educated”- Trump, 2016
I voted for the Rapist Convicted Felon because I’m a LAW AND ORDER voter and I SUPPORT this even though it’s Illegal!
Your comments never disappoint
The US is rapidly becoming the world’s largest third-world country.
“Becoming”? Do a search for “Portland tent city”.
Depending on where you go they long have been. As a Canadian the difference between our countries is jarring as soon as you step off the beaten path.
Edit - I wanted to elaborate for those not in the know. I grew up lower middle class in Canada and have been to many smaller areas in America over the years. The poor in Canada still have education and healthcare covered by the state. Poor people are easily distinguishable but at the same time they are very much the same as everyone else.
In Canada, you take the wrong turn and you’re going to be met by a friendly stranger who will help you and point you in the right direction. In America, you take the wrong turn and you’re Ned Beatty in Deliverance.
The true stereotype isn’t that Canadians are overly nice. The true stereotype is that Americans are overly hateful.
Canada is what America could be if it valued the health and well being of its citizens. Not that we are doing much better but if America is at a 1 and Denmark is at a 10, Canada is at least in the 6-7 range
Edit - government debt to GDP is very telling for all countries btw. Canada is at 70% since the pandemic which is high compared to before the pandemic when we were in the high 50% range. In comparison America is 124%.
So Canada is getting far more for less money. The robber barons really have a hold down there.

Becoming? One could argue it’s already there and has been.
Fun fact. The United States is and always will be 1st world by definition. The 'Three Worlds ’ model comes down to the cold war where a country is aligned with the United States, the Soviet Union, or neutral. Switzerland is a 3rd world country. What people generally call the third world is better describe as ‘global south’, and they either ignore 1st and 2nd world completely or neglect the 2nd world completely and call themselves the 1st world. With regard to the United States I think you mean it’s becoming the biggest fucking piece of shit country, or you might mean it is no longer aligned with itself, plans to leave NATO, is not aligned with the soviet union, and is then by definition the largest 3rd world country.
I mean… You have the assumption that definitions do not change.
Huh. I always thought it was 1st, democracy, 2nd communism, 3rd all else. I’ll be damned it literally was just “hey these guys don’t like us, and these guys really don’t like us and they also hate the soviets.”
No, they’re about as capitalist as you can be. Wtf.
50 third world countries in a trenchcoat.
Hey, California’s not that bad! …I think? Hope?
Well, if you don’t live in a city shit is about to get bad. Public education was basically one key thing keeping the US as a first world nation.
This is that you voted for protest-non-voters. Congratulations!
Like Schumer isn’t whipping up a bipartisan support bill right now to signal his “willingness to compromise”
Every time Republicans do something stupid, BHB replies: “Thanks non-voters! This is all your fault! :^)”
Every time Democrats do something stupid, BHB: “This is just slander, you’re spamming our public fourm with this! How dare you call out my team doing something genuinely so stupid! Don’t ask me to reply, that’s a strawman!”
Barqs would wait in line for Trump to shoot him if Schumer voted yes for it.
This is fucking horrifying. Americans you need to do something wtf is going on down there
A significant portion of our population, primarily in Republican controlled regions, didn’t receive an adequate education, so they lack critical thinking skills or any concept of how our government actually functions.
Don’t forget those that want public education to fail so that they can make money off the private schools and people who want private schools so they can discriminate legally.
But why aren’t you burning down the white house?
[notes .ca instance] That’s more y’all’s thing. At the rate Trump is screwing with you, I fear you’ll have a good reason to do it soon enough.
[notes .ca instance] That’s more y’all’s thing
I got that reference!
Because the actual left was disorganized and scattered after eighty years of Red Scare even before fascists got direct control of the alphabets and liberals are fucking useless.
Capitalism.
If you speak out about it you’re seen as a “Radical” and/or “Leftist”
We have a bad bad case of “-That- would never happen -here!-”
Because US Americans are too damn educated today and we need them to be less educated /s
Congratulations!! This means the average person in America is already too educated. Right!? Right?
Sadly… that is kinda true. Tons of jobs require a college degree that is completely unnecessary. It just a way for companies to support the schools their leadership went to. But of course, that has nothing to do with the department of education.
The far right definitely thinks Americans are too educated…even at the current level of ignorance and stupidity.
