Have they thought about what jobs the huge class of undereducated are going to qualify for in twenty years? Jobs are becoming more technical or eliminated and filled by machines. There will be more and more angry, poor incels. What’s in it for the 1%?

This really shouldn’t even be a political thing. My great grandmother was educated in a log cabin with a slate and chalk tablet and sharing books. She read and studied insatiably and was very well educated.

This is the plan. The poor will have log cabin schools and the wealthy will have tutors from England.

I think you missed my point. Despite growing up before there was really any class warfare or distinction of “poor” and “rich”, she was extremely well educated in English, Latin, and German. And went onto become a teacher herself. She was probably better educated than most of today’s high school graduates.

You think your great grandmother pre-dated class warfare and the distinction between rich and poor?

You think you are getting back funding. Oh my dear…

So if we leave it to the states, does that mean states can decline to follow his other proposals, like religion and patriotism?

I'm curious how her great grandmother would've taught herself to use a computer.

Which sucks, because my son has an IEP and he gets services 4 days/week. He’s mainstreamed and those services have been critical to his development.

But if you are in a blue state, they will remain. Probably enhanced because your state isn’t also carrying a taker state.

Of you are in a red state—- well, FAFO, I guess.

Congress is a majority Republican and eager to please the new King. I bet VA will be okay but Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama will probably close schools in poor areas.

They will be kept riled up and fighting the culture wars. The 1% doesn’t care one bit about fetal personhood or immigrants or crime. But it keeps the masses distracted while the 1% grifts.

The red state people will become dumber and more likely to keep voting maga.

That was before social media and the easy way those sites have of manipulating thought.

There is no curriculum mandated by the Federal Government.

So the DoE does what? Take a cut of the grant money before sending back to the states?

I would hope they would defund it completely. Let the states pay for it. Or at most block grant it. Per capita, not by need. Same Pell Grant fund to states with the same number of college age kids. Blue state kids would probably get double what red state kids do.

But let’s get real— Pell grants are gone. Bootstraps.

IDEA would still be federal law. They would still have some form of plan but without the Office of Civil Rights (protector of rights and IEPs for special education in the DOE) these plans may become harder to enforce.

I guess the goal is to keep everyone stupid and poor.

No just re route to other agencies

We can’t have students learning about *actual* history that’s not the American way.
I just read a quote where he said critical race theory or talk of stolen land means he’ll pull funding from that school.
Nothing about how crucial that is even if it needs to be tweaked—because without that, that’s how you have someone like him come to power.

You should see the Chinese history books. Nobody knows about The Great Famine.

"The Great Famine remains a taboo in China, where it is referred to euphemistically as the Three Years of Natural Disasters or the Three Years of Difficulties. Yang's monumental account, first published in Hong Kong, is banned in his homeland."

"Half a century on, the government still treats the famine as a natural disaster and denies the true death toll. "The root problem is the problem of the system. They don't dare to admit the system's problems … It might influence the legitimacy of the Communist party," Yang says."

Schools are the vector ultimately for wraparound federal services.

This is a big onion. It will take longer than one term.

IDEA is already not enforced.
