Hilarious considering it was the Reagan administration that saved it from actually being eliminated, and the Bush administrations that expanded its power to push untested educational methods like on states and teachers. |
Clearly you were educated in a red state. |
Aren’t they going to pick the oranges? |
But they do, sort of. For one, DOE created No Child Left Behind, which forced every single public school in every state to make standardized tests the focus of the curriculum, and then report those results to the DOE and face punishment for not scoring high enough. Then they put out Common Core (a curriculum) and forced us all to align with that to one degree or another. The current state of education - abysmal - was nearly entirely shaped by the testing policies of NCLB, which teachers said then and are still saying did tremendous damage to the system, and to students. |
It was law makers who created NCLB, DOE just carried it out. |
Someone's got to since the immigrants will be in detention centers. Maybe that was the grand plan >> child labor. |
Sorry, but it's not a "leftist" agenda it's pushing. It began under Reagan and expanded under Bush II to push THEIR agenda, the goal of which was to prove that public education was failing (but forcing a harmful, illogical testing policy on schools and then making sure everyone eventually failed the test) so they could push their agenda of privatization of education. To not know that, you must be very young and a product of Bush's REPUBLICAN education policy. |

This has always been just a stupid right-wing talking point to brainwash idiots to distrust education so they remain easily susceptible to conspiracy theories and disinformation. Trump is supposed to know to not take it seriously. It will blow up in their faces because the whole thing is based on nothing. There is no legitimate reason to object to the U.S. Department of Education. What morons you all are. |
Yes teaching children about the constitution and stuff has to stop! |
Without the grants and free money, the tuition costs of college will go down. And schools will continue to find ways for poor people to attend. It's a numbers game and school survival is related to butts in seats to justify paying professors to justify having various departments. Schools that can't do this probably shouldn't be around anyway. Community colleges exist for a reason. |
And Common Core was pushed by Obama. All the DOE and any federal agency do is carry out the wishes of the president and congress through Acts, Laws, and Executive Orders. The DOE can decide it’s processes and how it’s getting done, but it’s just getting tasked out to them. |
Duh. You just answered your question. |
I bet you live in a less diverse New England state. |
