DoE doesn’t do curriculum really that’s the states.

So, the DoE exists to do what exactly?

You’re on the bandwagon to destroy an agency that you haven’t the faintest idea of what it does?! This is the problem! This is why I don’t like Trump and his nominees. They’re all grossly ignorant about government.

Do you know why the DOE was created?

Also, some backward states will have a low bar for academic performance and measurements, like they could force teachers to teach creationism in science rather than actual science. Those kids will be at a disadvantage for college admissions. Oh, that's right.. MAGA don't think people should go to college, except for the children of MAGA leaders. I guess your goal is to keep the base stupid.

Are there creationist colleges? They would have an advantage in getting admitted to those.

Maybe Oral Roberts college or Liberty?

The MITs of creationism.

Its sprawl contributes substantially both to our budget deficit, which in turn drives our debt up, crowding out capital for private investment which would in turn drive productivity. At the same time, the larger bureaucracy gets, the more things it sticks its nose into things to feel busy, which likewise drives productivity down. DoE is probably the worst. It is very new (Carter Administration) and our national education performance has plummeted since its inception. There is no evidence that it is effective at doing anything other than increasing local district workloads and stifling educational innovation, and it costs a lot of money. At this point, elimination would at worst be a natural experiment that fails; our education can't get much worse. At best we will see a renaissance as local schools innovate and best practices are unearthed. I understand that many D.C. residents are terrified at what this and other moves will do to our local economy, but nationally, there is broad support for this. It's not hard to see why.

Sigh. So much incorrect information. Let's start with this does nothing to local DC economy. He wants you to believe that so that when we tell you this move is a mistake, you think we are acting out of self interest for our economy. We're not. Our economy will be just fine one way or the other. You are allowing yourself to be manipulated.

So says a professional manipulator from the edu-industrial lobby complex.

The Charter School lobby is heavily involved here too. They want that voucher money.

+1

They are working hard in VA too.

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.

Um.. your great grandmother didn't live in a tech heavy society. She lived in a society where a HS education could get you a decent paying job. That's not the case anymore.

Wow, some people are seriously dumb about education.

Only because we now require a college degree to work at the Gap as a sales clerk.

Better a person be educated than not, but I guess MAGA's goal is to make Americans stupid.

Yes, this is the bottom line. Sadly, with less education comes weaker democracy.

This is an exaggeration and lie. But the fact remains, being educated is a lifelong pursuit regardless of what job anyone has. In a democracy, having an educated electorate makes for a better country.

I am hopeful that blue states will be saving lots of money by no longer subsidizing those "low tax" red states.

Rich people in blue states will save money from tax cuts. Doesn't mean that money goes to state budgets.

The point is that the red States voted to no longer get education subsidies from the federal government. They are on their own and that is how they want it.

A lot of blue States, strong in education, aren't getting Federal money right now to do it. You're not going to miss something you don't have anyway.
