[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is just rebranding the segregationist backlash to civil rights. Republicans want state and local schools to be permitted to discriminate against whomever they wish. [/quote]

We HAVE to keep spending $250 billion a year on the Department of Education.  They haven’t budged teat scores, but they might be able to fight racism in some way?  [/quote]

Reposting for the cheap seats in the back, dumb dumbs like you, and the truly in the dark so they don't fall for you crap:

Again, someone who completely misunderstands the Ed's mission. It is the SMALLEST cabinet dept because it has a few, discrete goals, and raising test scores is not one of them:

*Establishing policies on federal financial aid for education and distributing as well as monitoring those funds--hope no one you know filed FAFSA or needs free school lunch
*Collecting data on America's schools and disseminating research-this way we get to know LA and TX are at the bottom.
*Focusing national attention on key issues in education, and making recommendations for education reform--local school boards have the final say.
*Prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access to education--IEPs, IDEA, Title Nine.

So all this accomplishes is eliminating a tiny department that protects women, special education students, poor kids, and people trying to access higher ed.

Good work knowing nothing about anything[/quote]

“Establishing policies….collecting data, focusing national attention”….all for zero improvement in educational outcomes?  Yeah, the taxpayers would like their two trillion dollars back.[/quote]

You aren’t getting anything back, you are just getting less services from the Fed Govt. Also expect your State and Local Govt. taxes to rise in order to pay for services formally paid for either Fed Tax dollars.

Oh and vouchers there won’t be any not for religious schools, or charter schools, get ready for one room school houses, slate tablets and slop out if a good bucket lunches, in red states.

You can’t get blood from a stone after all . [/quote]

$250 Billion each year is an insanely huge amount of money.  [/quote]

Federal student aid for college takes up $160 billion of that. [/quote]
