They’re going to be disappointed when they find out the education department is basically just student loans and doesn’t set education policy for K-12 education. They distribute grants to K-12 schools but actual policy is mostly a state and local thing.
Also, they run a continuing education system in DC. I took a course in Mandarin before a trip to China once. I didn’t work for the government but there were classmates learning Mandarin for national security reasons who wouldn’t even tell me which agency they worked for.
TL/DR: The Department of Education isn’t setting policy for elementary or middle or high schools.
Also if people think that this is going to be the deathblow to education in the U.S... it's been dead. It's a rotting, festering corpse. I've already seen public highschools in shitholes like Mississippi and Oklahoma pushing 4 years of Christian theology "electives." It'd be great if the DoE was setting education standards, because leaving it to the states has utterly failed.
Even my highschool in california was full of teachers who didn't want to be there, would actively ignore the fact the class was behind and would "adjust" scores to make sure most everyone passed, even if they didn't try to learn anything
It’s bad in the richest bluest states too. Unless you’re living in the suburbs going to a district that serves upper class families, the education system in the US will invariably fail you in one way or another
welcome to Costco, I love you
Costco is too woke for them, whatever woke means today.
Edit: I get the reference, but we're not lucky enough to be in that smarter timeline
Woke (adj.) - the quality of giving a shit about other people, especially those you have no relationship to
We'd be lucky if our big problem was running out of burrito coverings.
This is what you voted for protest non-voters. Congratulations.
This is what Biden solidified by refusing to prosecute Trump, refusing to stack courts, and refusing to espouse policy that would've won the election. Biden had a choice between beating Trump and continuing genocide, and he chose to genocide.
The leftists' claim through this whole debacle has been that the democrats are controlled opposition, and the complete lack of resistance from democrats after Trump's victory should make it abundantly clear to you that they were correct.
refusing to stack courts
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_judges_appointed_by_Joe_Biden
The total number of Biden Article III judgeship nominees confirmed by the United States Senate was 235, including one associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, 45 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 187 judges for the United States district courts and two judges for the United States Court of International Trade. Biden did not make any recess appointments to the federal courts.
Biden had the most Article III judicial nominees confirmed during a president's first year in office since Ronald Reagan in 1981.[2] Biden appointed the most federal judges during the first two years of any presidency since John F. Kennedy.[3] Biden reached the milestone of 200 federal judicial confirmations on May 22, 2024. This rate of judicial confirmations exceeded the pace of Donald Trump in his first term.[4]
Exhibit A. Congratulations!
Two things can be true.
I can't wait for the poorest states (which are all red) to go bankrupt because parents can't go to work because their schools all closed.
You think they won't simply abandon their children at home anyway? Look at how careless they are about securing their firearms around kids.
Most red voters are so under educated that it's not really their fault.
The schools won't be closed. They'll be Christian brainwashing centers.
A healthy, broadly educated population that feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.
This together with the reduction of funds for universities is the ultimate proof that the administration does not value education as fundamental for society.
Know what happens to the science and tech sectors in countries that don't support higher education?
Thay becum dum dum.
True. Source: Am from a country without support for (good) higher education. Our science and tech sectors are dum dum. Don't becum like us.
They want a large mass of imbeciles because they're easy to control, and do the worst jobs for the lowest pay.
Rich people are rich, and therefore can afford the better private education.
