Trump administration tells states it’s freezing $6.8 billion for K-12 school programs
The Trump administration has put on hold $6.8 billion in federal funds for K-12 schools, according to an Education Department notice obtained by States Newsroom. [...] The agency informed states on Monday that it would be withholding funding for several programs, including before- and after-school programs, migrant education and English-language learning, among other initiatives.
Gotta keep 'em stupid so they can be conservatives when they grow up.

"I love the poorly educated"- Trump, 2016
Republicans have nothing but contempt for the poorly educated. And they're creating more of them, because Conservatism depends on ignorant people.
Send those poor and middle class kids to work, as Jesus intended.
I think it's time to sell everything and gtfo.

Says people should learn to speak English in America, cuts funding for English learning.
They want them already speaking it before they get here. They don’t want to spend the money to educate people outside of the bare minimum of what’s required to make Amerikkka run.
One of my classes I am currently taking for my grad program to get my master’s in elementary education will probably be discussing this.
Time for states to freeze payments to the Trump administration. He'll only grift them into his own pockets anyway. They can just fund their education programs directly.
I don't fucking care how hard it is logistically to do this, all blue states need to execute on withholding payments yesterday.
I myself have slashed my federal tax payments by ~75% for 2 years now and they can come get that money when I'm dead.
Who CARES? I don't have to use PRONOUNS when I talk to my Neighbor's 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER NOW!
-Literally EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN!
Trump wants us stupid, sick, and easily distracted.
...the conservative project for decades.
That’s why Donald loves the poorly uneducated.
Just send your kids to private school like a normal American -DJ Trump
Besides the hope that brown and black people would also be harmed, I wonder how the typical conservative voter thinks this kind of thing is going to help them?

Many are older without children in schools anymore and are happy they are not "paying to teach other people's kids" even though they themselves were the recipients of older Americans paying for them to go through public schools. Others are rich paying to send their kids to private schools or rich enough to pay to send them to religious school so they too are happy to not fund public schools. The last group are poor conservatives that can't afford private schools and have children in public schools. This group are "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" that aren't bothered because they'll be sending their kids to private schools "real soon now". They are just happen to be invited to the meetings tearing down society and the safety nets that sustain them everyday.

They're stupid.
That's how.
They're stupid because their regional educational system failed them. And that's why they don't have the intelligence to understand why underfunding education is a bad thing.
They want the churches to run the schools.
An uneducated population is easier to enslave
