Trump to sign order to shut down Department of Education, White House says. The purpose of this is to keep people stupid enough to vote for Republicans.

  1. Don’t really think it will affect blue states that much

  2. And that will just for sure go for mainly all of those red states out there who would dare to try and once again vote Republican in this next set of elections. Of course everyone else will be just fine and way more than smart enough to vote Democrat just like they really should this time around BUT as for those who just won’t EVER choose to learn a huge lesson from this ongoing Trump shitshow from now right up until 2028, well, of course they’re gonna remain just WAAAAAAAY right out of touch with reality and hugely disagree with what we just REALLY stand for right after voting Republican anyway. And with all of that being said, regardless of how some of ya’ll folks out there see it, while all of the blue states in the whole entire country will all be just fine living their best lives and carrying on like there’s nothing wrong at all, all of the red states out there, including Alabama, Texas, Florida and even South Carolina, just won’t. Period.

  4. It’s not about making more stupid people. They don’t actually care either way about that.

    It is, as usual, about money and who gets the government handouts.

    What Republicans want and are unwilling to say is that they want more funds going to religious and private schools. You know, the places their donors not only send their kids to, but where teachers unions are practically non-existent (maybe entirely, I’m not looking it up).

    With the department out of the way, federal money allocated for education will be given directly to the states, and while not all states will be quick to dismantle their own public education systems you can bet more than a few will be quick to bolster funds not only to the schools I mentioned above but also start to break their own public schools and local teacher unions through the funding of Charter schools.

    At some point these states will get into Charter-based homeschooling. The state will mail participating students a free, crappy PC and the internet connection will be provided by Starlink. All paid for with fed and state taxes.

  5. Aside from the far reaching effects this will have on education in the country, my main concern with this is actually what’s gonna happen with my student loans?

  6. Next page oit of the Nazi handbook. Hitler turning Germany’s education system into a propaganda machine (same as already is happening in the US with whitewashing history, lying about slavery, and most recent calls to teach children that the 2020 election was stolen) not only left an entire generation of German children without the outstanding education Germanybwas known for, but also turned the land of the Dichter and Denker (poets and thinkers) into a country of brainwashed fools

  7. In step with destroying education, next week, he will announce that inbreeding is no longer illegal, ensuring future republican maga voters.

    /s….hopefully…

  8. The Department of Education does not educate people. They do however ensure school integration. This is a broader move to bring back segregation.

  10. The purpose of this is to privatize education so his pals can get richer

  11. This can only be undone by Congress not an EO, but by the time lawsuits are set to go, his cronies will fire off a lot of staff causing enough damage.
