Trump Calls for Department of Education to Be ‘Closed Immediately’
President Donald Trump said he wanted the Department of Education to be "closed immediately," describing it as a "big con job."
Do conservatives still believe he isn't actively trying to destroy the country? Or, worse, believe that a generation of uneducated Americans is somehow going to make us a better country?
I'm sincerely curious.
If conservatives could read instead of being dumb as fucking bricks they'd be so angry!
Let's see how long it takes until you dumb mother motherfuckers wake up to what you did. I don't think it's going to happen, plenty of people you snowflake can continue to blame. Never took responsibility for anything and you won't start now.
As a rich white guy my heart goes out to all the people that will be hurt over this administration. And hopefully we can repair everything that will be destroyed. I have very little faith after they elected this orange piece of trash a second time.
Good fucking job
Conservatives think what they are told to think.
It was founded in 1980. It's not exactly an ancient institution, the power would go back to the states.

The department, established in 1867, faced opposition from congressmen who associated it with education for the formerly enslaved.
I think he's doing awesome. Closing down the dept of education isn't going to magically and suddenly make kids ignorant. You realize that he's not closing schools, right?
The department of education is what distributes funding to schools and sets standards for educational guidelines. Without it, certain states can and will say "well this rural town doesn't really need kids to go to school, they can become factory workers instead."
Want proof? Arkansas just recently signed a law that helps increase child labor.
Notice what year that downward trend really got going... Mid pandemic. The worst students, not being physically in the building to keep them focused performing worse is a pretty logical conclusion. Also the insane right wing onslaught against public education and teachers, on top of the abysmal pay, forced out a lot of teachers. Now we have nationwide shortages.
