A department created and funded by congress cannot be eliminated without the approval of congress.
-
That was in the before time when the law mattered
-
They're trying to get around it by saying this does not actually shut down the DoE. All this executive order does is instruct Linda to, like, wind down operations, basically everything except collecting loans, surprise surprise. That way they can say they haven't closed the department and therefore it's not illegal. This is no doubt to buy time hoping that midterms give them a bigger majority to actually close it with Congress.

ms Linda mchamon was also in trumps first cabinet too, she was head of the SBA.
-

Legally, maybe. But who's going to stop him? Both houses of congress are controlled by Repugnicans.
-
hes going to illegally fire them, or prevent them from doing thier job, its a done deal anyways.

Idiocracy aged like fine wine

Anyone seen it lately? I can't decide if I'd think it's funny or just get depressed.
-
Watched it a couple of months ago. Still funny and divorced enough from what is going on that it doesn't give PTSD.

President Camacho still had a secretary of education
-
That movie taught me so much about electrolytes
-
They're what plants crave!

Good idea Donny...
Make your nation dumber... You'll really compete on the global market that way!
-
It's the only way Republicans can stay in power. The dumber the nation, the more likely they vote republican.
-
or to make them ignorant to whatever republicans do behind the scenes with no pushback. they already have most rural areas in thier backpocket, they have moved onto middle and upper middle class "disenfranchised people"

While this certainly doesn’t help our already failing primary education system, the department of education mostly works with grants and loans and continued education (GED), ensuring a safe learning environment, aiding those with disabilities, etc. You know, the bare minimum governments should be doing.

Monkey brain just likes showing off his signature

-
Me pres i dent me make ex ec u tive order & me sign my own name!!!

The fact that they staged this with Trump, surrounded by children in school outfits and desks... Bruh.
-
At least they made sure a wide variety of races, ethnicities, and religions were represented. Isn't there an acronym for that?
-
That's just the classroom he works in daily, practicing his signature and showing it to the teacher (pictured)
-
They were practicing his signature. It’s a new version of auto pen, with child labor
-
-
Asshole. Fucking dickwad asshole.
-
To be fair his supporters weren't using the education dept anyway
-
If it is anything like the draft of the EO, it doesn't actually do anything.

It does sound strange to an educated person, but in a generation or so the populace wouldn't be educated enough to know any better.
And that is just republicans admitting that only stupid people vote for them; not that elections will ever take place again anyways.
a generation??? the populace ALREADY doesn't know any better... like... they voted for him (or were indifferent enough to not show up at the polls, which is almost the same thing)
Yup. This goes way deeper than Trump, conservative undermining of education has been in the works for decades, since Reagan. Adam Conover explains it well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlAb_8bDHjE
That’s the part that made me the most upset is… YOU ALWAYS VOTE! Regardless of party affiliation! People in other countries do NOT have the PRIVILEGE that our nation FOUGHT to protect and at the VERY FUCKING LEAST you can do is… get off your lazy asses and VOTE!
I think it’s embarrassing that “undecided” is even an option, it’s a fucking choice; do your damn research, read many articles, don’t fall prey to the US gaslighting propaganda on all MAJOR news channels, follow both candidates, and if at that point; you still have reached the, “Owen Wilson Idiocracy Affect” flip a fucking coin… but for the love of god vote!
OMISSION of voting resulted in this travesty… no excuses you have the same internet we all have, yet you CHOOSE this and now we all have to suffer, just fucking lovely.
Honestly, since we fought for our rights to vote and gained them from the British all we have done is eventually bring us right back to that same fate and demise! Germany is looking a hell of a lot better than the US in recent years, we can’t even elect a woman president! 🤦🏽♀️ and we don’t even crack the top ten lists in anything… but yes, gut education, that will make us great again?!
New MAGA slogan: Make America God Awful
Agreed, but if it's that bad now wait until the next generation grows up without an education; you won't even need an electoral college or gerrymandering to swing votes.
Again, not like a vote will ever take place in the US anymore. Kings don't need elections to stay in power.
you have russia more or less. even an college educated person falls into right wing sphere of influence, especially if they consume right wing grifters/influencers, + and are still religious to a degree. ive seen a poc youutber convince his viewers how degee is totally uselsess, and made some other rant. but old fans knowing the history of the channel (when he was more humble), he just projecting his failures of his own education, He had a PSYCH degree and became bitter how he never could find a job from it. psych needs grad school+ clinical experiences. ive seen this in person people choose psych because its an Easy degree to finish with a "sciency sounding degree" only to complain about it after graduation. the other asian channel co-owner is even dumber than he is, and he allegedly couldve applied to medical school,(though i think he was exaggerating the truth.) because he shocked everyone in the video and comments because he couldnt tell the difference between a womans coochie and her pee hole.
