The Marxists have essentially taken over this federal organization and it has been filtered down into the public schools over the past 50 years. Destroy it and start over.

The quality of education has dropped when we should be at or near the top. Somehow the department lost track of who the customers are. The students and the parents. People need to understand, this is not the elimination of the department, it is the right sizing of it.

After $3 trillion dollars spent on the DOE since 1979, test scores, reading rates, and global education rankings have dropped significantly. There are better ways to help the states educate their children.

Teacher's unions, bureaucracy, federal regulations have failed our kids. Give the power (and money) back to the schools and let teachers do what they do best, teach. No more common core nonsense, DEI, and lets start with reading. Reading, writing, arithmetic, the rest will figure itself out.

The DoE has no mandate in the constitution. Education policy should be determined and enforced at the local level as the founders intended.

How about you educate your only child Karen. Absolving your responsibility is what the government wants you to do.

Trump understands that. Anyone saying otherwise is not being truthful. MAGA supports all of those that truly need help. Too many have taken advantage of the system, and been allowed to do so. Soon, those worthy of need shall have more of it.

Whatever it takes. I'll support federal law enforcement efforts to clean up CoMo's crime problem as well.

Absolutely no reason for Military or ICE in MO or any state. Local law enforcement is present if needed.. Militant force against citizens in this country is unconstitutional. Another step to control citizens,further project 2025 and intimidate us and thwart 2025 and 2026 elections.

Inappropriate use of our talented national guard personnel. Local trouble is what we have local police for. Zaos, what if this was the zeitgeist when your ancestors arrived in this great land?

They are incompetent and don't need to stir the pot. They and ICE need to leave us alone. I'm tired of chaos and tired of us blaming the immigrants, when in reality, it's our fault for the slow process.

We should not be using military personnel on US soil unless ABSOLUTELY necessary (uncontrollable rioting, etc) This is about politics, not safety.

Do we really need the national guard to protect federal agents? This is a blatant abuse of American resources to support a xenophobic crackdown of our communities.
