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.

No. No need. The same pencils, markers, paper, and glue work from last year, just the same.

This is something I have never even stressed. You are acting like we are purchasing a car. I think this question is a fear mongering type of question.
