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.

Trump has destroyed every thing. Living in a median begging for money for my booze...but still have my phone and EBT card.

Amen, to that Eric. I know exactly how you feel, and what you are saying. A liberal's interpretation of Proverbs 22:9. Your satire is exquisite.

Never had a big budget for holidays or birthdays. We have too much stuff already so we concentrate on time together and a few useful thoughtful gifts, often hand-made.

Obviously, an article regarding Christmas, will not get many views in a blue city like Columbia.

On Christmas, my kids often just ask me for meaningful advice. They are in their fifties, and they have learned enough to know, that they can always learn more. We still give each other the benefits of our skills that we have acquired over the years. These gifts are priceless, and they last forever.

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. The celebration focuses on the Incarnation, or God becoming human. You don't need money to celebrate that.
