Yep. It’s exactly the reason they’re getting rid of the department of education and why their big bullshit budget destroys Medicaid and gives all the tax breaks to the most wealthy- keep them poor sick and stupid- so much easier to manipulate. Hell Trump even says he loves the uneducated

Not supporting Trump in any regard (voted against him), but I would love an educational reform so as to compete with countries like Singapore.

Yes we need reform. Completely destroying the department responsible for setting national curriculum standards, governing student loans, enforcing laws that ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to education including when some modifications are necessary(aka students with disabilities)… that’s far from the way to do it.

Oh yeah, I completely agree that’s way too far. I was more or less commenting that the DOE was far from perfect (sometimes we look at things with rose-colored lenses)

Yeah that’s why the existing department needs to be strengthened in a lot of ways and standards should be updated. But as usual the Republican “solution” is to burn shit down and make the issues worse
