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.

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.

I personally don't care, but I understand why it is important to so many. I'm embarrassed how bad our 'top tier' athletes are doing. Is this the best we have? I've seen Disney on Ice, couple of those folks surely could have been available.

Anything covered by the mainstream media is not worth paying attention to.
