President Trump signs EO shutting down the Dept of Education

He and W seem(ed) to like to talk to the public on a 6th grade level. Seems(ed) to work. I hardly watch any speeches because they are usually mind-numbingly boring.
 
He needs to communicate his vision here much better. Not to me. Not to you. But most people do not pay attention to anything more than I few headlines.
I agree completely. This is a move that needs to be sold. And it's an easy sell, just remind the public of where our educational ranks are vs the rest of the world, and detail what it will be replaced with. Moderates in particular will panic over moves like this if the reasoning for it isn't carefully laid out.

Another example of how Trump supporters have no problem criticizing Trump, and do so as adults. Hope @GatorTheo is taking notes.

He should have had the original Act that created it read aloud so everyone could hear what it was supposed to do, then spend time showing everyone what it was actually doing.
 
Reagan was one vote shy from eliminating it in 1983 but a RINO in the Senate like Theo voted it down. 🤬🤬🤬
I believe we fell one vote short around that time from sending the balanced budget amendment to the states for ratification! 40 years of deficit spending! 36T in debt!

Something we NEVER see the other side do.....

Y'all just wanna call me names. I'll tell ya again but I know it won't matter. I cannot be a 'rino' because I am not a republican. I'm NPA.

I'm not 100% in favor of eliminating DOE. I'd like to see them focus on making sure all American children have an OPPORTUNITY for a world class education. Leaving it up to the states could end up like leaving voting up to the states....a mish mash of quality and crap.

How does forcing educational uniformity at the federal level ensure quality?

Explain how ending DOE takes this away. (THEN you will have the obvious answer)
 
Public education in this country has become an absolute embarrassment with the national test scores. Many of us or most of us who got a public education did so without a dept of education. I don't think I suffered for it.

Two of the most destructive words in this country are "teachers union". What we need is a students union to fight for the kids, because it sure ain't the dems.

A mosh mash of quality and crap is a step in the right direction
