Trump vows to defund schools requiring vaccines for students if he's reelected

www.pbs.org Trump vows to defund schools requiring vaccines for students if he's reelected

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump again vowed to shut down the Education Department and endorsed a Louisiana law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools. He has also pledged to cut funding to schools with vaccine requirements. Laura Barrón-López discussed that with Dr. Paul...

so.... every school ever? Wait a minute this sounds like defunding the DOE but slightly different.
god the maga people are morons.
He'll find any way to defund education. Why? Because a dictator always "loves the poorly educated." Why? Because they're easier to control.

Get with the program, folks. Everything is about control.
- Power. Control is a byproduct.
  
  They want power.
  
  They already have the power. Control/subjugation is harder. It takes manipulation and requires subjects to comply and not rise up.
  
  The conservatives have already acquiesced to their "dear leader." It's the pesky liberals and progressives who have enough intelligence to know that what is happening is wrong. Get rid of that element and you have ultimate control.
  
  Control = More Power
- Also doesn't that open up to vouchers for Christian schools, which of course is a big bonus. I'm not from the States so fuzzy on how that side works exactly.
  
  Edit,I do mean a bonus for the fanatical right that wants a Christian state, not a bonus for freedom.
This country is so screwed if this guy gets into office. He's just vice-signaling to all the very worst elements in society.
- I can't see him going down without a fight if he loses. We are fucked what ever the outcome this November
  
  He already lost once while he was the president and we survived. He has much less power now. We're only fucked if he's handed it again.
Finding new ways to kill children.
From fuckin kids to killin kids, a true conservative

- Thought-terminating cliche
  
  (Psst. The use of alternating caps means the person you're responding to is being sarcastic. They already know it's a thought-terminating cliche. They're calling out how hypocritical it would be to even try to use that argument.)
So like 90+%? More? Nearly all public schools for like 30+ years before this twat waffle was elected?
Kill them or raise them uneducated. That's how you secure more voters.
sooo...basically all of them?
He... Literally helped expedite the research and roll out. Even if you like those words coming from his mouth you have to accept he's actively just saying words to lie to you...
- This is where I divide Republicans into two groups:
  
  Evil people who believe that Republican lies will serve them in some way.
  
  Stupid people who will believe the most outrageous lies.
- 100% - his administration is why Moderna’s Covid vaccine exists. His govt. funded the plants.
  
  Oh, you mean Operation Warp Speed, which Trump announced on May 15, 2020 after 100k deaths in the US?
  
  Did you know it was funded by the CARES act, which was introduced into the House by Democrat Joe Courtney on January 24, 2019? Yup, Democrats were introducing Coronavirus legislation over a year before Trump "Warp Speeded".
  
  But Trump completely bungle testing, couldnt make sure medical personnel had access to protective gear, he continually lied about how serious the pandemic was and spewed misinformation about quack cures like hydroxychloroquine. At a time when America needed unity, Republicans divided it with anti-mask rhetoric, which they continue even today.
  
  But yes, at least Trump signed the CARES Act bill. "Ta da"
- They will never accept that he lies to them. They just blindly accept anything he says.
His hands really are fucking tiny, what a loser
When it first began, Trump underestimated COVID and spun it as under control.
