Trump to order US Education Department abolished, WSJ reports

welcome to Costco, I love you
- Costco is too woke for them, whatever woke means today.
  Edit: I get the reference, but we're not lucky enough to be in that smarter timeline

I can't wait for the poorest states (which are all red) to go bankrupt because parents can't go to work because their schools all closed.

They’re going to be disappointed when they find out the education department is basically just student loans and doesn’t set education policy for K-12 education. They distribute grants to K-12 schools but actual policy is mostly a state and local thing.
Also, they run a continuing education system in DC. I took a course in Mandarin before a trip to China once. I didn’t work for the government but there were classmates learning Mandarin for national security reasons who wouldn’t even tell me which agency they worked for.
TL/DR: The Department of Education isn’t setting policy for elementary or middle or high schools.
- Also if people think that this is going to be the deathblow to education in the U.S... it's been dead. It's a rotting, festering corpse. I've already seen public highschools in shitholes like Mississippi and Oklahoma pushing 4 years of Christian theology "electives." It'd be great if the DoE was setting education standards, because leaving it to the states has utterly failed.
  
  Even my highschool in california was full of teachers who didn't want to be there, would actively ignore the fact the class was behind and would "adjust" scores to make sure most everyone passed, even if they didn't try to learn anything

Get ready for bible belt motherfuckers to be even dumber and there to be no standardized anything. What's the point of having a federal government if you aren't going to federalize important things like education?
- Idiocracy was supposed to be a work of fiction, not a prophecy....
- We're going to be in for quite a generational gap and it'll be noticeable.
  Generation Graduates and Generation "Uhhhhhhhhhh...."

Great! So it's another blatantly unconstitutional order. Only Congress can cut funding to an agency or even change its name, let alone abolish it.
- and yet
  
  I have faith in congress to have no spine and do exactly what they are told by der-kommisar.

"I love the poorly educated"- Trump, 2016

This is what you voted for protest non-voters. Congratulations.
- This is what Biden solidified by refusing to prosecute Trump, refusing to stack courts, and refusing to espouse policy that would've won the election. Biden had a choice between beating Trump and continuing genocide, and he chose to genocide.
  The leftists' claim through this whole debacle has been that the democrats are controlled opposition, and the complete lack of resistance from democrats after Trump's victory should make it abundantly clear to you that they were correct.
  
  refusing to stack courts
  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_judges_appointed_by_Joe_Biden
  The total number of Biden Article III judgeship nominees confirmed by the United States Senate was 235, including one associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, 45 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 187 judges for the United States district courts and two judges for the United States Court of International Trade. Biden did not make any recess appointments to the federal courts.
  Biden had the most Article III judicial nominees confirmed during a president's first year in office since Ronald Reagan in 1981.[2] Biden appointed the most federal judges during the first two years of any presidency since John F. Kennedy.[3] Biden reached the milestone of 200 federal judicial confirmations on May 22, 2024. This rate of judicial confirmations exceeded the pace of Donald Trump in his first term.[4]
  
  Exhibit A. Congratulations!

Literally just giving the country an icepick lobotomy.

This together with the reduction of funds for universities is the ultimate proof that the administration does not value education as fundamental for society.
- Know what happens to the science and tech sectors in countries that don't support higher education?
  Thay becum dum dum.

This is going to HELP kids in RED STATES get JOBS!
- Something something need H1B something something not enough qualified Americans.
