Trump Moves To Dismantle Department of Education With New Order

they educate cheaper in pooland, so it saves even more money!

Not sure if you're from here but the Dept of Education doesn't actually have anything to do with educating kids in the US. That's all local.

As far as I'm aware, the primary purpose of the Dept of Edu is entirely college financial aid - they manage a combination of grants (direct payments) and subsidized loans (you're supposed to pay them back lmao). Yeah yeah there's some stuff about them suggesting curricula for children but each school district does its own thing and doesn't take marching orders from the federal level.

Rich lib states will continue to pour money into black schools. This will only affect poor white schools in Arkansas or some other shithole.

heck yeah

You pay them to whatever partner bank the doe had give you the loan. My federal loan provider is edufinancial.

He's going to auction it off along with the students next month when he repeals the 13th Amendment

Going to pick myself up some cute communication majors

Trump should cancel student loans. I would actually support this. He can dump it in with a bunch of other debt cancellation they can scramble up.

The federal DOE was created in 1980. Public education in the US is funded by a mixture of local, state, and federal funds.

Some states have 0% federal funding.

The fed DOE throws tons of money to try to standardize shit and create wacky new ways of approaching education and tons of makework infinite paperwork labyrinths so that a school can get fed money for synergy diversity inclusive emotional intelligence learning programs

Test scores across the USA have fallen ever since at least that's what mildly chuddy teachers tell me

The Department of Education hands out federal money to schools and colleges, including student loans. (It doesn't provide any education, itself.) It's long been used as a backdoor way to influence other things, like regulating how schools handle sexual assault or women's sports lest they be denied their funding—originally it had a big influence on desegregation—and that's why conservatives always say they'll abolish it. Schools employ a bunch of extra administrative staff just to handle compliance with those mandates.

What the implications are has always been vague because it doesn't really matter what department is doing those things, it's actual changes to the programs that would make a difference. You'd have to wait to see what plan Trump proposes to Congress and then what Congress actually passes.
