They’ve already banned books, teaching of Black history, protections for LGBTQ youth, and failed to protect the IDEA. The Dept of Ed has been dead under Biden, hurting marginalized students throughout the country
Cool cool, let's put someone whose husband (and possibly herself) is currently under investigation for sex trafficking kids to be in charge of *checks notes* CHILDREN. Nothing could possibly go wrong there.
I worked in financial aid in Kansas. The biggest maggats threw the biggest fits about awards. Just wait till they realize their kids aren't getting Pell grants.
I was so cute and naive 8 years ago when I thought Betsy DeVos was the bottom of the barrel.
Ah for those halcyon days of my R senator praising Betsy by starting with "her mother was a teacher". That was the first time I realized parents' accomplishments were genetic. 🙄
Every parent who's child is bullied must call their states child protection agency. Flood the Department of Children & Families calls of abuse. If every state gets 10k calls re: teacher/perpetrator & their parent (guns) failure 2 protect may apply or other statutes in ur state. Call in all incidents
It might sound crazy but abuse occurs all the time in classrooms. Alternate schools exist 4 a reason & abuse (bullying is abuse: verbal, physical, mental) is the main reason. If egregious behavior, judges adjudicate youth 2 alternative programs. Make the law work 4 u. Ur call is anonymous.
The main reason the right do not support women's sports.
Girls that compete with each other in sports, then feel empowered to compete with boys in school, and men in career fields. Just not ladylike in their opinion.
Apparently experience in the field is not a requirement. Of course, when it comes to people leading education departments not having experience, we’re used to that in Tennessee.
I'm not sure Trump cares if most agencies stay or go. He is mainly concerned about DoJ, which could indicate him, and NSA, which could uncover his ties to Russia.
As long as the other agencies aren't doing anything expensive or useful, Trump will ignore them.
My gut feeling is that Trump was given the idea of eliminating the DoE from some ideologues, and really isn't interested in going to war over it. The agency staying or going doesn't affect him personally.
Law enforcement and intelligence are Trump's big concerns.
presidents don't control egg prices. There was an avian flu that affected chickens that resulted in higher egg prices. Trump is going to make everything significantly more expensive, but yall are too dense to understand that.
An Administration of Billionaires: so out of touch with the People.
Our Government should reflect the people of our country, instead we’re on the path to having Royals. 👑

He wants to de-woke colleges and privatize lower education levels.
Law enforcement and intelligence are Trump's big concerns.
The difference now is that the guardrails are gone, and he has minions to do the other bits.
How long the DOGE Boys last will also play a role.
How do people who voted for him justify this?
Eggs just got lost in the shuffle.

Tragic barely begins to describe the impact that would have.
We should TRIPLE that funding—not eliminate it.
