I mean, he's got a lot of experience running a private university, right? Surely, he knows what he is talking about.

Kids, it is important to read the rest of the story.

I’ll bet Dumb and Dumber Trump went to private schools and look how they turned out.

And they are destroying the good colleges too. US is going to lose the edge on the higher education system that attracts the best from around the world. I can’t believe this is the way it is going. Not much push back either.

Everything they do is about privatization w/o explaining that providing a universal service is by definition not efficient And so like housing poor folks will get the worst schools

If he is sending education back to the states, how can he go on punishing the state of Maine?

When a leader has no shame, no compassion, and no limit to the harm they’ll inflict—even on children—they’re not just dangerous, they’re inhumane. Silence in the face of that is complicity.

Exactly

When is it going to dawn on people that most of what he claims to “send back to the states” that is essential will need to be funded locally either through state taxes or fees to private companies??? Red states especially will pay more in the end.

Do not underestimate this.
“Sending education back to the states” is how segregation was enforced, science was censored, and entire generations were undereducated.
Trump’s plan opens the door to 50 different fights over what kids are allowed to learn.

It stinks worse than the chicken parts in my garbage can after a day or so. He's destroying everything he can get at so 'private' parties can be brought in to take over. Fomenting chaos isn't really a plan. It's just brutal destruction.

You are right. It is less about fixing anything and more about breaking it just enough for private interests to swoop in. That is not reform. It is a pattern we have seen before, just on a much bigger scale now.
