Education dept Union leader said majority of people who were let go were women and minorities. The people who weren’t fired were white men from conservative colleges

Another #unacceptable action that will have far-reaching implications that will set education back for years.
What is wrong with them?

The cabinet member that heads up that department has never been a teacher or had a job in a school, but she’s the one making the cuts. Well, with half of the department gone, she won’t need much of a salary now will she that could be a cost savings

The key to a successful dictatorship is an uneducated and easily controlled populace.

And a stupider populace will just be a side benefit.

MAGA doesn't believe in educating the masses. Stupid people can't accept educated people (woke). This is so sickening, all of it. FRENCH revolution coming to america.

Trump hates everyone who will survive him. Which, everyone will, he's 78, ate nothing but Big Macs, and lived like a snail.
He especially hates people who are moral, because they are a living affront to him.
He will stop at nothing to torture us/them. Until he leaves this earth.

Educators like myself have been trying to warn the general public about ongoing efforts to privatize US public education for *at minimum* two decades now…but no one would listen and take action. This was exacerbated significantly during the pandemic, and now it’s about to get so much worse…

It’s the best and fastest way to achieve their goal to grow an ever increasing and utterly stupid electorate.

Education leads to thinking, thinking is dangerous; it leads to asking questions.

This will happen around the nation.

What will happen to Title 1 programs? Title 1 under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1964 (Johnson administration) is funding for low income children. It is money for high poverty schools. Large sums go to rural schools where people voted for Trump—even Title 1 teachers.

It’s not legal. They’re attempting to gut it. Give the courts a chance.

Most of these doom and gloom headlines are giving up before we even begin to fight. Trump and Musk have lost so many court battles- even Amy Coney Barrett is turning against them. Don’t be like mainstream media and give in!
