"I expect it will [be shut down entirely]," Trump said on "Full Measure" with Sharyl Attkisson earlier this month. "You'll have a few people left just to make sure [the states are] teaching English -- you know, you say reading, writing and arithmetic."
This is absolutely devastating for kids and adults with disabilities. RSA is in the Dept of Ed, which funds state Vocational Rehabilitation agencies in every state.
Exactly. This will hurt the disabled and the disadvantaged. Rich people’s kids will be educated. Poor people’s kids, especially if the kid has a disability like a learning disability, will be done with school by 8th grade. They’ll be forced into endless service jobs. No upward mobility.
Yes and with no upward mobility it increases the chances for life-long decency on needs based benefits. Which yes, is a life line for many people, but it’s criminal to think one can survive on $967 per month. No one should be regulated to a life of poverty due to disability.
State VR is strictly funded by RSA (Dept of Education) which is different than local SPED. Once they graduate from HS or turn 22, they have to be served by the state adult VR agency, which is now in jeopardy.
The idiot wannabe king, who spawned idiot children, now wants the country’s children to join his idiot Nazi kingdom, so that a 5th grader can never be smarter than him again…
I really don't understand why this man is trying to destroy the country. I get the money grab and the power grab but why does he want to be king of a country in decline, where everyone is making due without?
So 1984...
Stop independent press...
Stop open education...
Stop scientific advances...
Commit to a multi continent alliance, in this case with Russia.
Just waiting for the rats...
They keep doing things without Congress because we have a spineless Congress. And we are in this mess because of a fraudulent election. No one wants to talk about it. In not addressing this issue, HISTORY WILL SHOW THAT IT WILL BE OUR GREATEST REGRET AS A NATION.
Go on, mate, you didn't already pass as a big twat in the eyes of the world. The only good news is that at some point you're really going to end up waking up and pissing off your people. Go to hell, you bastard.
Can we stop getting exercised by Trumps “Executive Orders”? They’re not worth the paper they’re printed on. Wake me up when he takes proposed legislation to Congress. @msnbc.com @cnn.com @nytimes.com @dahlialithwick.bsky.social @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social
Another day, another stupid pointless rant full of lies and false claims. Listening to all the imbeciles clapping everytime he spews the ridiculous rhetoric and childish name calling shows what a weak bunch of boot lickers they are.
The complete and utter lack of planning and communication regarding next steps or safeguards is astounding. These people clearly do not care. If they did, there would be clear communication. Feds to state, state to local districts, and districts to parents. Instead, silence and parents are panicked.
No. Don’t make people think this EO is a gimmick. Bad journalism.
He’ll understaff that department, he’ll do whatever he can to make it less effective. There are plenty of things he can do to severely weaken this department.
Reds keep insulting us, calling public school kids stupid. Since the DoE was created, we’ve all had a terrible education?
Must be nice to go to private schools, get Ivy League legacy admissions, and no college loans.
--Do any of them have a kid who didn’t go to college?
Sure, they're on our side.
As Trump dismantles education in an attempt to control Americans & normalize what’s not normal, learn from Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos talks about the genocide in Gaza.
Congress will pass it the democrats won’t find this to be one of those times they dig in and fight but their gonna want your votes I. 2026 I keep a record of every politician that breaks 1 of my values so I remember why I’m against them for life theirs no conversation after voting for a genocide!
They value education over there instead of wearing their ignorance like a bage of honor the way rednecks and hoodlums in 'Murica do so it's not necessary, This REALLY to make it easier to ram religion into public schools!
At some point the @democrats.org are going to have to grow some balls and fight. We are just going to lay down and let king trump rule by signing orders? I will never vote again. I give up. I am so sick and disappointed with the Dems. I need to see some serious pushback to get me back to vote.
This isn’t just another constitutional crisis—it’s the tipping point. If Trump wins this fight, the balance of power in America could be shattered forever. This article I wrote breaks down the battle for the Department of Education that could change everything.

That should then be deemed a national holiday!

He is going to greatly reduce the size which doesn't need congress...
#Trump is the ultimate #coward.
He keeps punching down. It's time for us to punch up.
Poor America!
America is lost!
(12 Democratic senators vote yes along with all Republicans)
......well FUCK.

There is no President.
