Department of Education illegally dismantled by some dads who are still upset about that one day their kid came home from school and told them they’d learned about a Black person

Actually happened to a teacher at my school. She taught about who benefited the most in the 50s in America and a kid recorded her, and went to dad to say "this teacher is racist against white people." Dad tried to get her fired and is now on the school board cause he wanted a say in curriculum.😵💫
There is something behind this about Trump being a shit student and having to cheat to get by, so he hates the idea of anyone being smarter than him and/or getting a better education than he gave himself. This is his vengeance against all potentially good students.
He wants education privatized. DeVos did a bit. Some states are doing it now. Private, expensive schools get credit vouchers for tuition. FROM TAXPAYERS. We have a great local school. $12k/yr. Goal is these schools get tuition from Trump’s new plan. DOE gave poor states $. This $ will go to rich.
The possibility that his reckless actions cause social, economic and governmental collapse doesn't bother Musk, because in the ideological waters he swims in, destroying it all so it can be rebuilt as a tech-dystopian dictatorship is very much the point. https://www.salon.com/2025/03/17/t...
Christianity hates science and education. Dumbing down a society works in its favor. Their religion benefits from unhealthy, miserable, dumb people. A stable, healthy, educated society is bad for its business.
Trump pretends he can kill the Dept of Ed,
But an act of Congress is needed instead.
But that truth will never reach his base.
They’ll cheer for him as he lies to their face.
Trump’s attack on the Dept. of Education isn’t about “freedom”—it’s about fear. Certain dads couldn’t handle their kids learning actual history, so now 50 million students suffer. Ignorance isn’t patriotism; it’s a tool of control. #DefendEducation #StopWhitewashingHistory

In the evangelical school I came to be familiar with the evangelical view of education — or, to be more precise, their contempt for education. #BookBans
they showed this in a film history elective when i was in high school. I only remember the curb stomp making me want to physically hurt everyone in the room for not being visibly outraged. it took a while to recover from the trauma and accept how docile Americans are.
False premise - GOP is cowed into fear & subservience because they're afraid Musk will pay for them being primaried. If the incumbent sucks why would voters vote for the SAME OLD GOP ticket. Do they believe the electorate is that STUPID, as the Administration.
There are white kids supposedly taking history so personally that they have to have it sugarcoated. The one time a history lesson upset me was the lie of omission over Charles Lindbergh. And I must be made of stronger stuff than these kids since I saw Emmett Till's body in Jet magazine when I was 7.
Apparently teaching the nasty things (slavery, segregation, Native American genocide and land theft, 'expendable' Chinese mine workers) in history that white people did is 'white-hating' history as oppose to teaching only the events that make them appear superior is basically what it comes down to.

That's a bit fucking sexist.

The fascists will eliminate school shootings by eliminating schools.
Schumer voted for this.
