I'm starting to think the Americans who are mad at the education their children are getting and are blaming the federal Department of Education for it might just be dumb as fuck.

And I'm starting to believe I live in surrounded by a herd of them. Never foresaw any of this though.
Nope, I know I do.
I need a slap a person woke machine. 🤔 I still haven't found the key to unlock the MAGA curse.
Spouse is a teacher. The kids that aren’t learning are the ones with asshole parents or shitty home situations. Complaining about your child’s education is a MASSIVE self-own (if you’re not a single parent or working multiple jobs).
it's giving "my parents spanked me and i turned out fine so i should get to spank my kids"
"i'm perfectly educated and i don't like the things my local schools are teaching my kids so we should dismantle the DoE so my kids learn what i think is correct"
Hey Cletus, them their Prezidunce Press seceretery; you know, the blond one with the big titties?! Well she said Trump is dismantalizing the Department Of Edumukashin and that that means it’s good for americans cuz there ain’t going be no more skool shootins’! “
Granted the reason that most of these people are mad is because public schools are teaching their kids things like "slavery was not so good" and "gay people exist"
I taught for a number of years at a school with a non-zero international student population and their parents, without fail, were astounded by how curriculum is set and by who.
I was speaking to a Trump voter about why they think the DOE should be dismantled, they say “They teach trans and gay ideology” 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ you just can’t make it up.
This is why you can’t count on collapsing public services to generate discontent. People will usually just blame the people running said service for collapsing.
They should blame themselves because education we learn at home, the school is there to help with the process of growing up. But if the parents don’t care to teach, then kids won’t care to learn because it’s their parents who gotta teach value of education, not the teachers
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

It's like complaining about zoning laws on the national level
