Not an impediment if you are born rich or believe in trickle down.

roosir.bsky.social•42 days ago

yeah...who needs education?

ldhk.bsky.social•43 days ago

That includes the incoming President.

You can’t fix stupid.

However, the DOE doesn’t set school curriculum. That is left to the states and local school boards.

We finally have our answer:no, Mr President, the children is not learning.

What boring garbage were they given to read in grammar school?

We're so screwed.

Never ignore the fact that slaves were not allowed to learn to read

Unfortunately, I remembered that most of my university mates in SDSU were low in math and English skills. I changed to UCSD. students had very skills in such maths and English. Why?

SDSU emphasises in sports such football. Baseball and basketball to keep a party atmosphere like in high school

russwhite5052.bsky.social•42 days ago

I believe it.

bluewest18.bsky.social•43 days ago

There is no reason to ban books when you create a nation of people unable to read them.

martinsammon.bsky.social•43 days ago

👍

bluewest18.bsky.social•43 days ago

Fox News disparagingly calls people with an education who can speak in complete sentences "The Elites."

maireathena.bsky.social•42 days ago

Having an uneducated electorate has been a major objective of the GOP for decades. Uneducated voters believe disinformation and vote based on fear not facts.

amybee.bsky.social•43 days ago

They can almost sorta read a headline, what more do you want, sheesh.

sbq.bsky.social•42 days ago

Dissolving the Dept of Education will help because they won't have any data moving forward.

bridgetd1.bsky.social•43 days ago

It's what the Republicans want...

rosexox.bsky.social•42 days ago

Interesting what group of smart people approved this

readingtrees.bsky.social•41 days ago

I recently retired from leadership in adult education in the nonprofit sector and I have followed the data.

130 million quadruples

the number

of people in the data,

before the covid pandemic happened.

Libraries can help with literacy. Oh wait! Aren’t they also on some sort of $hit list?

spock24.bsky.social•43 days ago

It will help keep them like that so they can keep voting as they have.

the-thc-ministry.bsky.social•43 days ago

mamuofthewest.bsky.social•42 days ago

And just keep banning books…

jrriver.bsky.social•43 days ago

People who can’t read make better slaves.

nojustdan.bsky.social•43 days ago

Keep em dumb so they watch Fox News and vote against their own interests.

broekn.bsky.social•43 days ago

Trump wants NO ONE in America to read well enough to develop critical analysis skills required to THINK -the illiterate population is who 'elected' him

read to your kids, take them to libraries - while we can -DEMAND literacy from our schools & ensure it happens

We can't afford more illiterates

drakonislumen.bsky.social•43 days ago

The anti-education rhetoric is concerning. They scream “indoctrination”… then attempt to push Christian nationalism.

vacatmom3.bsky.social•42 days ago

This fact totally amazes me. I was educated in a two room segregated school. My teacher inspired reading in my blood and I still read every day. I will jump on the bandwagon and blame social media. But choice plays a role in laziness too!

stevethdemocrat.bsky.social•43 days ago

🤔About the same number that didn't vote for Kamala.😒

maz42.bsky.social•43 days ago

*Moms for tyranny

maryhilt.bsky.social•43 days ago

It shouldn't make much difference now-the Christian nationalists have already made sure nobody can read.

pearlpearl1.bsky.social•42 days ago

There. Are. No. Words.
Literally …
There. Are. No. Words. 😬👿😠😡😔😠😡

shawndra.bsky.social•43 days ago

That’s the point. They don’t want an educated society. They don’t want critical thinkers. Think of how much better this country would be if they invested more in education and less in military spending.

cali-gal-in-pa.bsky.social•42 days ago

The illiterate are being led by the illiterate. Trump can't read.

mother-of-mastiffs.bsky.social•43 days ago

No shit

tiredofthisshit.bsky.social•42 days ago

I'm sure electing a moron with a kindergarten vocabulary will help too.

virginiecady.bsky.social•42 days ago

Trump speaks like them. They feel heard and understood. It's a scam. We all know he doesn't give a FF about those. They don't. And they wouldn't believe it even if he told them.

rainydayboater.bsky.social•43 days ago

And it shows.

atouchofwanderlust.bsky.social•42 days ago

My fiancé is a 7th grade history teacher and some of his students can’t read. This shit started with Bush and his no child left behind nonsense.

5pearlz.bsky.social•42 days ago

One of the reasons his cult members worship him. They’re simply too stupid to know the difference.

debrown44.bsky.social•42 days ago

And that “stupidity” allows him to appeal to their mob spirit.

5pearlz.bsky.social•42 days ago

Exactly!
