"Last week, Trump signed another education-related order to expand school choice, directing the Education Department to issue guidance to states within 60 days about how they can use federal funds to boost school choice programs in their states."

Kinda tough to do that if he closes the Ed. Dept.

Welcome to the world of "Opportunity Classes" where children who have learning difficulties can be lumped together with no service for the some the highlight of their day will be to empty waste baskets..
PL 94-142 and The No Child Left Behind Legislation will tossed into the waste bin of history.

Let’s see now, we don’t want immigrants but we’re tearing apart education so who will our scientists and doctors be ?🤨

Shocking I tell you just shocking

mawm.bsky.social•18 days ago

He can certainly wreck it. Doubts? Look at what Ryan Walters has done in Oklahoma

joes2blue.bsky.social•19 days ago

You know, if he got rid of education entirely, he could probably stay in power forever.

gloria6262.bsky.social•19 days ago

Trump is dummy that failed in school. He should have gone to our public schools. So we could have whipped his fat ass

crazy, crazy, crazy‼️😬

sohisolo0.bsky.social•19 days ago

What did they say to their followers to vilify the DOE in order to “justify” this?

Genuinely curious bc any dumbass, especially with children should be opposed to this.

mama2grits.bsky.social•19 days ago

Disgusting. As someone who worked for public schools almost my whole life this is frightening. I’m glad I retired.

jvsylvester.bsky.social•19 days ago

What's -- in his mind -- to keep him from "issuing an order" to expand the Supreme Court. If he's ignoring other statutes, why not the Judiciary Act as well?

david-stone.bsky.social•19 days ago

Any government agency or department with a "we the people" focus is on the chopping block. As I've said many times before:

Dems: "How can we help?"
GOP: "F*ck you!"

exitbow.bsky.social•19 days ago

Just can't keep in his lane, can he?

purelyamuse.bsky.social•19 days ago

I have had three kids in special education. I cannot imagine how they would do in school without their IEP’s and the mandatory use of them in their schools. I’m so concerned for all US kids.

dapperdamesnysd.bsky.social•19 days ago

Let’s see if some republicans still have a spine. The senators don’t

terp80.bsky.social•19 days ago

I think Trump is on track to make Congress an advisory board and not its own entity. Trump can do what he wants and the Supreme Court will rubber stamp it. Trump can eliminate presidential elections, which he has hinted at. We may never see another Dem in the WH.

If only there was a way in which this could have been predicted…

Translation: White House preparing executive order to make America as dumb and stupid as Trump is

dog-the-wag.bsky.social•19 days ago

77+million already are.

darkangel224.bsky.social•19 days ago

Why not make more while they’re at it 🤷🏾‍♂️

dog-the-wag.bsky.social•19 days ago

Exactly -I guess it wasn’t enough for them that those people were stupid enough to hand him out democracy-they need to dumbify us all.

diannelou.bsky.social•19 days ago

should have put this fucker in prison

imperfectpitch.bsky.social•19 days ago

I wonder what those Kentucky educators who voted for Trump think right now….

tedecho.bsky.social•19 days ago

Can you do that with an EO?

funnynora.bsky.social•19 days ago

Just because he “may” not does not seem to mean he “cannot.”

aussiedamo.bsky.social•19 days ago

Correct me if I’m wrong. But an EO can’t do that.

writerwithcats.bsky.social•19 days ago

For someone who had no idea what Project 2025 was, the little bastard seems to be initiating it one goosestep at a time.

tedecho.bsky.social•19 days ago

I can’t believe anyone actually believed him lol.

writerwithcats.bsky.social•19 days ago

You'd think people learned from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2016 to 2024 but I guess not. 🙄

blueshirts.bsky.social•19 days ago

Apparently Trump doesn't need anybody's approval to do what he wants. Congress might as well take the buyout offer and go home.

rebecca-furniss.bsky.social•19 days ago

Further Proof he truly does “Love the Poorly Educated”Geeezz We Must STOP this

minorkey68.bsky.social•19 days ago

I hate them

xpatngdl.bsky.social•19 days ago

They get all of their education from Fox🤣🤣🤣

meehope.bsky.social•19 days ago

My concern is so many things are happening that the focus and responses are so spread out. Musk developers making code changes to our government software and pushing those changes straight into Production is alarming and I only see Wired and TPM covering that. I called my representatives.

meehope.bsky.social•19 days ago

See TPM Musk Cronies Dive Into Treasury Dept Payments Code Base, also read Heather Cox Richardson Letters from an American newsletter.

peggystuart.bsky.social•19 days ago

Will they stop him, though! He's operating a bulldozer!

ixzist.bsky.social•19 days ago

Congress has pretty much signed off on Trump. It’s up to us now.

mark-melbin.bsky.social•19 days ago

The problem that led to two Trump wins and Brexit is misinformation.

The solution to winning the information war is to educate children about misinformation and critical thinking.

Trump and Putin fear education.

Finland is miles ahead of the curve.

Does anyone seriously think this would stop THIS President with THIS Congress? The only hope (and I am not sure about this) would be if the Senate had to vote for this and it took 60 votes in favor for this to happen
