Get ready for bible belt motherfuckers to be even dumber and there to be no standardized anything. What’s the point of having a federal government if you aren’t going to federalize important things like education?
Idiocracy was supposed to be a work of fiction, not a prophecy…
It’s worse. In Idiocracy, the President actually tries to fix the problem.
By trying to find the smartest guy around to get expert advice from no less.
Now, now, Trump does have Musk. I’ve been told he’s the real life Tony Stark.
Can’t wait to see his solution to hydrate crops.
Transgender, transgenic, they both start with trans, so they are the same thing.
Hydrate, Hydrazine…
With electrolytes… it’s got what plants crave.
Been saying it is a prophecy since it dropped. Mike Judge is a prophet.
We’re going to be in for quite a generational gap and it’ll be noticeable.
Generation Graduates and Generation “Uhhhhhhhhhh…”
Great! So it’s another blatantly unconstitutional order. Only Congress can cut funding to an agency or even change its name, let alone abolish it.
and yet
I have faith in congress to have no spine and do exactly what they are told by der-kommisar.
And what does this say about the newly confirmed Secretary of Education? The whole point of having such a position at the Cabinet level is to give Congress some control over executive departments.
“I love the poorly educated”- Trump, 2016
Noone would ever doubt that he loves himself.
They’re going to be disappointed when they find out the education department is basically just student loans and doesn’t set education policy for K-12 education. They distribute grants to K-12 schools but actual policy is mostly a state and local thing.
Also, they run a continuing education system in DC. I took a course in Mandarin before a trip to China once. I didn’t work for the government but there were classmates learning Mandarin for national security reasons who wouldn’t even tell me which agency they worked for.
TL/DR: The Department of Education isn’t setting policy for elementary or middle or high schools.
Also if people think that this is going to be the deathblow to education in the U.S… it’s been dead. It’s a rotting, festering corpse. I’ve already seen public highschools in shitholes like Mississippi and Oklahoma pushing 4 years of Christian theology “electives.” It’d be great if the DoE was setting education standards, because leaving it to the states has utterly failed.
Even my highschool in california was full of teachers who didn’t want to be there, would actively ignore the fact the class was behind and would “adjust” scores to make sure most everyone passed, even if they didn’t try to learn anything
It’s bad in the richest bluest states too. Unless you’re living in the suburbs going to a district that serves upper class families, the education system in the US will invariably fail you in one way or another
They don’t really want to abolish it. They want to privatize it. So that the wealthy can make money off of Americans suffering.
welcome to Costco, I love you
Costco is too woke for them, whatever woke means today.
Edit: I get the reference, but we’re not lucky enough to be in that smarter timeline
Woke (adj.) - the quality of giving a shit about other people, especially those you have no relationship to
We’d be lucky if our big problem was running out of burrito coverings.
This is what you voted for protest non-voters. Congratulations.
A healthy, broadly educated population that feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.
I can’t wait for the poorest states (which are all red) to go bankrupt because parents can’t go to work because their schools all closed.
You think they won’t simply abandon their children at home anyway? Look at how careless they are about securing their firearms around kids.
Most red voters are so under educated that it’s not really their fault.
The schools won’t be closed. They’ll be Christian brainwashing centers.
They want a large mass of imbeciles because they’re easy to control, and do the worst jobs for the lowest pay.
Rich people are rich, and therefore can afford the better private education.
MAGA by bringing back US manufacturing, which means creating developing world conditions, thus enabling it to become a sweatshop.
This is going to HELP kids in RED STATES get JOBS!
Something something need H1B something something not enough qualified Americans.
This together with the reduction of funds for universities is the ultimate proof that the administration does not value education as fundamental for society.
Know what happens to the science and tech sectors in countries that don’t support higher education?
Thay becum dum dum.
True. Source: Am from a country without support for (good) higher education. Our science and tech sectors are dum dum. Don’t becum like us.
MADA in full effect these days…
Make America Dumb Again
Man, all that money saved will trickle down at tax cuts for the poorest any day now
Hanlon didn’t prepare me for malicious morons fuck
