Beck says to abolish public schools.

Because like most cops, conjob is a racist who has nothing but disdain for the law (note: conjob is not a cop)

Racist... racist.... racist.....!!!

That's all you idiots can do is call someone a racist. Prove that most cops are racist. Prove that Conhog is a racist. Just saying it doesn't make it true, so either back up your claim or apologize.

A racist is someone who does racist things. conjob has called black people "*******" and claimed that they always have their hand out.

That is racist


Did he really say that? Wow. Does he claim not to be a racist then? If so, it makes sense him saying that really.

ConJob, good for you if you admit your a racist. I would rather a guy just say he is one up front than try to hide behind trigger words.

Go Conjob. Fucking racist! woohoo
 
Fed spending on education is less than 1% of all spending on education. 202 billion is peanuts. And most of the increased spending is to support charter schools
Logical fallacy .

Yeah Im always going to fail to read the report to you.

No need to read the entire report. Just quote the part that proves your point

Oh wait!!!.....You can't do that!!!:lol:

You will have to read it yourself. Skip directly to the end of the report to the appendix A through H to see the bloat by the numbers.

The appendices prove nothing about a bloated buraeucracy.
 
Department of Education: Other K-12
Programs
The Department of Education runs a
number of K-12 initiatives in addition to
those already listed (Appendix F), which
together account for more than $3.0 billion in
2004. Many of those programs, of course, distribute
numerous grants and administer several
subprograms. Some examples of those
programs are the $8.4 million Exchanges with
Historic Whaling and Trading Partners, the
$70.0 million Physical Education for Progress
program, and the $119.3 million Teaching of
Traditional American History initiative.

Snip

Exchanges with Historic Whaling and Trading
Partners. This program “supports culturally
based educational activities, internships,
apprenticeship programs, and exchanges for
Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and children
and families of Massachusetts.” It makes very
specific appropriations: “$2 million each for (1)
the New Bedford Whaling Museum in partnership
with the New Bedford Oceanarium in
Massachusetts and (2) the Inupiat Heritage
Center in Alaska; not less than $1 million each
for the New Trade Winds Project to (1) the
Alaska Native Heritage Center, (2) the Bishop
Museum in Hawaii, and (3) the Peabody Essex
Museum in Massachusetts; and not less than
$1 million each for the same three entities for
internship and apprenticeship programs.”52
Far from having national goals, this program
could hardly be more narrowly focused.
Moreover, though there might be interesting
things to learn from studying the cultures of
traditional trading partners, such knowledge
is hardly essential to an excellent K-12 education.
Nevertheless, in 2004 Congress appropriated
$8.5 million for this effort

Nah no bloat.

Arts in Education Model Development and
Dissemination Grants. Reasonable people can
disagree about whether or not a strong arts
component is required for an “excellent” education.
This program, which works to
strengthen arts education in elementary and
secondary schools,54 is therefore acceptable
under this heading.
At least two grant recipients, however, are
not, because they offer programs that can in
no way be construed as providing an “excellent”
education. The first, a partnership
between the Long Beach Unified School
District, Cal State University at Long Beach,
and an arts agency called Dramatic Results,
runs a project that “will provide systematic,
illustrated information showing how to use
basketry to provide quality arts instruction
and how to integrate basketry into the academic
curricula to strengthen instruction in
math.”55 A project literally relying on basket
weaving to teach about art and math? That
hardly seems conducive to establishing
“national excellence.”
The second grantee is Storybridge, a partnership
between Stagebridge, “a nationally
acclaimed theatre of seniors,” and the
Oakland Unified School District. Its mission
is to bring “storytelling, oral history, and
intergenerational theater by senior citizens to
at-risk, low-income urban elementary students.”
56 Worthwhile objectives, perhaps, but
oral story telling and “intergenerational
understanding” are hardly central to educational
excellence. Moreover, a district like
Oakland, California, which has performed so
poorly that the state took it over in 2003,57
would surely be better served by applying the
time and money spent on Storybridge to
teaching basic reading and writing. Together,
the Storybridge and Dramatic Results projects
have received nearly half a million dollars
from the federal government.58

Nah no bloat.

Umm, the claim was that there was a "bloated bureaucracy", not a "bloated budget"

Your excerpts say nothing about a bloated bureaucracy. It would help if you paid attention to what was being discussed.

Once again, we are not talking money. We are talking about a bloated bureaucracy.

No, you listed examples of "PROGRAMS" and their budget, not any bureaucracy

That's miniscule. I worked for a law firm that had almost as many employees.

Thanks for proving how small the DoE is :lol::lol:
