Federal funding for University of Maine system frozen after schools violate Title VI and Title IX

Broad generalization is broad.

Understanding doesn't mean agreeing.

Fair enough.
When I started on this board I thought it was about discussion and debate. I realized after the thirtieth insult and troll, its not about agreement or understanding. We two could have a discussion. Most on here cannot.

What legislation is doing this block grant thing?

You know that's a function of law, and laws are passed by Congress. Converting funded programs to "block grants" isn't within the purview of the Office of the President.

I devolve to insult usually in about 5 pages of dealing with morons. I can play in the mud or in the sky, it's up to the opposition.

The DoE can exist as an agency that sets basic minimum federal standards so degrees and such can transfer between States.

That's within the purview of the federal government.

It can also handle standards for D.C, as D.C is not a State.

Not a function of government. That is done by accreditation organizations.

You sure spew out a lot of words for someone who "doesn't care" about the subject.

Sink worrier needs to get back to his dishes at the restaurant where he works.

It doesn't matter, that you just casually use a term like that shows you don't care what your ideological opposites think.

The stinkwarrior is an ideological creature. It CAN'T speak in normal terms.

Not a function of government. That is done by accreditation organizations.

It can be a function of the federal government, as it impacts issues crossing State lines.

States can issue their own standards as they see fit, as long as they meet those basic federal standards.

Accreditation orgs only VERIFY standards are met, standards are set by State governments so the requirements are binding to issue legal diplomas in a given State.

Excuse me...

Question...

What K-12 accreditation organization are y'all talking about?

Is the Department resulting in better education or worse than what we had before it was created? That's the salient question. If it's giving us better education, well and good. If not, why are we shoveling billions into another massive federal bureaucracy that's failing us?

Worse.
