Betsy DeVos Calls to Abolish the Department of Education​

Betsy DeVos, who served as the U.S. Secretary of Education under former President Donald Trump, has called for the abolishment of the Department of Education.​

​

Speaking at the “Moms for Liberty” summit, DeVos said the federal government should be removed from education, leaving it to state and local governments.​

​

“I personally think the Department of Education should not exist,” said DeVos, prompting a loud standing ovation from members of the audience, according to Florida Phoenix.​

​

Though DeVos acknowledged the good that teachers serve, including those in attendance at the summit, she blasted teachers unions as a “K-12 cartel.”​

​

The summit largely focused on how conservatives could win majorities in local school board elections with an aim to empower parental rights. The group “Moms for Liberty” sprung about in Florida during the pandemic in opposition to children being forced to mask in schools. As the summit unfolded, various speakers instructed participants on how to select and promote conservatives in local school board elections while other workshops instructed parents on legal strategies when battling far-left agendas like “gender ideology, in our schools,” “social and emotional learning” and “restorative justice.”​

​

“It’s wonderful that the Administration wants to advance school choice but a nationwide federal tax-credit scholarship program is the wrong way to do it,” said Lindsey Burke, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Education Policy. “This could open the door for further education regulations down the road that neutralize the advantages of private education as well as impede future tax reform efforts.”​

​

“Future administrations could use a federal tax-credit scholarship to require that schools adhere to certain admissions and accountability policies,” she added. “That would mean the federal government could further dictate testing, reporting, academic content, and even bathroom policies for all schools involved.”​

Yes!

Along with all the other agencies that steal our money and house lifelong bureaucrats.

The Fed should be cut IN HALF.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Yeah Betsy!

I've been say that for years. Does anyone actually support what the DOE does?

It takes till she is out of the position to finally say something correct. Better late than never.

The ED needs to go, there is no value added at all and if you look at student rankings vs the rest of the world you can make a great argument they do a great deal of harm.

 

[Meister]

The government will never get rid of its indoctrination vehicle

Blah, they say that every election.....The gop had two years of total control to get shed of it but Trump was denied by congress......It could have been defunded by the house to die on the vine but Ryan was a asshole.

Fuck that. Let’s abolish the War Department and all the spy agencies first.

 

[TNHarley]

Yes!

The Fed should be cut IN HALF.

I could argue for much more than half, but i would take 50%

 

[ColonelAngus]

Fuck that. Let’s abolish the War Department and all the spy agencies first.

Demonrats and Repugs.

2 sides of the same coin, huh?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Do you have a link to Trump pushing a bill to get rid of the ED? I do not recall that happening

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Demonrats and Repugs.

2 sides of the same coin, huh?

Odd

Betty is a great oligarch fascist.

Betty is a great oligarch fascist.

A fascist would support government agencies, not oppose them.

 

[TNHarley]

Betty is a great oligarch fascist.

Getting the fed gov out of education is fascist?

 

[bripat9643]

Fuck that. Let’s abolish the War Department and all the spy agencies first.

I would support getting rid of the FBI and all the other intelligence agencies.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

A fascist would support government agencies, not oppose them.

It does seem a tad hypocritical for her to make these claims after 4 years of being paid to lead the department.

While she is not wrong, her timing is suspect

Do you imagine she's going to say that when she's head of the DOE?

 

[bripat9643]

The AMWAY lady? Are you out of your mind?

Not at all.

 

[surada]

Betty is a great oligarch fascist.

She's never been involved in education much less public education. She's AMWAY! Talk about indoctrination!
