Failing to give poor kids a decent education is what they're all about.

So what's gonna happen to those poor kids when the schools get privatized and they have to pay money they don't have?

You don't care?

Yeah that

13 soldiers killed under Biden's handlers doing what he should have been doing.

13?
Out of the thousands killed in Bush’s nation building attempt

 

[Delldude]

The president promises to carry out the laws passed by Congress, whether they like them or not. If a president doesn't like a law, they work with congress to change it. It's a crime for a president or the people who work for him to single-handedly end a program Congress created. That's not how our government works.

13

Killed during Bidens botched Afghan withdrawal.

Thankfully Bush was the only president who attempted nation building.

 

[yeh]

The real agenda?! lol I guess grandma must have an agenda when she goes for grocery bargain buys.

There were none when we started the war with them.

Think so?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Governors in several Republican-led states are pressing the Trump administration to cut strings attached to their federal education money, a goal conservatives have long dreamed of that now appears within reach as President Donald Trump moves to dismantle the Education Department.

Iowa put itself forward as a test case this month, asking the Education Department to consolidate its federal aid into a single grant — called a “block grant” — with few spending requirements. Oklahoma submitted a similar request Tuesday, asking for more flexibility to steer federal money toward areas including private school and religious education options.

The idea has failed to gain support in Congress in the past, but Iowa and Oklahoma are suggesting the Trump administration has the power to act alone.

GOP-led states push for control of school aid as Trump promises a smaller federal role in education

This is a backdoor way to strengthen religious based private schools while weakening public schools and the unions representing public school teachers. And............

High school students in Oklahoma would be asked to identify “discrepancies” in the 2020 election as part of U.S. history classes, according to new social studies standards recently approved by the Oklahoma Board of Education.

The proposed standards seem to echo President Trump’s false claims about his 2020 defeat. They ask students to examine factors such as “the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states” and “the security risks of mail-in balloting.”

They now head to the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature, which could take up the issue before its term ends in late May, or punt the issue to the governor’s desk.

The Oklahoma Board of Education recently approved a new, more conservative social studies agenda that has irked even some Republicans.

Never under estimate how devious and agenda driven the people behind these actions are.

It is always about money and profits, with the people in power (Trump in this instance), pushing for the oligarchs that will benefit from the private schools. Fuck the poor that can't pay. They don't them educated as it means they will be against the rich

Who is saying all these schools will be privatized?

Or they can be sent to "free"(government funded) catholic schools and get turned into chomos.

That's not entirely true, Gram pa.

The DOE has spent umpteen billions of dollars over the years just so that our eduction standing in the world has gone down to 36th place. Democrats are always talking about investing in our future by spending money and yet this has been a terrible investment.

You recognize there are a myriad of factors contributing to test scores, right? Blaming it on the DoE, which spends a lot of resources on helping schools in poor, red states, is misguided.

Helping schools with expenditures is the state's responsibility.

Then put it where it should be, on many of the teachers and their unions.

When are you going to firebomb Trump Towers?

Are you in favor of violating the 1st A by allowing federal tax dollars to be spent on religious based private schools as they have asked to do in OK?

I see. So red states are at fault for having poor school districts in need of financial assistance?

There already are some types of funding allowed.

Illinois is a red state?

Every state knows best what they need and how to finance it. We don't need the middleman. Of course some states will have better results than others. BUT, we do know what happens when the federal government is involved - we go down to 36th place in world education rankings. Obviously, what were doing wasn't working while wasting money in doing it.

Most all states have balanced budget amendments while the US government can overspend 37 trillion dollars and doesn't have to worry about budgets. We can quit with national deficits by turning most expenditures over to the states where they can't overspend into oblivion and beyond.

I'll call that a confession on your part.
