Summary
The White House is drafting an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, aligning with Trump’s long-standing pledge.
However, Congress must approve the agency’s abolition, making its passage unlikely despite GOP control. Critics, including the National Education Association, warn this move would harm students, increase costs, and weaken protections.
GOP lawmakers have repeatedly attempted to eliminate the department since its 1979 founding.
Trump also recently signed an order expanding school choice, reinforcing the Republican agenda of decentralizing education policy.

This is one people should seriously protest to fucking stop. Education is the one thing that levels the playing field for people across different socioeconomic backgrounds. Get on the phone to your representatives, this is the main one they were working towards and wanted to distract from!

Exactly, and that’ll be why it’s one of the first things they want to piss all over.

And the sad part is that a lot of teachers voted for Cheetolini.
What possible reason could they have for voting so directly against their own interests?
My honest guess? A misinformation campaign and a complete misunderstanding of Cheetolini’s platform which had quite a few fill in the blanks type “policies”, that made people imagine whatever they wanted into his campaign promises.
that will… teach them?
If NBC thinks he needs an act of Congress then they haven’t been paying paying attention to USAID.
Who the fuck am I kidding, they know damn well what’s going on and refuse to print it.
So how is Betsy DeVos gonna siphon money for public schools to provide schools?

Is this better or worse then him packing the Department of Education with ideologues?
Almost forgot Congress was a thing since there’s been little to no mention about them in this shit circus
Don’t worry, Congress holds the purse/wallet so nothing can get done without their approval as they have the spending power. That is unless they hijack the payment systems to no longer require congress and making complete control one step closer…
Ohhhh… wait…
That’s by design, they stay silent and don’t take the polling hit.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
Keep people dumb. Write their own history to “educate” the dumb. Sounds about right.
For this reason, if you have anything with at least 32 GB of RAM and a GPU, you should get a copy of Ollama and test it out running a local copy of Deepseek. That’s going to soon become the best 0 new dollars tool for access to education.
I was going to ask if this means I no longer have to pay back my student loans, but of course I know better than that.
The debt that the government owns would be sold to private lenders and the whole situation will get dramatically worse.
Shit is getting done so scattershot, I think there’s a really, really good chance that a lot of records are going to fall through the cracks or “fall through the cracks” as different databases are deleted, offices closed, code based altered, and agencies demolished.
Would be funny af if some madlad goes maliciouscompliance and deletes all records on student loans or something like that.
Don’t forget those backups need to also be corrupted or otherwise unrecoverable as well

Thats the goal.
Evennif somehow there is another election, everything will be too broken to even begin to repair it.
Yup. And I thought that the U.K. was a shit hole.
why dont to play a Minecraft-like game bloxd to have fun for a while.
Suprise to know their even was one.
This is a good choice as they just sit around and do nothing all day anyway considering who got elected.
