As part of a $600 million slash to teacher-training grants, the Education Department took a $21 million award North Carolina had planned to use to provide bonuses and training officials hoped would lure and retain teachers.

This Trump Administration is openly destroying Public Education and its Teaching core. Kids will suffer and scores for standardized testing will be moving down as a result.

But that's the GOP goal - shut down schools throughout the country, insist that students go to 'bible school' for their education and restrict non-religious teaching to the children of the wealthy, in order to maintain a 'serf/slave' class.

In their rush to control the lives of all Americans, the GOP is purposely destroying another important resource: public Ed. Schools will be gutted & backfilled with right-wing agendas, Moms For Liberty teachers, PragerU lesson packs & discriminatory policies. The death of truth & critical thinking.

I’m of the opinion that poor school outcomes are often the direct result of class size. This district is starting the school year with 10 fewer teachers. But we can afford signing bonuses for ICE? 😔

Sad, but at least they are out from being under the immense strain of being decent human beings and adhering to such terrible things as diversity, equality and inclusion! Thoughts and prayers!

More contribution to dumbing of America. Money going to Prager U so they can teach your children slavery was good for African Americans.

Biden and Democrats set up this grant to fill a serious need in a rural NC. Trump and Republicans killed it. Does your article point this out? If not, you aren't reporting the truth.

Well trump did say that he ā€œ loves the poorly educated.ā€ so of course he's defunding the department of education.
