Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

This!!!! People need to be screaming this!!
Return to serfdom
Exactly
Here's the problem with it they're fancy private schools do not teach proper education and we all know that. Also too they're underestimating the ability of homeschooling which will teach the truth with proper education
The federal DoE primarily funds special ed and programs for students in poverty. It's a direct attack on poor and disabled children. The right fails to realize that public schools also often provide special ed services to private and charter schools. Those kids have disabilities, too.
Trump has bragged about loving the poorly educated.
🎯that part
The "voucher" programs literally take money earmarked for public schools and put that money in the hands of the top 1/3 to pay for their privacy education. In Ohio alone 90% of the voucher money went to the rich. While funding for public schools is being slashed to pay for the vouchers.
I’m so sorry Arizona “pioneered” vouchers with minimal transparency and accountability. At the same time the tax revenues for the general fund have been gutted over the past 30 years and K-12 public education spending in AZ has declined to 49th in the nation. “Meth lab of democracy” indeed.
Vouchers do work - ref Europe - but not if they are strapped to only private schools. Vouchers also need to be viable for public schools. Make the money follow the child. That drives parents to good schools, schools to pay teachers well, and schools to excel.
😩
We must shut down the country on 3/22-23 for 48 hours, and again on 3/25-27 for 72 hours. Stop work as you can, call in sick, take 1/2days off, come in late, take long lunches, leave early. We must work stop our airlines, trucking, transportation and retail and industrial manufacturing.
Christianity Insanity is evil personified in the USA. I try to be nice, but my honesty keeps getting in the way.
The Big Lie White Jesus MAGA Christianity Insanities voted for this Fascist Shitshow...
Because brown and Trans people. 😖
Jess, you are spot on.
Trump has said it before.... he LOVVVVEEEESSSS the uneducated. Of course, that's who he hoodwinked into voting for him.
They are dismantling the DoE because of the MILLIONS of dollars in GRAFT and CORRUPTION that did NOT go to teaching our kids Math, Reading, Writing, ACTUAL Science, Health, etc!
What they are missing: kids may not be educated enough to work for their kids.
That's one way to put the immigrants out of a job.
Yes, exactly
Ok. Put the states in charge. Put the money where your mouth is. So take the dept of education budget. Divide it proportionally by state. And give the states all of the money. Ready . Set. Go
States have always been in charge. The $ is for the poorest, special needs, English language, HeadStart, early childhood special education, free/reduced lunch, mental health services-the DOE only supplies about 15% a district’s budget. They must use it for those things. Thus, this is so senseless.
Agree….
Heck they want our kids working in factories as kids for school!
amymoore50.substack.com/p/history-wa...
That's the plan, less education- better followers. These future uneducated will do exactly what you tell. If you haven't seen IDIOCRACY it's really what's happening now.
Word. I think it leads to illiteracy which keeps us in the dark ages.
Called class warfare.
Yep another class war we’ve been fighting since we were just colonies.
And in case your children don't plan on college. They take the military entrance exam. Tell me again how this means no draft in the future?
Notice it follows on the heels of Republicans trying to lower the working age for minors?
Exactly
So true and this trade school only push along with high college costs will keep any poor kids from getting into politics and positions of power & influence that often need college degrees. Thus creating and maintaining a permeant poor underclass.
💯
They need slave labor to gain more wealth
Trump wants uneducated ppl. He said, He loves the uneducated! Dumbing down of America.
🎯
Believe me, I live in a very conservative area where most of the Christians send their kids to parochial schools. When you talk to them as they become adults, you realize how much they did not learn in school, but boy, they can spew out those Bible verses like nobody's business. Super helpful.
I attended a Catholic grade school and high school. Then I reached The Age of Reason and Height Ashbury and rock and roll. Now I am an atheist, although I do believe that God could be a giant Redwood Tree.
Yep, that is going to help them compete against those brown and black kids from developing countries, getting degrees, and coming here for the jobs no American is educated ebough or qualified to perform.
Funny how when I was growing up, the parochial schools in my area had more pregnant girls than the public schools. So much for religion.
That's one of the subjects those Christian kids didn't learn in school. They did teach, however, that gay people would go to hell. Teach hate instead of love or tolerance.
Isn't that... because not teaching sex ed makes the kids less clued up about ways to avoid that outcome.
Do you honestly think the only place kids hear about sex is at school? They know more about sex, and the ways to avoid pregnancy, than their parents do. If anything, it’s that kids in parochial schools have more to rebel against than their public school counterparts.
There is research on this issue, which I always hear quoted in debates about sex ad. In areas where that's in the school curriculum pregnancy rates go down. I could do an internet search on it, I guess, but your somewhat hostile tone has put me off continuing this.
Sorry, Paul, not trying to be hostile. I agree the more real education kids get on the subject the better. It’s hard to wrap my head around parents who “leave it up to God” to if their daughter gets pregnant or not when they could just teach them the facts that would prevent it in the first place.
Always the case
The people with kids in red states have no idea that we are fighting for *their kids*.
The cult knows only what they are told and believes what they are told to believe.
I always that they hated the idea of public education in general. Their pull yourself up by your bootstraps philosophy hates the public good.
It’s amazing how much their constituents just don’t understand that the republican party/money backers don’t want them to have anything.
Isn't it the Dept. of ED the one & ONLY agency that insures children with disabilities have access to a free education?? This is NOT provided by Individual states> so how many children does Trump's indifference & cruelty hurt this time?? www.ed.gov/laws-and-pol...
REMINDER: US Department of Ed is the SOLE AGENCY enabling children with disabilities (Disabilities Education Act-LAW (IDEA)) to access to a free public education nationwide awa early intervention services for infants-toddlers - their families. PRIVATE schools for children w/disabilities >>>$$$$
😡😡😡
💯
💯🎯. Poor schools and dismantling child labor laws could produce generations of desperate mudsills for the white elites
Before public education, children worked the mines, factories, and fields. It wasn't until child labor laws that people needed a place to warehouse idle children.
💯
Trump & Co want an uneducated, endless supply of cheap labor.. To those people who voted for him because they'd rather have a dictator than Harris as president. Trump despises you. Your ignorance got him everything he wanted and got you NOTHING you needed. He used you to get what he wanted - money
Precisely
That's exactly the point. Modern day slavery. Take all the money so there's 2 groups, rich and poor. Then take education away so they never have money or knowledge to get out.
Red states are a good example of what Republicans want the country look like.
I know people on Medicaid with children with disabilities that voted Republican. Cognitive Dissonance.
💯 this is CLASS WAR. And MAGA is brainwashed to be on the wrong side of it.
100%
Their kids fail upwards while our best and brightest kids get relegated to the sidelines. Bunch of assholes!
They're angling to force us to worship them.
The wealthy always look at the commoner as the impediment to progress, but it's actually their greed that stymies it. Watching them destroy everything we have built makes this obvious.
This is why MAGA has to kill DEI. When given an opportunity, the DEI beneficiaries outperform the lazy, rich kids. Rather than upskilling the lazy, rich kids, they eliminate the DEI competition.
Exactly! The white boys' private schools used to control everything. All you needed was money.
This is absolutely true. It’s a planned repression.
It makes me ill. I grew up with privileged white boys and the current administration reminds me of them and how they acted.
Yep. They’re like the bad guys in a John Hughes Teen romcom. Hopefully, they get there’s like the aholes in those movies do.
Unfortunately Trump’s never got his💥
100%
That's it, in a nutshell.
Special ed kids will just stay home.
Like in Nazi Germany they will wind in some sort of final solution gulag ...
And privatize using tax dollars
Fuck their kids. These traitors should walk in shame for the rest of their lives. May this regime's demise be swift and certain.
That is the plan.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. He seems to just want to find out how far he can go. Next: toilet paper will be phased out.
Time to build homeschool pods? Organize. If you know teachers who really care about the future of your children & nation, hire them. You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. Buckminster Fuller
accurate.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Their kids will have difficulties. Society tends not to function well when large numbers are undereducated.
Exactly this.
We seem to be sleepwalking into tyranny.
Ultra-rich and slaves. The rapethuglikkken ideal.
When they start handing out money for homeschooling, the poor maggats will be so happy to raise even more uneducated mini maggats because "he" is giving them cash. But the uneducated cannot educate.
...and vote Republican
Absolutely! Going back to the feudal system!
Fact
They’ll need citizen drones to replace the immigrants they get rid of.
Correct. They don’t care about you. So why are you letting them molest your privates?
Exactly. Work for their kids and submit to tyranny because they don’t know there’s any other system.
Yep. Absolutely this.
Yup!! 💯 👏
Exactly
Their kids are vaccinated, they go to the best schools, they have tutors and consultants helping them game the system... oh, and so much more...
Exactly.
Many of these parents will be gifted $7K by the states to help pay for private schools they are already paying for.. the rest of the kids don't matter.
SHS started a voucher program and guess who it helps? Not the public schools oh no we're now paying for the rich people to send their kids to private schools that the rich people could pay before.
The rulers know how to enrich themselves. Eat the rich
Yes! They want a voucher system so that our tax dollars pay for their children to go to PRIVATE schools that can screen their applicants. ie: Segregation on the down low.
Yup. Unless you have extraordinary sports skills.
And what shall happen with the children with disabilities.
Excellence in public education is crucial to our fate. Educating our citizenry is how we will compete in the global economy & ought to be a national priority. Choosing not to invest this way makes us more vulnerable to outside forces intent on diminishing our prosperity.
They’ll be passing a federal law allowing adults to marry children. “Nearly 300,000 minors, under age 18, were legally married in U.S. between 2000 and 2018, this study found. A few were as young as 10, though nearly all were age 16 or 17.”
The FACT that he had actual children in the oval room (not an office anymore) sickened me. He was displaying exactly how profoundly evil he will be, even with an unsuspecting audience 🤮
You have nailed it!
Offensive and disgraceful! All kids should be treated equal with same opportunities to be successful and happy.
This also pressures women of young children to be stay at home moms. They want women to be completely dependent on men. Making birth control hard to get, etc.
I saw a dog training video that showed dogs who recognize they have strong alphas start to relax (less barking, pulling, etc) there is a relaxation that occurs when someone you trust takes over. MAGAs want that relaxing feeling.
Was that a new video? The alpha theory in animals (dogs and wolves) was debunked more than a decade ago. Don't trust any trainer that doesn't know that.
No, it was not recent and please enlighten me because I am interested in learning
Alpha theory was put forth by a man studying wolves. He created a huge wolf sanctuary then went out and collected a bunch of wolves from different places and tossed them all together to see what happened. It wasn't a family (pack)it was a bunch of strangers who suddenly had to learn to live tgthr.
He apologized and tried to correct it after he studied a healthy pack but people had romanticized his original conclusion to the point it still gets taught long after being debunked. In a healthy pack the leaders are caretakers.
No one learns better with pain. Current training theory is R+
Awesome! I will look it up! We need a strategy to combat the efficacy of MAGA propaganda and it will require a deep understanding of psychology in addition to understanding technology/economic forces. The MAGA take advantage of people’s fear and create scapegoats. How can we combat this?
There are very few success stories for cult deprogramming but theoretically making it more pleasant to be not part of the cult should work but that's made more difficult in that the emotion they seek isn't always joy. Like people going to horror movies, sometimes the rush comes from fear or anger
Also I think it’s not just seeking a certain emotion, sometimes I think it’s avoiding emotions like vulnerability. Their fight/flight systems are over activated, like they all have CPTSD
We need a common enemy, maybe we could pretend we’re being invaded by aliens
Many people would rather be led than be leaders. Its easier
Their long-term plan is actually to eliminate all women, except select ones for breeding. Also, once no longer productive (i.e. working) older and disabled people are summarily disposed of.
The “pro-life” party
My teenager told me it’s called being a “trad wife”.
Well said.
Stupid people are easily manipulated and exploited.
So make sure your kids are taught proper gun safety.
And vote for them.
This exactly!!!
This right here...🎯
youtu.be/EKnoUbDIpjo?...
They want to eliminate education for special needs kids and reopen for-profit asylums.
If you polled congress over 70 % of their kids either went or going to private schools. And that's on both sides of the aisle
Hell most have graduated have their own lives
I won't agree with the second statement (there were public schools before the Dept of Ed was created during Carter admin) but I do with the first. All of these people see no need for public schools as they probably never even went near one. Or perhaps even had a friend that went to one.
This isn’t just a fight for democracy but it’s a class fight.
Let's not forget the fact that you have to be dumb as fuck to vote for a felon as president. Their goal is to keep the population just that...dumb AF!
It’s very important that the stupid children of the rich never have to compete against the smart children of the poor.
Louder please 🙏🏼
I think there's another motive for religious conservatives like Heritage & Project2025): state funding for religious "academies" + no oversight for homeschool. Secular schools teach rational stuff like science & math & how to think, like understanding that earth is > 6000 yrs old. Can't have that.
Because the ignorant are easier to control than the educated.
that's about the extent of it
many children will be hungry no free lunch and no after school programs where they are safe and parents can pick them up after work evil people is what the Trump administration is filled with hurting children
My God. You’re right.
But so many of the people cheering this don’t have the money for fancy private schools. They are willing to pass on their ignorance to their children. And that is the tragedy.
Yes build the peasant class that is forced to accept whatever scraps thrown their way
Vouchers actually funnel tax dollars to those private schools.
Yep. That’s how it works. Keep the herds that work for you uneducated and don’t let them unite like with unions
They are ILLEGALLY trying to dismantle the Ed Debt. 85% of what the Ed Debt does is set by law. Donnie & Ms MMA are going to lose lots of law suits.
Trump asked Congress to make it happen. And Speaker Mike Johnson. On his FB page he says “… Education is best administered by parents and teachers and those closest to students, not bureaucrats in Washington, DC. “President Trump is keeping his promise and returning education to the states.
90% of ppl don’t know the laws passed by congress force states to provide education to kids who need special education and with disabilities. Many states were not doing that before these laws passed
Those words are a long way from changing laws that affect Republican parents too. If there are going to be elections in 2 years the Republicans are playing suicide game supporting Elon & Donnie
It’s certainly not best administered by today’s parents. Today’s parents could clearly benefit from a healthy dose of education themselves.
That motherfucker’s kid is at one of the military academies.
He has seriously drank the koolaid. In one of his posts he talks like Trump. He called the budget bill “a beautiful bill.”
Under rated
And undereducated adults tend to vote their way.
They've never accepted that they can't have slaves
Don't Try To Tell Me State Demographics Won't Change-In An Instant-If Federal Support For Education (Especially K-12) Goes Away! #America WILL Return To Having, "Poor Dumb States".
And blame immigrants why the jobs suck.
Also, they do not fear a depression or recession. They have all the money. The price of eggs means nothing to them. They will do fine, even make MORE money. Keep voting Republican They for the little people. Ha ha ha ha.
Why don’t you run education through states? Canada doesn’t have a federal education department. Just provincial. We pay school taxes only at a provincial level.
Before this, too, disappears as has the DoE (temporarily), states do ensure the lion's share of ensuring children's education. The real problem is that regional, even local, politics has so much sway over educating the future & leads to major disparities. www.ecs.org/50-state-com...
Because you won't segregate your schools or teach Jesus rode dinosaurs.
I think I also asked because if you were funding the federal education department with your taxes and they downloading the service to a state level those taxes belong to the state now.
In Ontario we fund Catholic schools. But we get to choose where to send our taxes public or Catholic. Lots of religious private schools here. Those are a bigger concern.
Yes, but keep in mind that Fancy private schools are not better they are whiter. Republicans learn their biases and elitistist views from said schools.
Exactly
Exactly!
They are the same people that try to convince us any help on student debt would only help the rich... because the rich take out school loans?
They can’t implant intelligence into their kids brains. We give those genes to ours. 🔥💙
Exactly!
The Dinosaurs had all kinds of things they were able to do in the environment they had. Then everything changed and they all died out. This is what’s happening to the Capitalists. We might be on our own for a bit, but we have each other, and we shall prevail.
Honest question. Is there a need for a national dept of education on top of a demo of education at the state level? In Canada we have a ministry of education at the provincial (state) level only. Not national agency to over see it. Each province does its own thing.
The department of education isn’t involved with curriculum, their purpose is to make sure all American children have the opportunity for a free, basic education, regardless of race, religion or ability. They also help college students get grants and loans to help pay for their higher education.
And they know that MAGAts hate Black people more than they love their own children, so they will suffer zero repercussions.
In other words, the rich wanna make you their b*tch. Since most of us aren’t rich, especially rich, rich, I think it’s time we come together to fight for the shared cause of freedom, respect, and giving the middle finger to those who want to make us their servants🖕 Push back. It all adds up.
That is exactly the Riches Plan.
Beastly DeVos is Eric Prince's sister. He owns, among other things, a private army. He offered to get rid of all unwanted immigrants, for a price, of course. A price our taxes would pay. They want to get blood out of a turnip they will squeeze like Kings & lords of old. They want us all to be serfs.
EXACTLY Betsy DeVos is a billionaire. What did she care about public ed. And this wrestling woman cares even less. He didn't even pretend. He said, "Work yourself out of a job." Damn them all. Kids who have special needs can't get help they need. Hungry kids go hungry. Trump loves poorly educated.
Remember! Manipulation of the young works much better with them not being educated! See AMINAL FARM where indoctrination replaces a proper education!
💯
Exactly. That’s what this is all about, they want to get rid of public education. They don’t want anything resembling a level playing field
Then there is no opportunity for upward mobility. The class you are born in is a permanent position, insuring a perpetual slave class. Once birth control is outlawed, it's guaranteed, and the men closest to women won't care, just as it was before.
All while appearing to save money so they can call it a tax cut. And the sadly, MAGA will vote again for these people. So they have no concerns. We know this, because…look at MO. It’s been like this for decades
"They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids." This has been the goal all along. None of that crazy talk about all are created equal.
The less educated you are, the more apt you are to believe their lies. They want education to be something only rich kids receive. F*ck kids who have no money, need extra help, have a disability, or speak another language at home. There is a special place in hell for Trump.
They're going to need people to fight ww3 for them. You don't think THEIR kids are going to do it, do you?
To be fair it might be mainly robots and unmanned drones by then. But yeah, someone’s kids will need to play warfare games
It's all about class warfare, with a side of bigotry and racism, which fuels the class warfare.
They need to replace the foreign workers who split.
🎯 Exactly that. Welcome to Feudalism 2.0 But hey, At least we have i-phones and Instagram 🥴
Thinking of Mike Rowe and how he pushed trade jobs. Big Trump supporter. He got paid big bucks for his Dirty Jobs show but sits pretty in his reality TV office.
I wonder how states like Arkansas and LA will pay for education? Especially in rural areas. There are no charter schools near any farms. Not enuff folks to turn a profit:
Yup and dumb enough to get out smarted by Trump
Exactly. They keep asking working people to learn to live with less, but THEY are never forced to do the same. It's time we force the issue.
Everyone making less than 300k after taxes should be screaming this at the top of their lungs. Everyone should be over neoliberal policies where Republicans and Democrats benefitted from. We need a true democracy now where everyone feels their vote matters, where everyone values public education
Agreed. We've let the people who already have everything control the narrative. We shouldn't continually allow them to tell us that we should learn to live with less. The person who already has everything should be the one learning to live with less. Their greed is obscene.
We need to start by boycotting all of their products (i.e. Kardashian), stop watching their "reality" TV shows (unreal). Don't give them energy.
I have NEVER watched reality TV shows, they irritate me. I wish I could block them.
FIGHT like our lives depend on it! Because they DO!
“I love the uneducated!” says nobody else but the orange nazi-loving chump.
Right. Because the really hard and unpleasant tasks will no longer be done by immigrants. No work is shameful, but not being able to choose *is* shameful.
Every company out there must start to support Public schools directly if necessary. Even in rural areas the companies that provide equipment and supplies for growers need to step up. People over inflated profits needs to be todays mantra.
Or become cannon fodder in Trumps military.
Hit the nail on the head.
Yes, that is what they want. But they won’t get it in the end if ever-growing numbers of Americans continue to stand up. Impt to remember this- bsky.app/profile/matt...
So what would Mrs Wrestling McMa’am’s overpaid job be once it’s been destroyed?
actually not supposed to be able to do it without congress .. but will see how that goes .
Precisely!
@clnsl8.bsky.social read this
very well said
the GOP is finally being forced to be honest, more or less. 🤠
That's not a small part of it, but I think the real reason lies in their plan to replace it. They want to have State Run Boards of Education, why? They don't want to be told to teach DEI principles, and they want to teach "traditional" values, suppressing science, art or history that contradicts it.
The State Board of Ed already sets curriculum. The DOE has no curriculum. They provide resources & enforce the laws that ensure students w/disabilities or low income get an equitable education. Before the DOE, families payed for special education. Only the wealthy can afford that.
Sounds like slavery being reinstituted to me.
Yall didn’t care about slavery the first time, so why would you care now?
Hah, rich kids mighty tender and tasty. No muscle or gristle. Mom and pop fit for canine chow.🤔
"But the fetus" this case would be a win if anything in the constitution still mean something.
Fuck them and their kids
Education through life should be free for all. Trade schools should be free. Nursery school should be free. America boomed when a whole generation after WW2 came back and the GI Bill gave the "Greatest Generation" free education, affordable housing, and VA medical care for life.
indentured servant’s for the wealthy technocrats.
George Carlin was a brilliant comedian and I miss him. He had heart and spoke the truth no matter what and it's relevant then & now.... That's his legacy he'll always be Comedically Relevant.
George was good. Very perceptive of how the world works.
From another Grandma: I miss him too. He was way ahead of his time on many issues. George Carlin’s insight and relevancy continues.
It's also the first step in providing vouchers for #ChristianTaliban schools.
This goes back to at least Raygun in my memory, but I think a long-game rightwing/dark money goal since the 50s or so
I am a former Literacy Aide, Para educator, and Teacher Aide, in MO!!! I am almost 73, and I will volunteer my time to help our kids! I may have to work because SS is gone, but will help evenings and weekends! What say you all?!
It's definitely going to be up to us to educate our kids of this continues. I will be educating mine and helping who i can.
They are dismantling education so that public education fails and it can be privatized for them to profit from
Bingo
For those that can afford it.
Nope, that’s the point-our Taxes will still fund schools, but they will be for profit, and corporations/ conglomerate oligarchs will own them. We’ll still have shitty schools for the poor with less funding and spectacular schools for the rich just subsidized by us.
The plan is to replace teachers with babysitters/security guards, and have the students on laptops “learning” from AI teachers.
Trying to do this in Texas right now
1 /2 Absolutely. Private schools aren’t held to the same standards that public schools are. Leaves kids open to discrimination and the push of ideology’s because as a private entity they can choose who to accept and what to teach.
2/2 Best part is that vouchers are by and large paid for with tax dollars. 🤦🏻♀️ What are doing, America?!
Seems like abolishing vouchers could save a lot of dough 🤔
I believe that’s their goal for all of the agencies they are destroying
Can't decide which is scarier... The techno-fascist strain believes in seizing control, depopulating, and "purifying" a corrupt world—or hoarding resources to escape it. The religious-fascist strain actively prays for apocalypse, desperate for validation that they were the chosen ones all along.
And....an uneducated population is MUCH easier to control....
🎯
theplotagainstamerica.com
Been saying this for 39 years.
absolutely. The wealthy will make sure their kids have all the educational resources they need.
We’ll have to organize our kids to never have to make that decision. This is a class war, with their intention of creating a dystopian existence with white wealthy men in charge, young fertile…
…women (prime for raping), no justice system for anyone but the chosen men. Would anyone like to wager that maybe Elmo spent time before his “self appointment” watching “The Handmaid’s Tale”? These men cannot get sex without paying for it, but in a “THT” society, they could dictate women obey.
And they wonder why couples are choosing not to have families. “We need lots and lots of babies!” For what? Dinner? He sure as hell doesn’t give one shit about kids…only future slave labor, and numbers. Ratings and numbers..all they care about. The deaths it will cause is of no concern to them
Privatization to enrich the rich.
Ding, ding,ding!!!
We know Treasonous Traitor Trump is lying here, but its a serious problem when he is lying about it rather than ignoring it. (Idk about project 2025 <
