Yeah, right. Ole Jimmy Carter says thanks for stabbing him in the back. Since Trump has your green light I see no reason to not do away with the department.

quote:

WASHINGTON (CITC) — American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said Sunday her union members "don't really care" if President-elect Trump decides to abolish the U.S. Department of Education.

Trump has vowed to eliminate the department, suggesting it has devolved into a needless bureaucracy while depleting crucial government resources. His proposal would hand the department’s role to states.

Weingarten, who supported Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, said such a change would not have a significant impact on teachers across the country. She described herself as taking a “wait-and-see” approach to Trummp's proposal.

“I mean, my members don't really care about whether they have a bureaucracy of the Department of Education or not,” Weingarten said during an appearance on MSNBC. “In fact, Al Shanker and the [American Federation of Teachers] in the 1970s were opposed to its creation!"

“We thought it should stay within [the Department of Health, Education and Welfare], because of the whole child," Weingarten added.

It is absolutely unreal that she is the union boss. She is a sick, mentally ill, individual.

Well that's kind of a running theme with union members. You have to be mentally ill to think you can dictate how a company you don't own is operated. Then there's the extortion of wages.

No… completely abolish it, don’t just move the programs around to another bureaucracy.

IMO the biggest win that would come from this would be getting government out of the student loan business.
