re: When is DJT going to close the Dept of Ed and sent education back to the states?

Eventually you’ll realize that there is no political party or president that is going to save our country. Might as well let it implode and start over.

I don’t know bro… vote Democrat.

That may be the dumbest thing ever spoken lol sure thing chief I bet the 75 million Chinese who died under Mao thought the same thing or the Germans, Russians, and Cubans. You keep believing it can’t happen here because Trump hurt your feelings

You know the answer to this, but your being an obtuse dbag because you know its not something that the president can do without the help of congress.

But hey continue to make these types of ignorant posts.

News from the NEA. If you support the NEA then this is bad news for you, If you believe the NEA is the enemy this is good news. I beleive this is good news. The NEA is NOT the friend of education. The article is not long and is linked below. Those that are bitching should read it. You may not think the Trump Administration has done anything but the NEA certainly does and so do I (all good).

I included some snippets of the NEA whining about the unfairness of it all.

The Plan to Abolish the Education Department—One Year Later



"On March 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to abolish the U.S. Department of Education (ED)."

"Although the Trump Administration cannot eliminate the department altogether without the support of Congress, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said soon after taking office that shrinking the department as much as possible was in effect its “final mission.” "

"Over the past year, the administration has taken a wrecking ball to public schools, harming the most vulnerable and underserved students. In one year, McMahon fired nearly half the department’s staff, moved the management of major programs to other federal agencies, cut grant programs that serve as the lifeline for minority-serving institutions, shifted funding away from basic needs for students and their schools—afterschool programs, meals, building modernization updates, literacy programs, and more—and made school privatization the administration’s top education priority."

"ED’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR)—which is tasked with ensuring equal access to education and addressing complaints of discrimination—has been a particular focus of McMahon’s destructive agenda. "

"Most of those public servants are no longer at the Department of Education. Over the past year, the ED has fired 90% of OCR’s staff. "

"In addition to gutting OCR, the administration is offloading ED’s programs to other federal agencies, working to dismantle the department piece by piece. As of March, the administration has struck nine interagency agreements, transferring a total of 118 programs out of the department and forcing the responsibility onto other government agencies. "

"It launched an aggressive campaign against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in schools, manufacturing a culture war crisis that limits academic freedom and dictates what educators are allowed to teach in their own classrooms. "

"Additionally, the administration has eviscerated education research grants. By revoking nearly $900 million in research contracts, Trump is eliminating critical data on what schools and families need. This includes information on school crime and safety, early childhood education, trade schools, teaching students with disabilities, and much more. "

"The administration also dismantled higher education student loan forgiveness for certain public servants, including teachers, firefighters, librarians, nurses, and others, and proposed a rule to significantly lower the cap on federal student loans for specific degrees, including education, nursing, and social work."

"The administration withdrew federal protections around immigration enforcement in schools, encouraging ICE agents to terrorize students and educators, disrupting teaching and learning. "

"Trump also created a new federal voucher program. Across the country, vouchers have weakened public schools, blown up state budgets, and fostered discrimination, without any accountability. Included as a provision in the budget reconciliation bill signed into law in July 2025, the federal voucher program could direct up to $30 to $50 billion annually to fund vouchers. "

If we’re waiting for the fed to relinquish power and shrink itself, my answer is you’ll see ice cubes in hell first.

O.k., I will.

I think Trump says stuff that he knows the MAGA base will cheer for.

I think sometimes he has no intention of following through on it, he just says it.

I think sometimes he does, but he often overestimates his ability to actually accomplish what he says he'll do.

So of the list of all the things he said he would do, we have a small percentage of that list that he's actually accomplished or made significant headway on, the largest percentage (by far) are things that he started but has only made token progress on, and then the last bit is stuff that he just said because he knew MAGA would like it, but never intended to actually do, and the stuff that he has actually accomplished to a significant degree.

And what has he used it for? Pretty sure it’s all 80/20 issues removing Marxist influences as much as possible
