Trump administration to announce dismantling of much of Education Dept.
(www.washingtonpost.com)
Lack of education will make America great again.
It's how you compete with China. While they waste money and effort on education, science, engineering, infrastructure and so on, you sit back with Jesus, a sense of white supremacy, a cool beer, and a truck in the front yard you'll put wheels on next month.
Median pay in the U.S. for no high school degree is 37,492. Median 1 bedroom apartment- 1,500. At $18,000 a year before utilities they can't get approved for a lease. So unless they are crashing at someone else's place the beer isn't cold, and the truck is their house and depending on what state they live in they are considered to be illegal to live in it..
So much for having a trad-wife or whatever, they'll need a sugar mama

Lack of education made Amerika what it is right now
McMahon has argued that the recently ended government shutdown showed how unnecessary her agency is. “Students kept going to class. Teachers continued to get paid. There were no disruptions in sports seasons or bus routes,” she wrote. “The shutdown proved an argument that conservatives have been making for 45 years: The U.S. Department of Education is mostly a pass-through for funds that are best managed by the states.”
As always, the question is "States rights to do what?". And when it comes to education, we all know the answer is abstinence, creationism and the benefits of slavery.
Federal law directs that these programs be housed in the Education Department. The Trump administration is employing a work-around, the people briefed on the matter said, whereby other government agencies would run the Education programs under a contract with the Education Department.
I'm not sure if I am relieved that they aren't even doing the state control BS.
I’m not sure if I am relieved that they aren’t even doing the state control BS.
While I'm not trying to underestimate anything, this come off more as virtue signaling than actually fulfilling said promises?
You're not wrong. State rights is bit of a right wing soundbite.
Time well tell.
I fucking knew they would use the length of the shutdown for something like this.
A healthy, broadly educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
A healthy, broadly educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
I mean, we've got the entire 1960s/70s turn towards Reaganism suggesting the opposite. A broadly educate population secure in its ethnic majoritarian control of private property is ripe for conservative ideological poisoning. The landlord class loves the Republicans. The high income working class loves Republicans. The Professional Managerial Class loves Republicans.
So long as Republicans are willing to operate as gatekeepers - guaranteeing White Christian Men dominate the private sector - they will continue to be a magnet for corrupt and ambitious American social climbers.
I’m genuinely curious how any of this reply negates my original post.
Educated. People. Vote. Republican. All. The. Time.
Educated Replublicans != broadly educated.
Seppo culture is fascinating.
Educated Replublicans != broadly educated.
That's simply not true
"I love the uneducated."
'Smart people don't like me."
So are they gonna be replacing those "You don't need college" commercials with "You don't need high school" commercials?
A number of red states have also eased restrictions on child labor, so yeah, probably. They want to bolster their workforce with uneducated kids.
So that means I don't need to pay back my student loans, right?
Not exactly. They are selling student loans on the market the way mortgages used to be traded in the good old 2000's.
No part of the contract I signed allows them to do that. It will be in the courts for years. Just like the public service loan forgiveness program suit that still has my loans in forbearance 3 years later.
Ok but, education is a subsidy for corporations. It makes sure we're educated enough to be worth hiring. Among other things, education is important in making us competitive.
Nobody should want this except for traitorous elites ready to leave the country the instant the tap runs dry. Even the most soulless neolib/conservative ought to realize education is necessary.
education is a subsidy for corporations
It's a perquisite for domestic development of professional labor. But where those laborers work is dictated by their access to capital. Corporate monopolization of real estate and advanced machinery forces professional workers into their employment. The act of publicly provisioning education isn't what yields subsidy. Its the caging of graduates into privately owned industries through control of physical and intellectual properties.

I think you're getting out ahead of your skis.
Trump defends U-turn on Chinese student visas after Maga backlash
The White House has said that those 600,000 student visas will be issued over the next two years, in line with numbers issued in previous years.
The plan isn't for American plutocrats to pick up and leave. It is to swing open the doors of the Guest Worker program and import millions of professionally skilled indentured servants.
Sure this will improve the performance divide between red and blue states.
A more stupid populace means a more destitute and desperate populace.
This country is about to be a much more dangerous place to be.
Most uneducated world power speedrun!
I mean, the US is already world champion on this, no other country is even close.
Bold of you to assume America is still going to be a world power by the end of this...
Smart people dont like Trump ... by his own words.
School of hard knocks is about to have a lot more graduates.
Smart people don't vote right
They need them pregnant and stupid. It’s the only way they can get votes.
Déjà vu! I thought they already did that?
