The Trump administration unveiled a sweeping plan Tuesday to sidestep Congress and outsource large pieces of the U.S. Department of Education, telling lawmakers and staff that it would shift work dedicated to, among other things, elementary and secondary education, postsecondary education and Indian education to other federal agencies.

All three of those offices were originally placed at the department by Congress when it created the agency in 1979, and these moves are being made without Congress' consent.

The GOP wants to fuck our kids' education to keep them stupid, and then follow up behind that to fuck our kids

Democrats need to run better candidates if they want to stop this from happening.

I'm not sure why they keep nominating corporate shills.

That's the thing: They don't care about this. They only care about issues that affect the wealthy. They care more about stopping policies that negatively affect the wealthy than about anything that would help the working class.

Democrats need to do more than "Vote for us because we're not Trump!" because that has only worked once out of the past 2 very costly attempts.

Democrats need to stop toeing the line.

Democrats need to do a lot more than what we've seen them do.

Dumb people are easy to manipulate.

Dumb people are the majority of Trump supporters.

More dumb people = more Trump voters.
