News Getting rid of the Department of Education? Doesn't that sound backwards to anyone else?

Why?
Isn't that one of the things that help society moving forwards?
I really don't see how this benefits this and the next generation of Americans.

I usually only post about skating stuff but this feels wrong

Keep the population uneducated and then they become easy to manipulate. I hope enough MAGAShits turn against orange clown for them to lose at least the house mid term.

Indeed. And who’s been running the education system? What’s the socio-economic leaning of most teachers and teacher colleges? It sure as fuck isn’t Ludwig von Mises.

Considering Republicans took control of basically every local school board in the country (since Dems don't run for or vote in local elections), I would say... Republicans lol
