Comment on Trump Calls for Department of Education to Be ‘Closed Immediately’

  Without it, certain states can and will say “well this rural town doesn’t really need kids to go to school, they can become factory workers instead.”

  Any news articles that show that schools are closing because the Department of Education is being DOGE’d?

    Not that I expect someone like you will care about the actual details but he’s only just done it so it’s going to take time for the effects to be felt. This might go over your head but government agencies are huge and complicated entities and when you rip out the heart it takes a while for the limbs to die. The states with robust economies like California, Texas, Illinois, and New York will be fine but poor states like Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi will be seeing school closings before the end of 2025 of this isn’t stopped.

      So you have no proof. Just predictions. This is a news article, not a prophesy piece.

        Removing aid and oversite will have predictable consequences. Conservative motivations align with the predictable consequences, so it’s not a stretch to say that people will suffer because of this. You can’t have proof of something that hasn’t happened yet, but you can definitely predict. I would love to be wrong.

    Why would there be news articles about something that hasn’t happened yet?

      So if it hasn’t happened, what proof do you have that it will? Why bring it up if it hasn’t happened, and there is no proof that it will happen?

        It’s called being able to follow logical consequences.

        Removing rules that the worst run state education departments have already been trying to bypass, won’t make those school less bad.
