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

  I didn’t say schools were being shut down. I said that it will result in children being increasingly ignorant. Why do you think that they are shutting down the agency that regulates schools, to save chump change?

    Meanwhile they’re drafting an almost 5 trillion dollar tax giveaway for the richest people in the country.

    Real money saving group they are.

    I said that it will result in children being increasingly ignorant.

    How so? What are some examples of children becoming increasingly ignorant?

      There would be less funding for schools, especially low income, special education, and rural. Less funding means more uneducated children. That is one example, but the DOE manages grants and loans, oversees civil rights and access, and national education standards and data. These are things that increase education accessibility and quality.

  It’s almost like they were responding to the other bullshit claim you made.

  And your attempt to misdirect is just pathetifc. Do you think people can’t read what you yourself wrote one comment above?
