    >Harrison Fields, White House principal deputy press secretary, said in a statement to USA TODAY the order “will empower parents, states, and communities to take control and improve outcomes for all students.” He said recent test scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress exam “reveal a national crisis ‒ our children are falling behind.”

    So let’s try to see the thought process here. Guy thinks thing doesn’t work. Instead of fixing thing, he decides to break the thing and eliminate all chances of thing ever working.

    This is such lazy politics. If the thought of eliminating the Education Department alone doesn’t upset you, surely it being *the laziest fucking solution* should.

    Citing standardized exam scores as failures of the Dept of Education more so speaks to the failures of state-level education systems, lol.

    The Dept of Ed being toothless on pedagogy is what led us here.

  4. Unfortunately the children that will suffer the most is ones that require special education.

    Special education especially in smaller districts is only possible due to funding from the Department of Education. These kids will get swept under the rug and forgot about.

    Crime has risen in Chicago in recent years. To solve this, I’m eliminating the Chicago Police Department

    I’m dependent on federal student loans for two more semesters to finish my graduate degree

    This is devastating. How am I going to be able to afford to finish my education?
