>”It sounds strange, doesn’t it? Department of Education. We’re going to eliminate it,” Trump said while speaking in the East Room of the White House
I’m just at a loss for words at this point

What does this order even do?
“ White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday morning that the department would not be completely eliminated, saying its “critical functions” would continue, including the enforcement of civil rights laws and oversight of student loans and Pell grants.
“The Department of Education will be much smaller than it is today,” Leavitt said, adding that the executive order directed McMahon “to greatly minimize the agency. So when it comes to student loans and Pell grants, those will still be run out of the Department of Education.”
So it will still handle loans/pell grants, special ed, and “enforcement of civil rights laws” (doubtful). From the article it sounds like they are just going to be gutting its spending and workforce while keeping the department’s duties? If anything that might be worse than parting the department out and sending it to other departments

I’m tired of comprising with these people. If you’re still a Republican by this point, you’re a dumbass, and should be fully blamed for the current dismantling of our democracy. Fuck them.

Best we can do to stop this is pass a CR that gives the GOP everything it wants again
I don’t understand the hatred for the Department of Education. It’s not crazy for a country as advanced and wealthy as the US to have a federal department to coordination education affairs. Education is the basis of future prosperity and well-being. Countries in Asia, especially China, understand this very well and invest greatly.
Americans (both conservatives and left-wing activists) need to understand that you cannot mess with the education system purely for a political agenda. Evidence based approaches are needed, or else you might literally ruin the lives of entire generations.
