I think they do something like "soft secession". Instead of breaking the federation apart officially, they're eroding the federation (federal government) to the point where it's no longer relevant. They talk about "state's rights".
They're accelerationists. They're burning the system down so they can build their own in its place.
good, now we can finally indebt 8 year olds too not just college students. they had it too good for too long
--trump, probably
The fun thing is that authority over education is already in the hands of the states. And I bet that ED is already understaffed, so they probably can't ensure the things in the last line if they fire people. All that makes the order effectively already met.
This will be in the courts by the end of next week marking it unconstitutional
Well, if you don't live in a city shit is about to get bad. Public education was basically one key thing keeping the US as a first world nation.
This is fucking horrifying. Americans you need to do something wtf is going on down there
"I love the poorly educated"- Trump, 2016
Just wait til the red states get mad that blue states won't take their spawn in for a college education due to being said far behind what is expected of someone to graduate from a blue stat HS
If the control of education is going to return to the state level, maybe this will be the solution for the mass exodus from blue states. You want an actual good education? Don’t move to Texas.
I voted for the Rapist Convicted Felon because I'm a LAW AND ORDER voter and I SUPPORT this even though it's Illegal!
America is an unserious country.
The conservatives have been objecting to the Dept of Education since its inception just after the Civil War.
Their objectio then is the same now. Alrhough they don't say it out loud anymore.
That it is dangerous, to the wealthy, to educate the lower classes
This entire executive order is about privatizing education and taking control of the loans to give to billionaires. States already fund their own education.
This really doesn’t effect the states education budget too much.
