An email I received from Seminole County Public Schools (Seminole County, FL).
This administration can't end soon enough. 😠

#DisasterDon is moving forward with his plan to ELIMINATE the #DeptOfEducation (b/c "the poorly educated" vote #Republican.)
Despite what most #Conservatives think, the DoEd DOES NOT set the curriculum of public schools. But misinformed Republicans want to eliminate it b/c they think it does.
Rick "Oops" Perry wanted to eliminate the Dept of Energy b/c he thought all it did was promote Oil sales. 🤦♂️
Eliminate FEMA b/c its Dir didn't know there's a "Hurricane Season". 🙄

Donald Trump's Supreme Court conservatives have given him the green light to destroy the Department of Education while the legality of his doing so continues to be litigated. Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan talks with Jen Psaki about the importance of Education Department funding to the most vulnerable populations in the United States, particularly food-insecure children, as well as the industries that supply the schools.
The future of the Democratic party, or at least my support of them, will ride on their long term response to this decision.
If they take the Cuomo "f public schools" and push charter schools approach, then I'm done.
They can't half-ass rebuilding the Dept either, the Dems need a solid commitment to rebuilding education and keeping the GOP from doing this again

BECAUSE IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT!

Kill off the poor so you don't have to "support" them anymore. #Covid #Measles #BirdFlu #NIH #DeptOfEducation #Welfare #Eugenics
"You could reduce violent crime by aborting every *black* baby in the country. That would be despicable thing to do, but it would work." - Reagan's Education Secretary Bill "Place'yer Bets" Bennett.
It's what they WANT. 🤬

"I love the poorly educated!"
- Donald T**** in 2015 when a poll showed he beat out his #Republican rivals among those with "a High School diploma or less" by 40 points. #DeptOfEducation #IgnoranceEqualsControl
Penny Nance, Wingnut president of "Concerned Women of America" reacts to a #Fox #Poll that says "65% of voters oppose closing the #DeptOfEducation", responding with:
"The Dept of Education was a bad idea created by Jimmy Carter."
...and therefore justifies it being destroyed. 🤬
