Don_DickleELI5 What is the bennefit of the Dept of Education shutting down and the power resting with the states? What is the downside?
The benefit is rich people get richer, and conservatives get more voters down the line
The downside is basically everyone who’s not a conservative piece of shit loses

I’m honestly surprised that isn’t already the case. The first year of college 101 courses in America are often just rehashes of high school. Because the high schools are so inconsistent, that they want all of their incoming students to at least have the same baseline. I went to a decent high school so it was 100% just repeated content for me. But I had a shocking number of classmates who apparently had never seen anything past basic quadratic equations before.
