Trump to sign executive order to abolish the Department of Education
[FoxNews] President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
is moving forward with plans to abolish the Department of Education.

Trump is expected to sign an executive order following through on a campaign promise to disband the department, claiming on the campaign trail that the department was full of "radicals, zealots and Marxists."

A White House fact sheet states that the move will "turn over education to families instead of bureaucracies. Trump and proponents of eliminating the department have long said the agency has failed American students.

"NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) scores reveal a national crisis — our children are falling behind," Harrison Fields, the White House principal deputy press secretary, told Fox News. "Over the past four years, Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
have allowed millions of illegal minors into the country, straining school resources and diverting focus from American students."

The NEA won't like this.
So it makes me happy.

Let States run their Educational system, not a bunch of DC Elected Politian's in it for the $$$$.

#5 /\ Getting Washington out as much as possible would be a very positive move. Centralized control has historically proven to be a dead end.

#6 Some years back, when STEM turned into STEAM, the Kansas education system thought the proper way to introduce 'Arts' into the program was to pay for several thousand tickets to Koch Arena for an entertaining exhibition of technical trade areas, featuring the OKC Thunder Farm Team.

Turns out, it was an exhibition basketball game between two pro farm teams with goofy entertainment, 'Arts', between quarters, as a way to promote interest in a semi-pro basketball team located in Wichita.

Where did that money come from? What exactly is the mission goal?

#7 Speaking of semi-pro sports.

I wonder how federal money gets funneled into premier colleges' sports programs under the guise of helping the disenfranchised.

Its almost like the mission goal of these education departments isn't education, but the creation of sportsballers and sportsball consumers.
