    Fascists: Let’s destroy the part of the government that educates our people.

    Also fascists: We’re just smol bean megacorps that are FORCED to hire people from out of the country to find anyone competent! Why aren’t native born USians educated?!? Must be because we react to sitcoms wrong.

      Fucking Vivek, lol. Another Harvard undergrad, Yale law graduate finance bro complaining about there not being enough engineers in the US.

      He’s right up there with all the other suit wearing, ivy league chuds and podcast bros that have been telling everyone (guys, specifically) that college is a woke DEI scam and to go to trade school instead while they sit in air conditioned offices.

        Kind of funny that the same people who constantly glaze white people want to muscle them out of every single job except back-breaking trades: literally choosing their job for them.

          Maybe I’m naive… I don’t think their ideology is developed enough, but there’s almost a kind of sense to it.

          • Tech oligarchs want cheap, compliant labor.

          • Push the ostensibly-protected native population out of the education pipeline for those jobs and into trades.

          • Complain there aren’t enough graduates to meet that demand in the country.

          • Increase the ability to import workers with tenuous legal status in the country.

          • Also, as a bonus, end birthright citizenship to allow for maximum coercion in the event the imported worker has a child while in the country.

          It all makes sense, kinda. pepe-silvia

    It’s been referred to committee, who knows it if it will make it back out. I’d say that I don’t expect it to come to a vote, but I’m not making any predictions at this point. I mean the Republican party has been trying to get rid of public school for some time.

    Compared to the rest of the government, the DoEd is tiny. They make up a negligible amount of Federal employees (rounds to 0%), and have a relatively small budget (less than 2%).

      Ah but if we got rid of that 2%, we could add that straight into our concentration camp budget!

      DoE is the department of Energy, this is the DoEd. Other than that you’re correct. (post was edited)

      The overwhelming majority of DoEd-associated government employees are associated with student loans or state run programs like Vocational Rehabilitation services.

      2% too many! Besides, anything that supports workers? Removing it is TOP PRIORITY! That 2% means more money to subsidize BUSINESS!

    They have been mad about the department of education ever since they were forced to integrate public schools. Like most things in America, it all goes back to hating black people if you go back far enough.

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
