The Education Department plans to announce Tuesday that it will move multiple parts of the agency to other federal departments, an unprecedented and unilateral effort to dismantle an agency created by Congress to ensure all Americans have equal access to educational opportunity and better coordinate federal programs.
The move was described by three people informed of the plan ahead of the announcement. Two of these people said six offices within the department would be shifted elsewhere; the third person said it was at least two.

A healthy, broadly educated population which feels safe and secure is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
So are they gonna be replacing those “You don’t need college” commercials with “You don’t need high school” commercials?
A number of red states have also eased restrictions on child labor, so yeah, probably. They want to bolster their workforce with uneducated kids.
“I love the uneducated.”
'Smart people don’t like me."
Cheers to my prof who told me last semester I was being an irate lib when I said this would be happening
A magat professor? Wild how someone in charge of teaching people could also be functionally retarded.
I had a few of those. I was the reason one of them banned laptops in her class after my semester because I fact checked her so much. She would say shit like, “the CDC says that condoms are 100% ineffective.”
Luckily she couldn’t ban my laptop because it was a reasonable accommodation for my disability.
I think a lot of people still have difficulties understanding that the US will be dismantled down to the dirt. I understand. It sounds unreal to think that every single piece of this country will be eliminated and rebuilt into a country that is totally unrecognizable. People are fighting it mentally… They are denying it. Even when it happens, they make an excuse for it not being the end of the country… but if you look back in history, every civilization eventually ended.
Dismantled, yes. Rebuilt?
If you smash a vase, someone will eventually pick those pieces up. They might reassemble it into a bowl.
Red states are excelling in this regard. Vaulting unqualified and downright damaged/damaging right-wingers into teaching positions so they can further pollute our young. There was even a recent scandal (Texas) about having other people take their yearly assessment/qualification exams for them. And even now Texas is wholly de-funding public education in favor of private indoctrination schools. Yay. :-|
Lack of education will make America great again.

Lack of education made Amerika what it is right now
It’s how you compete with China. While they waste money and effort on education, science, engineering, infrastructure and so on, you sit back with Jesus, a sense of white supremacy, a cool beer, and a truck in the front yard you’ll put wheels on next month.
Median pay in the U.S. for no high school degree is 37,492. Median 1 bedroom apartment- 1,500. At $18,000 a year before utilities they can’t get approved for a lease. So unless they are crashing at someone else’s place the beer isn’t cold, and the truck is their house and depending on what state they live in they are considered to be illegal to live in it…
So much for having a trad-wife or whatever, they’ll need a sugar mama
Smart people don’t vote right
McMahon has argued that the recently ended government shutdown showed how unnecessary her agency is. “Students kept going to class. Teachers continued to get paid. There were no disruptions in sports seasons or bus routes,” she wrote. “The shutdown proved an argument that conservatives have been making for 45 years: The U.S. Department of Education is mostly a pass-through for funds that are best managed by the states.”
As always, the question is “States rights to do what?”. And when it comes to education, we all know the answer is abstinence, creationism and the benefits of slavery.
Federal law directs that these programs be housed in the Education Department. The Trump administration is employing a work-around, the people briefed on the matter said, whereby other government agencies would run the Education programs under a contract with the Education Department.
I’m not sure if I am relieved that they aren’t even doing the state control BS.
I fucking knew they would use the length of the shutdown for something like this.
I’m not sure if I am relieved that they aren’t even doing the state control BS.
While I’m not trying to underestimate anything, this come off more as virtue signaling than actually fulfilling said promises?
So that means I don’t need to pay back my student loans, right?
Not exactly. They are selling student loans on the market the way mortgages used to be traded in the good old 2000’s.
No part of the contract I signed allows them to do that. It will be in the courts for years. Just like the public service loan forgiveness program suit that still has my loans in forbearance 3 years later.
Who needs edumacation anyways, Brawndo has what plants crave!
Sure this will improve the performance divide between red and blue states.
Smart people dont like Trump … by his own words.
School of hard knocks is about to have a lot more graduates.
Most uneducated world power speedrun!
Bold of you to assume America is still going to be a world power by the end of this…
I mean, the US is already world champion on this, no other country is even close.
