Former President Donald Trump is actively promoting his agenda in anticipation of a potential second term, causing ripples in the political landscape.
In a recent address in Nashville, Tennessee, Trump announced his intention to dismantle the Department of Education, garnering significant support and applause from the crowd.
This declaration was made during his keynote speech at the 2024 National Religious Broadcasters’ International Christian Media Convention.
Trump has reiterated his plan to effectively eliminate the agency established by President Jimmy Carter in 1979 on previous occasions.
Trump openly expressed his strong desire to eliminate the DOE, a move supported by many conservatives who view it as a misuse of taxpayer money that fails to benefit students and is often overly politicized.
“We’re going to end the so-called Department of Education. We might have one desk, one person, just to make sure everyone is speaking English,” Trump said during his keynote speech.

Nashville Scene noted:
He pledged to “support a policy of universal school choice” and promised to grant “529 education savings accounts to be used for homeschooling expenses up to $10,000 a year, per child, completely tax-free,” as well as reiterating conservative calls to shut down the U.S. Department of Education.
“With your prayers, your voice and your v**e, we will reclaim our government from these horrible tyrants,” Trump told the audience, adding that he will “restore faith and family to the center of American life” and saying that “the great revival of America begins on Nov. 5, 2024.”
The former Secretary of Education under Trump has openly stated that she believes the Department of Education should not exist. This view garnered widespread support on social media when Trump announced his plans to abolish the agency.
“Education should be controlled by the states,” one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, “We have the second worst president (I’ll never lie to ya) the peanut farmer from Georgia to thank for the Dept of Education, the EPA and a couple more.”
“Finally! Also get rid of Agriculture, Energy, HUD, EPA, HHS, and Labor. Anything useful they do would be better done by states or private organizations,” another social media user wrote.

Can anyone think of any good the Dept. of Education has ever done?

The greatest country in the world should have the greatest education system in the world.

Liberals are destroying the education system in the USA. Children are falling farther behind and standards are being lowered just to help them pass. A great change is needed.

The change will have to come from leaders changing what is taught.

I was not a fan of home schooling but this guy is creating curriculums I like.

He has a lot of good post.

In spite of spending WAY more per pupil. we are WAY behind many other nations.

RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

Is your spending per pupil figure for all education or K-12.

Lily

Zip and zero.

Education is overrated. Like, who need it?

Lily

You are an i***t. My answer is the Department of Uneducation has zip and zero value. Fact is since it started we have dropped in world standing. There’s 3rd world countries in front of us. Shut it down!

RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

You are right. But will public schools be sufficiently funded red states?

Lily

AHA, another progressive cult member. Only blue states doing things right. So try this dolt, Baltimore, MD, true blue city in a true blue state, has two high schools that 91% of their graduates can’t read or do math above elementary school level yet graduated them anyway. It’s not the amount of money. It’s the quality of the teachers.

Good parents will/should keep their kids out of the public uneducation system!

My salute to red states being the underfunded falls shot.
It is prevalent cross party.

Lily

So let me see. I give you an example of a blue state/city andyiu flip it to a red state. You really are stupid.



The difference is blue wants to teach crap that has zero value. Let’s stick with basics, reading, writing, basic math, basic science, basic biology, history, government. Advanced classes in high school.


Ps: you best hope AuntiE skips this thread. She’s forgotten more about public education that anyone at Department of Uneducated. By the time she finishes ripping you a couple of new butts, you’ll need a pillow to set down.
