Comment on Trump Calls for Department of Education to Be ‘Closed Immediately’
barrygoldwater@lemmy.wtf 1 week agoI think he’s doing awesome. Closing down the dept of education isn’t going to magically and suddenly make kids ignorant. You realize that he’s not closing schools, right?
The department of education is what distributes funding to schools and sets standards for educational guidelines. Without it, certain states can and will say “well this rural town doesn’t really need kids to go to school, they can become factory workers instead.”
Want proof? Arkansas just recently signed a law that helps increase child labor.

Any news articles that show that schools are closing because the Department of Education is being DOGE’d?
Not that I expect someone like you will care about the actual details but he’s only just done it so it’s going to take time for the effects to be felt. This might go over your head but government agencies are huge and complicated entities and when you rip out the heart it takes a while for the limbs to die. The states with robust economies like California, Texas, Illinois, and New York will be fine but poor states like Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi will be seeing school closings before the end of 2025 of this isn’t stopped.

So you have no proof. Just predictions. This is a news article, not a prophesy piece.
Why would there be news articles about something that hasn’t happened yet?
So if it hasn’t happened, what proof do you have that it will? Why bring it up if it hasn’t happened, and there is no proof that it will happen?

Not magically or suddenly, but deliberately and surely. Do you really think this is about saving money? Wtf do musk and trump care about government efficiency?

Where? Do you have a list of schools that are being shut down as a result of this?
LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 1 week ago
I didn’t say schools were being shut down. I said that it will result in children being increasingly ignorant. Why do you think that they are shutting down the agency that regulates schools, to save chump change?

Meanwhile they’re drafting an almost 5 trillion dollar tax giveaway for the richest people in the country.
Real money saving group they are.

It’s almost like they were responding to the other bullshit claim you made.
And your attempt to misdirect is just pathetifc. Do you think people can’t read what you yourself wrote one comment above?

^ This is the level of reading comprehension we can expect even more students to have after finishing school after this
