Trump to pull feds out of K-12 education
« on: May 03, 2018, 05:10:14 pm »
President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to start pulling the federal government out of K-12 education, following through on a campaign promise to return school control to state and local officials.

The order, dubbed the “Education Federalism Executive Order,” will launch a 300-day review of Obama-era regulations and guidance for school districts and directs Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal measures she deems an overreach by the federal government.

“For too long the government has imposed its will on state and local governments. The result has been education that spends more and achieves far, far, far less,” Mr. Trump said. “My administration has been working to reverse this federal power grab and give power back to families, cities [and] states — give power back to localities.”

This is a story from over a YEAR ago:

Quote
The Washington Times - Wednesday, April 26, 2017

All it was (and we discussed it at length here) was window dressing that asked Devos to REVIEW Obama-era federal regs. and modify them if she saw fit.

We have heard nothing concrete as to any modifications or changes or abolishments being PROPOSED.

The headline was and is BULLSHIT.  Trump never pulled the feds out of K-12 education and has not instigated any concrete efforts to do so out of an authorization to REVIEW Obama's EOs and regs . concerning K-12 federal programs and oversight.

Yes, @INVAR, the posting of this by @Millee is a nice reminder of how much smoke-and-mirrors are used by this administration.

Care to discuss the topic of the OP or are you only capable to spewing talking-point bullshit to massage your prince?

The headline is bullshit - like so much of your leader's administration: all smoke and mirrors to deceive you easily gullible and deceived minions into believing lies and efforts that are just for show.

You are changing the subject.

(1) This was already in place when Trump asked DeVos to review it, one year ago.
(2) This article is making a big deal about Trump telling DeVos to do something she already had the authority to do.
(3)Conquering ISIS, and pacifying North Korea, are not part of this topic or discussion.

Focus......

You are correct. It was a discussion for headlines with no substance.

Can we dissolve the Dept. of Education and end the government monopoly on student loans?

That is like asking if we can end the IRS, the ATF and the FBI.

Never gonna happen.

Government is an insatiable beast - and this people demand their pet is fed greater and greater portions of our wealth and liberty.

Yes, but how?

All the pictures of former Dept. of Education employees standing in line at soup kitchens will break the country's heart!
 :silly:
I'd like to, if America can find the will to demand it from the Government.
Even then, it would be difficult, but it would be worthwhile.
