ABC’s Hostin: Trump Attacking Department of Education to Create ‘Permanent Underclass’ Workforce

Pam Key 13 Feb 2025

ABC News legal analyst Sunny Hostin claimed Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are attempting to create a “permanent underclass” for cheaper labor.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “So, the White House is going full steam ahead with their purge of federal agencies, and they announced the next department on the chopping block. Take a look.

At a press conference, a reporter asked, “How soon do you want the Department of Education to be closed?”

Trump said, “Oh, I’d like it to be closed immediately. Look, the Department of Education is a big con job.”

Goldberg asked, “Is completely deleting these agencies and kicking education back to the states, because that’s what this means, that’s what it means, is this going to make things run more smoothly?”

Hostin said, “It’s not really about saving money.”

Co-host Joy Behar said, “No.”

Hostin said, “I think there’s a much more nefarious reason.”

Behar said, “Which is?”

Hostin said, “Without education you get cheaper labor. I think what they want to do is create in the United States a permanent underclass, a permanent cheap workforce, because educated workers cost more. That is the bottom line, and that’s what they’re doing.”

Actually, having Americans education be controlled by the DoE's enthusiasms is far more likely to produce a permanent underclass.

Do these idiots think at all about what they say at all???

What the hell was bringing in millions of poorly educated illegal aliens that will "pick their fruit"???

Stupid should hurt.

Biden's Open Border as about  creating a “permanent underclass” for cheaper labor.

Since the creation of the Dept of Education, college education has become less affordable and less accessible.

The US Dept of Education was creation of the Carter Administration to pander to Dem teachers' unions.  There is no provision in the US Constitution that explicity gives the Federal Government power over education.  Education is left to the states and the people by the 10th Amendment.

Public Teachers' unions want to eliminate standardize testing requirements so they can go back to the days of 'social promoitions of students' that created an underclass of functional illiterates during the 1970s and 1980s.

I thought they already had Also I thought Hostin was history for all of he unfounded accusations and slander which resulted in numerous law suits and losses for ABC/Disney? Any bets on how much longer the current version of the view lasts with these hateful ignorant Harridans?
