If you work for the Dept. of Education and are posting on Twitter about how angry you are about losing your job, please realize only 27% of school-aged children between 4th and 12th grade will be able to read it.

Nice.  Looking forward to the guy Randy Winegarten to go absolutely apoplectic tonight on MSDNC and CNN

Department Of Education Closes For ‘Security Reasons,’ Speculation Explodes

Trending Politics News
By Chris Powell
March 11, 2025



The U.S. Department of Education abruptly shut down its offices Tuesday evening, citing unspecified “security reasons,” fueling speculation as the agency prepares for sweeping layoffs under President Donald Trump’s administration.

According to a memo sent to all employees, staff were ordered to vacate the building by 6 p.m. ET and instructed to take their laptops home. The closure applies to the department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., as well as regional offices, with operations expected to resume Thursday.

The directive, issued by James Hairfield from the department’s office of security, facilities, and logistics, did not provide further details on the nature of the security concerns. The agency has yet to release an official statement addressing the matter.

Sources familiar with the situation have indicated that nearly half of the department’s workforce—around 2,200 employees—are set to receive “reduction in force” notices starting Tuesday evening according to Fox News. The cuts align with the administration’s broader push to significantly downsize federal agencies, part of Trump’s long-stated goal of eliminating the Education Department altogether.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

If they are real teachers, perhaps they can find a real job.

If not, GOOD LUCK

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
For the part of our society which has viewed the Federal Government as the provider of sustenance, and not the ravening wolf on the doorstep, this is sending seismic shockwaves through the populace.

My only concern is that for those who were even new hires who were intent on being genuinely useful in a relatively secure job, this will be the sort of wake up call that may sour them on public service, while those who are deeply entrenched providing the inertia to the deep state will be retaining positions.

I get the impact of sweeping reforms, but pray the right people/positions are the ones eliminated, instead of those who have not yet been turned by the entrenched purveyors and perpetrators of government inefficiency.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

As part of the Department of Education’s final mission, the Department today initiated a reduction in force (RIF) impacting nearly 50% of the Department’s workforce.

Today’s RIF reflects our commitment to efficiency, accountability, and ensuring that resources are directed where they matter most: to students, parents, and teachers.

I appreciate the work of the dedicated public servants and their contributions to the Department. This is a significant step toward restoring the greatness of the United States education system.

Whoever remains should ideally be so busy they won't have time to sit around and dream up more cock and bull schemes to piss away taxpayers' money.
