The Department of Education was founded in 1979. We’ve spent $1 trillion on education and but test scores and qualified graduates have been declining.
UPDATE:
Trump Begins Process Of Redistributing Department Of Education’s Duties:
President Donald Trump announced Friday that several of the Department of Education’s (ED) duties are being transferred to other agencies.
Student loans will now be handled by the Small Business Administration (SBA) “immediately,” while special needs and nutrition programs will be moved to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the president said at a press event Friday. The redistribution comes after Trump signed an executive order Thursday to begin the dismantling of ED.
“I think that will work out very well,” Trump said. “Those two elements will be taken out of the Department of Education.”
……..Student test scores have reached some of the lowest levels ever recorded in the U.S., according to a January report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), with one-third of eighth graders failing to reach the NAEP’s reading assessment benchmark in 2024, the largest percentage ever recorded, and 40% of fourth grade students tested below NAEP’s reading proficiency, the largest percentage since 2002.
Part of the department’s failures can be traced to its increased focus on social justice issues over education. Under the Biden administration, the Department of Justice (DOJ) poured over $100,000,000 into DEI efforts for K-12 schools, funding projects aimed toward “LGBTQ inclusion” in which “anti-racism and anti-oppression are embedded.”
Trump immediately sought to eliminate a number of radical topics from schools once inaugurated, signing a series of executive orders banning critical race theory, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and gender ideology from federally-funded schools.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling for the dismantling of the U.S. Education Department, advancing a campaign promise to take apart an agency that’s been a longtime target of conservatives.
Trump has derided the Education Department as wasteful and polluted by liberal ideology. However, completing its dismantling is most likely impossible without an act of Congress, which created the department in 1979. Republicans said they will introduce a bill to achieve that.
The department, however, is not set to close completely. The White House said the department will retain certain critical functions.
Trump said his administration will close the department beyond its “core necessities,” preserving its responsibilities for Title I funding for low-income schools, Pell grants and money for children with disabilities. The White House said earlier it would also continue to manage federal student loans.
The president blamed the department for America’s lagging academic performance and said states will do a better job.
“It’s doing us no good,” he said at a White House ceremony.

The status of education in America is deplorable.

The K-12 curriculum in this country has been infected with some of the worst indoctrination in history.
Education has taken a back seat to pronouns, LGBT propaganda, ‘gender identity”, pedophilia, and unhinged teachers using their classrooms to push leftwing agenda.
In New Jersey, the Dem governor eliminated basic reading , writing, and math skills for teachers’ certification. Children in New Jersey are being taught by illiterates.
Instead of reading, writing, and arithmetic, students are subjected to grooming, sexualization, and tranny restrooms.
The State knows how to raise your children better than you. They’ve even said it out loud.
During the Biden regime, the FBI targeted parents who fought against the CRT indoctrination of their kids. Standing up to corrupt school boards and objecting to the racist indoctrination of kids resulted in getting labeled as a “domestic terrorist”.
A Marxist middle school teacher in Maryland bragged about “indoctrinating” her students, called for an urgent fight against capitalism while adding, “Revolutions involve violence.”
The Oregon Department of Education has asked white students to show how their math is a form of “white supremacy”. Being able to handle basic math is a “white thing”.
Will Rogers Middle School English Teacher Tyler Wrynn, admits to indoctrinating children against the parents’ will with the end goal of overthrowing the American system of government.
California High School teacher Gabriel Gipe says: “I have an ANTIFA FLAG on my[classroom] wall” “I have 180 DAYS to turn them into REVOLUTIONARIES”. ‘There’s a reason why these kids [GenZ] are becoming FURTHER LEFT’.
Autumn Gonzalez, an Oregon High School teacher, describes white kids as “predators” , “not intelligent”, “racist, “dumb” and a variety of other bigoted comments.
A California pre-school teacher, William “Willy” Villalpando, wants to teach children as young as 3 months about “queerness” and sexuality.
Another California teacher, Danielle Serio, compares exposing kids to drag shows to Shakespeare.
The the Kenosha Unified School District in Wisconsin defended exposing their students to library books that illustrate anal sex, sex between minors, and gay sex.
Pushing porn on kids started during the Obama regime. His “Safe Schools Czar”, Kevin Jennings, created an entire curriculum based on gay adult sex acts for grade school kids.
New York City planned to incorporate sexual positions, porn stars, and bestiality as classroom instruction for sex education.
Minnesota Highland Park Middle School teacher Mandi Jung, frequently posts videos on TikTok espousing anti-capitalist and anarchist philosophies and uses these in classroom instruction.
Boston Public Schools cancelled advanced classes for high performing students because of “racial inequalities”.
A Sacramento high school teacher wanted Shakespeare removed from the curriculum because the subject matter ‘didn’t speak to ethnically diverse students’. Evidently, Ebonics, vulgar rap lyrics, and “race-based” teaching are the new norm.
A Loudoun County school board member, Beth Barts, spearheaded the effort of targeting parents who disagreed with the board’s actions by compiling a list of dissidents, harassing them, and ‘publicly exposing them’.
A parent who who spoke out against CRT was placed on a ‘hit list’ by his leftwing activist neighbors.
These policies start at the top. Eliminating a bloated, venal waste of taxpayer dollars is going to improve the learning environment. Parents are fighting back, but they need to take it a step further. Get rid of school boards that promote that shit. Take your children out of those schools.
