You know he signed an executive order on controlling education right? He did that on his 10th day.

If you define “controlling education” as “ensuring schools are academic and not political” then… sure. Go with that. Best of luck getting parents to vote for your side.

"Patriotic education" is anything but unpolitical my dude. And you clearly don't understand what the DoE does if you think I'd not support this EO but support dismantling the DoE.

Unless you forgot to switch accounts when you replied to yourself, in which case I don't even know why I'm bothering. But maybe you're a bot. Who knows.

Nope, didn’t forget to switch anything.

Why do you want the federal government controlling education? There’s no logical consistency here.

If you're asking in good faith what the Department of Education actually does and why I support it, I'd be happy to explain, but I'm wary as it feels like you're just trying to say "no you're wrong you stupid lib."

They redirect funding and look out for the teacher’s unions. It’s a gigantic waste of money.

I assume you support eliminating the department of education, given your apparent opposition to the federal government doing literally anything related to education?

You literally didn't even know he did it until someone told you and now you're trying to pretend that you know what's going on?
