Breaking: Trump to order the closure of the the entire department of Education later today

[newarkhiphop]

US President Donald Trump is said to be on the brink of issuing an executive order to dissolve the entire Department of Education.

According to The Wall Street Journal, a draft document has been prepared by Trump's officials instructing newly appointed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to "take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department."

The order, labeled as "pre-decisional," further asserts: "The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars—and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support—has failed our children, our teachers, and our families." The paper reports it could be issued as early as today.

The Real Impact of Eliminating the Department of Education

Eliminating the Department of Education could worsen racial inequities by cutting federal funding to poor schools.

time.com

Today, Black students disproportionately attend segregated and under-resourced classrooms. Eliminating the Department of Education would worsen this trend by cutting federal funding to the schools that need it most. In lieu of a federal Department of Education, the Trump Administration is pushing a school voucher program agenda that prioritizes putting money in the pockets of families who already have plenty so that they can send their kids to private school and further erode the idea of school as a public good. What’s more, eliminating the Department of Education would mean schools would not need to provide children with disabilities the resources they need and are guaranteed under federal law.

And yet, with the promise of an executive order that calls for dismantling, or at the very least dramatically whittling down the work of the Department of Education, President Trump and other conservative politicians threaten to make it more difficult for public schools to survive and build a path towards education equity. Attacking the Department of Education hurts millions of young people and their families. It will have harmful, severe, and lasting effects on the quality of education received by children across the country that will be felt for generations.

Gutting this department threatens to roll us back towards the worst days of school segregation. I believe this because, as historians will tell you, the Department of Education was created to address racial inequity.

The Department of Education enforces Title VI, a civil rights law that prohibits race discrimination in the use of federal funds and Title IX which prohibits gender discrimination. The federal government has had a long history of protecting civil rights of students. Without the Department of Education, school districts may be emboldened to restrict access to quality education and ignore complaints of discrimination or hate against students based on race, gender identity, disability status, religion, and immigration status.

No educational standard.

Easier for states to teach their version of history.

School will most likely get more expensive.

Additionally some states will be preparing their kids for college much better. That was the case now, but being educated in a Red State means you better have a lot of money for the best schools so you don’t look like a total dunce if you decide to go to a decent college (which will be harder to get accepted into based on your state’s reputation).

At the very very worst, states are starting to look like separate countries now.

That’ll additionally carry over into employment as well.

If you want to get a job in Cali but went to high school in South Carolina, good luck - people will know that the average Mexican gets a better education than your state. I’m pretty sure the average California thinks that already, this policy just now makes it more official.
