ehh. who actually thinks the Department of Education is doing a good job?
Millions of students get loans for college through the DoE. A lot of people wouldn't be able to get out of lower classes without that help, which is coincidently what these people want.
Folks don't realize they are looking to return us to a Feudal like state for a modern age. Billionaires and a few elites get access to all the things we take for granted while large segments of the population become more ignorant and probably illiterate and losing chances over generations to move up in society. This will only kill the middle class further.
School funding for prek to 12th is actually handled at the state level more than by the DoE. Also funny enough, this has coincided with right wing states defunding their own school systems.
Peasantry is making a comeback. But I guess this is something European countries have had as part of their culture for centuries. It maybe something they naturally gravitate to in the end.
