Where the price of things goes that shyt is never coming down

Funny enough, me and the lady are planning on buying a house this year got the pre approval, will have a decent amount left after down payment and everything. I swear ever since trumps first term, our plans have been getting derailed by him. From my job that now is in jeopardy since my company benefits alot from grants, to my lady who works in the government. For me, and millions of Americans out there, there are valid reason why we didn't want trump back. His economic policies last term was bad, now he's ramped up and no telling how bad the damage will be this time around.

Trump Administration Threatens to Withhold Funds From Public Schools

Trump Administration Threatens to Withhold Funds From Public Schools
Summarize
State education officials will be required to verify that they have eliminated all programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion that the administration deems unlawful, according to a new memo.

The Trump administration threatened on Thursday to withhold federal funding from public schools unless state education officials verified the elimination of all programs that it said unfairly promoted diversity, equity and inclusion.

In a memo sent to top public education officials across the country, the Education Department said that funding for schools with high percentages of low-income students, known as Title I funding, was at risk pending compliance with the administration’s directive.

The memo included a certification letter that state and local school officials must sign and return to the department within 10 days, even as the administration has struggled to define which programs would violate its interpretation of civil rights laws. The move is the latest in a series of Education Department directives aimed at carrying out President Trump’s political agenda in the nation’s schools.

At her confirmation hearing in February, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said schools should be allowed to celebrate the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But she was more circumspect when asked whether classes that focused on Black history ran afoul of Mr. Trump’s agenda and should be banned.

“I’m not quite certain,” Ms. McMahon said, “and I’d like to look into it further.”


More recently, the Education Department said that an “assessment of school policies and programs depends on the facts and circumstances of each case.”

Programs aimed at recognizing historical events and contributions and promoting awareness would not violate the law “so long as they do not engage in racial exclusion or discrimination,” the department wrote.

“However, schools must consider whether any school programming discourages members of all races from attending, either by excluding or discouraging students of a particular race or races, or by creating hostile environments based on race for students who do participate,” the Education Department said.

It also noted that the Justice Department could sue for breach of contract if it found that federal funds were spent while violating civil rights laws.

The federal government accounts for about 8 percent of local school funding, but the amounts vary widely. In Mississippi, for example, about 23 percent of school funding comes from federal sources, while just 7 percent of school funding in New York comes from Washington, according to the Pew Research Center.

Yeah, there is a large brainwashed "heil Hydra" community there, but if it isn't defeated now, it feels like America is looking at civil war, or a passive return to Jim Crow.

Hell, I don't live there, so i can't speak to it, but this doesn't feel like a "this too shall pass" moment.

I hope to God I am wrong.
It’s fundamental to Americanism since its inception.

You can condense it down to we know better and if it fails we’ll just go to war :pachaha: .


The only generation who hasn’t been to war is Gen Z and leadership needs to make sure that isn’t the case. So you have a lot of folks turning on soft power and looking to pick a fight.
