Rep and Dap for making the shyt sound level headed than demonically scary.

Well the demons are between the lines. We'll confirm with real-life examples if and when these policies take effect

It means free diplomas for every child that can read abc toward. And write it backwards. Next level sh1t

Republicans have been trying to get rid of the modern Department of Education(it's been in existence in some shape or form since the 1860s) since 1984 and they haven't been successful. At the most is it will be massively gutted which would definitely harm a lot of people.

An Amish level education is what your child will receive.
These anti intellectual magas know they need to dumb the masses down for their overlord tactics to work..and they're getting there.

He literally said he doesn’t want education to be funded by the federal government and instead education should be funded by the individual states.

-I was talking to a teacher last week & she was telling me how the school district here has already been in communication with a school district in another state about this. Apparently the school boards are coming together to prepare for massive cuts & trying to unite to fight this.

I heard they’ll be less/no pell grants, and they’ll probably try to end public service loan forgiveness.

Meanwhile dems rely on reddit to raise awareness

I'm reading about Project 2025 right now, and looks like he's going to enact ALL of those proposed changes.

America really did fúck itself this go-around.

Worst case scenario

1. States set their own rules, creating big gaps in education quality.

2. Poorer schools lose federal funding for things like special education.

3. Rich areas thrive while poor ones fall behind without federal help.

4. No national standards mean no one checks if schools are doing their job.

5. Civil rights protections, like Title IX, could weaken or vanish.

6. Programs for research and education tech disappear.

7. Federal student loans collapse, leaving borrowers stuck with private lenders.

8. U.S. education loses its edge globally without consistent standards.

These programs could all be in trouble at the local level.

Special Education (IDEA).

Low-Income Student Support (Title I).

Free and Reduced Lunch Programs.

STEM Education Initiatives.

Teacher Training and Recruitment.

English as a Second Language (ESL).

Technology and Internet Access.

School Safety Initiatives.

Arts and Music Programs.

Career and Technical Education (CTE).

Rural School Support.

Early Childhood Education (Head Start).

Civil Rights Enforcement.



Best case

1. States get full control, tailoring education to local needs.

2. Less federal bureaucracy means faster decision-making and innovation.

3. Schools focus on teaching, not meeting federal mandates.

4. Communities invest directly in education, fostering local accountability.

5. Taxpayer money stays within states instead of going to federal programs.

6. More room for school choice and alternative education models.

7. Local solutions to education problems replace one-size-fits-all policies.

8. Education evolves faster to meet modern challenges without federal red tape.

Even in the best case scenario who would be there to protect marginalized student communities?

That's cool and all, but where are the poorer states going to get said funding? What programs will they make cuts to in order to acquire those funds?

Democrats won 'highly engaged' voters and struggled with everyone else in 2024
