#deptofeducation — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #deptofeducation, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #DisasterDon is moving forward with his plan to ELIMINATE the #DeptOfEducation (b/c "the poorly educated" vote #Republican.)

    Despite what most #Conservatives think, the DoEd DOES NOT set the curriculum of public schools. But misinformed Republicans want to eliminate it b/c they think it does.

    Rick "Oops" Perry wanted to eliminate the Dept of Energy b/c he thought all it did was promote Oil sales. 🤦‍♂️

    Eliminate FEMA b/c its Dir didn't know there's a "Hurricane Season". 🙄

    "Why don't they (stop this madness)?"

    BECAUSE IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT!

    "In chaos, you can steal." - Randi Rhodes.

    Kill off the poor so you don't have to "support" them anymore. #Covid #Measles #BirdFlu #NIH #DeptOfEducation #Welfare #Eugenics

    "You could reduce violent crime by aborting every *black* baby in the country. That would be despicable thing to do, but it would work." - Reagan's Education Secretary Bill "Place'yer Bets" Bennett.

    It's what they WANT. 🤬

    "I love the poorly educated!"

    - Donald T**** in 2015 when a poll showed he beat out his #Republican rivals among those with "a High School diploma or less" by 40 points. #DeptOfEducation #IgnoranceEqualsControl

  4. #SundayShowdown

    Penny Nance, Wingnut president of "Concerned Women of America" reacts to a #Fox #Poll that says "65% of voters oppose closing the #DeptOfEducation", responding with:

    "The Dept of Education was a bad idea created by Jimmy Carter."

    ...and therefore justifies it being destroyed. 🤬

    "I ❤️ The Poorly Educated!" - #DonnieDumbass upon being told in 2015 that he out-polled all of his opponents by > 30% among "the poorly educated."

    The less educated you are, the more likely you are to vote #Republican. #DeptOfEducation

  6. @lydiaconwell
    "Winston Smith's" job in the novel "1984" was to remove words from the English language.

    The People were told it was to "streamline" the language, but in fact, it was a means of CONTROL, b/c when people lack the words to express themselves, the people are easier to control. #DeptOfEducation

    #Orwell's "1984" was mostly a cautionary tale about how insidious #Fascism can be... much like how his novel "Animal Farm" taught the same lesson about Communism.

  7. Not to be a political downer but gutting the department of education seems like a really uneducated move.

    I don't know if the people dismantling everything good/helpful/positive about the federal gov't think this far ahead (doubtful), but…

    …to put all this stuff back after #DonnieDumbass does away with it… #VOA, #FEMA, thousands of #IRS agents, #Superfund Cleanup, #DeptOfEducation, etc…

    …it's going to cost SO much money just to put everything back, #Republicans are going to run on "#Democrats want to explode the size of government" for the next two decades. 🤬

  9. #TheOrangeMenace is shutting down The #DeptOfEducation and the woman he put in charge of destroying her own job, Linda #McMahon, fired 1,300 people, telling the Media:

    "Don't worry. We kept all the GOOD people."

    Who are the #GoodPeople? Apparently, white men who attended Conservative Christian universities.

    "Not good"? Women and people of color. 🤨 #ISmellALawsuit #DisasterPresidency

  10. #TFG #TFGElon #DuckFoge #PublicCitizen #LawSuits #PersonalInformation #DeptOfEducation

    Here are the basics:

    In order to apply for and participate in federal financial aid programs, students must submit sensitive personal information to the Department of Education and authorize the Department to access their tax records.

    The Department of Education retains this information for millions of current and former students and their family members.

    Under the federal Privacy Act, the Internal Revenue Code, and the Department of Education’s own regulations, access to these records is strictly controlled, and these records may be used only for specified purposes.

    Yet Elon Musk’s “DOGE” squad got access to the computer systems that house this data.

  11. Commander #MikeJohnson wants to completely re-write the entirety of #Constitution in his #ChristianNationalist image by calling for an #ArticleV Constitutional #Convention. In the process, he wants to eliminate federal agencies like the #FDA, #CDC, and the #DeptOfEducation, as well as eliminate the government's ability to borrow money. Of course, he also wants to legislate his personal brand of #Christianity, and codify #discrimination against the #LGBTQ community.
