Rough. So this means for Americans that now they no longer have an organism regulating education? Does it affect universities as well? Does it mean each school now is free to choose its own standards of education and less people will be able to afford good schools? Id like to hear the actual consequences of this from people who live there
the experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars — and the unaccountable bureaucracy those programs and dollars support — has plainly failed our children, our teachers, and our families.
To be replaced by 50 larger duplicating bureaucracies.
One of the biggest functions of the department is higher education student loans. I’m unsure that is duplicated at state level, or as easy for them to get banking relationships to facilitate them.
The president doesn’t have the authority to unilaterally close any department established by congress
This is about to be insta-slapped-down by a federal judge
He’s been doing it already. They ignore judges now, and Congress is complicit.
Then it will have zero lasting effect if it isn’t a law
Trump thinks he can rule by decree, but the entire government is going to become inoperable sooner than later without using the established procedures
That’s the point. That’s always been the point of GOP government: take an axe to the thing you don’t want, cry that it doesn’t work now that you took an axe to it, and get the Congressional or public greenlight to take the axe to it again.
