Anyone that has enough intelligence to watch the news knows just how much Donny loathes education along with his silly cronies in the GOP….he, Donny, proves how much he hates educated kids almost daily….
Since President Donald Trump went back to the White House in January, his administration has been on a frenzied and haphazard tour gutting existing government agencies, flouting norms and attempting to force conservative values across the government. Much of this effort has, ostensibly, been laser-focused on ending or curtailing diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
So it may seem discordant that the administration also has announced investigations into several school systems for allegedly violating federal laws surrounding student civil rights, threatening to pull their federal funding if they don’t comply.
Until, that is, you realize the schools are mostly in blue states. And the allegations all have to do with questionable claims about transgender kids.
“They’re using schools and education as a big battleground for their culture wars,” Will Ragland, a researcher at the left-leaning think tank Center for American Progress, told HuffPost.
Throughout his campaign and the early days of his second term, the president has claimed that American schools are failing because the Department of Education is pushing so-called radical left-wing ideas such as teaching about the history of racism in the U.S. or reading books with LGBTQ+ themes. It’s a common talking point in conservative circles, despite the fact that the agency does not set curriculum.

Then there is those dolts in the GOP they have a hard-on for education since about 1980 and it just keeps getting worse with every election.
Red states suffer the mist from a lackluster education……like red state Mississippi which is the least educated state….
50th Place – Mississippi
Once again, the Magnolia State finds itself at the tail end of the American educational race. This isn’t a new view for it, as it’s often seen the back of the pack when it comes to schooling systems. But wait, there’s more! This educational rollercoaster doesn’t seem to have an end in sight, with the state’s academic woes continuing to pile up.
The Magnolia State, Mississippi, has sadly earned the dubious distinction of being the nation’s least educated state, according to WalletHub. Other reports echo this sentiment, with Education Week giving it a disheartening ‘F’ for academic achievement and a ‘D’ for student success. But can you guess which state is nipping at Mississippi’s heels, vying for second-to-last place?
If you would like to see where your state falls on the least to most stat….

Red states keep making laws that have nothing to do with educating children and more about insane fears of problem that do not exist…..Voters in red states are idiots and the stats show why.
Education of our children is too important to be sidetracked with bullshit.

“lego ergo scribo”
They Won’t be happy until education teaches kids nothing except jobs that are available in the industries of the Oligarchs.
What is the basis for this astonishing conclusion ?
It seems to be headed in that direction. chuq
The creatures that are coming for our kids are the ones that have the legal statutes to give children sex change drugs and other prep, perform sex change surgery with the ability to not seek parental permission or even parental notification. They can even teach and promote for a child to create one’s own gender despite biological identity. How can this criminal mutulation of children be legal and more insane is that parents can be charged with child abuse if they fight this and even lose parental custody ? Democrats can’t figuure out why they lost ? This is one reason and a very dramatic demonstration of the perverted values to which many ascribe. The advocates of this process are downright evil and they have the notion that Trump is the enemy of choice and democracy.
He is just that. None of that has anything to do with a good education for children….just like the bathroom stupidity or banning books that educates no one. chuq
Do you consider the efforts of parents not to have books such as explicit and graphic pictures and text say re oral sex in schools a matter of banning books ? “Banning books” is how the left characterizes these parental efforts.
I have seldom seen overwhelming evidence that it is truly the parents….banning books is like banning music makes it more desirable for people to read. chuq
Carl, a serious question. Is there any genuine single example of where an underage child had sex-change surgery performed on them without the knowledge or consent of their parents? Because if what you say is true, then surely that is a criminal offence and those involved have been prosecuted and jailed?
Has anyone ever presented the idea of a national curriculum that would be the same in every state? It seems to me that would be a better solution than a mish-mash of different states having different educational standards. The US is dropping in adult literacy tables, and the general knowledge of world geography and history has been famously low for decades. I personally feel that a standardised curriculum would help to rectify that. Best wishes, Pete.
Quote below found online in response to my Google question.
‘A significant portion of the US adult population, about 21%, or 43 million people, has low literacy skills, meaning they struggle with tasks like comparing and contrasting information, paraphrasing, or making low-level inferences.’
That would invade the stupidity known as states rights….did you see where my state of Mississippi is in the standings….that is pathetic. chuq
The least education a person receives, the easier it is to convince them of an agenda.
Trump and the GOP ilk are making sure the children stay ignorant and complacent….chuq
