Get ready for bible belt motherfuckers to be even dumber and there to be no standardized anything. What's the point of having a federal government if you aren't going to federalize important things like education?
They’re going to be disappointed when they find out the education department is basically just student loans and doesn’t set education policy for K-12 education. They distribute grants to K-12 schools but actual policy is mostly a state and local thing.
Also, they run a continuing education system in DC. I took a course in Mandarin before a trip to China once. I didn’t work for the government but there were classmates learning Mandarin for national security reasons who wouldn’t even tell me which agency they worked for.
TL/DR: The Department of Education isn’t setting policy for elementary or middle or high schools.
Also if people think that this is going to be the deathblow to education in the U.S... it's been dead. It's a rotting, festering corpse. I've already seen public highschools in shitholes like Mississippi and Oklahoma pushing 4 years of Christian theology "electives." It'd be great if the DoE was setting education standards, because leaving it to the states has utterly failed.
Even my highschool in california was full of teachers who didn't want to be there, would actively ignore the fact the class was behind and would "adjust" scores to make sure most everyone passed, even if they didn't try to learn anything
It’s bad in the richest bluest states too. Unless you’re living in the suburbs going to a district that serves upper class families, the education system in the US will invariably fail you in one way or another
This is what Biden solidified by refusing to prosecute Trump, refusing to stack courts, and refusing to espouse policy that would've won the election. Biden had a choice between beating Trump and continuing genocide, and he chose to genocide.
The leftists' claim through this whole debacle has been that the democrats are controlled opposition, and the complete lack of resistance from democrats after Trump's victory should make it abundantly clear to you that they were correct.
The total number of Biden Article III judgeship nominees confirmed by the United States Senate was 235, including one associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, 45 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 187 judges for the United States district courts and two judges for the United States Court of International Trade. Biden did not make any recess appointments to the federal courts.
Biden had the most Article III judicial nominees confirmed during a president's first year in office since Ronald Reagan in 1981.[2] Biden appointed the most federal judges during the first two years of any presidency since John F. Kennedy.[3] Biden reached the milestone of 200 federal judicial confirmations on May 22, 2024. This rate of judicial confirmations exceeded the pace of Donald Trump in his first term.[4]
This together with the reduction of funds for universities is the ultimate proof that the administration does not value education as fundamental for society.
