Your turn Skippy

Show any Dept of Ed policies that are harmful

In Detail

You made the claim. Back it up if you can.

What does the Dept of Ed do?

• Establishing policies on federal financial aid for education, and distributing as well as monitoring those funds.
• Collecting data on America's schools and disseminating research.
• Focusing national attention on key educational issues.
• Prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access to education.

Why was the Department of Education created in the first place?

The United States Department of Education (ED) has been created and re-organized several times throughout its history, with different purposes each time:

1867 The first Department of Education was created by President Andrew Johnson to collect information about schools and teaching, and to provide advice to schools. The goal was to help states establish effective school systems. However, the agency was demoted to an office in 1868 and became a minor bureau within the Department of the Interior.

Congress created the Department of Education to strengthen the federal commitment to equal educational opportunity, and to improve the quality of education.

The ED was created by combining offices from several federal agencies. Its mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access.

Honestly, I don't think it'd be the end of the world if we did away with the department of education. The dumbest states are red states like Louisiana and they want to put the 10 commandments in every class. Maybe like abortion, this should go back to the states.

But remember, there were lots of problems with public education back then. You may have to pay to send your kids to school in the future. Which I'm fine with. You came so you pay for their education. Or don't. America needs ditch diggers.

So, nothing. As expected.

That’s about it
In the US, Education is controlled by local districts and the state.
Dept of Education shares information between states, provides funding for certain programs, emergency aid and makes sure states don’t revert to their racist ways

You can't support your bullshit, as expected. You're dismissed.

Sad to see how little Conservatives know about the education system in this country

I know that in the 40+ years since the feds decided to shove their noses in, nothing has improved. Indeed, it's generally gotten worse.

What have the Feds actually done to make your Hillbilly School District fail?
