President Trump is on a roll!
President Trump previously nominated Linda McMahon for Education Secretary.
This is a major upgrade to Miguel Cardona, the Biden-appointed Marxist who ran the department who spent years defying the US Supreme Court with student loan bailout workarounds.
President Trump said he wants to send education back to the states.“For the past four years, as the Chair of the Board at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), Linda has been a fierce advocate for Parents’ Rights, working hard at both AFPI and America First Works (AFW) to achieve Universal School Choice in 12 States, giving children the opportunity

My son's generation missed this. I was shocked to learn he had basically no education about American history, among other things. I have two little great-grandbabies, tho, and this is an excellent idea.

Yeah poster #4, the teaching of history seems pretty scarce in schools these days, especially American History. I personally know several people in their 30s, 40s and 50s who know very little about American History, much less any World History, and one of them teaches grade school! Fortunately, they teach math, which is pretty screwed up too from what I've seen.
Then again, when you speak to younger folks who actually DID have history in their curriculum good luck figuring out who wrote the garbage they spew.

Develop the skills needed to compete in the modern world. They would lead to jobs that put food on the table, a roof over one's head, and some entertainment to boot. Socially, our schools should teach productivity, merit, a respect for life, and ethics. Do away with victimhood, gimme, and entitlement attitudes.
It can be done at the federal level or the state level. It doesn't matter which as long as it is done! What he have today may actually be worse than nothing.

I did study history in the late 1970's. If you believed the books, America was mostly founded by women, blacks, and a few old white guys nobody remembers. Luckily I has a couple great teachers. One was a 4f during the war who could tell you about the home front because he was there. The other was an Italian teenager during the war who later married an American GI. Both fascinating teachers.

I guess the national teacher's union won't contribute to Trump anymore.

I challenge anyone on the left to name anything that the Department of Education has done to actually improve the education of our children.

student should study how this country was formed and how this Constitution and government works. Might take 6 years of education, but just might keep congress honest and follow the Constitution.

It can't happen soon enough. Massive damage has been done to the minds of young people, continuing right in through college. It's scary to hear how many "smart" people talk stupid stuff thinking they are well informed. And if you challenge them with facts, boy, can they get nasty.

When I graduated in 1961, I had both civics and American history, by teachers that actually stood in front of the class and taught, and then assigned homework when the bell rang. Those teachers are no more.

The US Education Department currently costs taxpayers over 250 billion per year. DOGE can get a quarter of its one trillion dollar goal of government cost savings by simply eliminating this department. Let's do it!

This can't come soon enough. The centralized educational bureaucracy federal, state, and local has decimated education in America. States and districts have to work on fixing their education messes; hopefully, this will help them jumpstart real change. If you have the background, get your business plan together for starting a school. There are some beautiful school campuses out there that might need a buyer. Oh, am I dreaming?

Sell this to teachers, those in the classroom, not the administration folks who eat up the majority of all the funding in education, as a means to increase THEIR funding and the funding for in-class books and materials.
Then, have someone run the numbers of all the administration expenses with a breakdown of X number of positions.
Where is all the money being spent?

The wife of one of my nephews is a teacher and a liberal. She is greatly in favor of getting the government out of her classroom so she can teach.
