Project 2025 outlines dispanding the Department of Education, and you don't think education is going to change that much?? Truly a space cadet.

The department of education provides funding and some guidance. How do they provide this funding? Based on test scores and student success. The department came about in 1980 and since has overseen the. Largest decrease in American literacy. The main reason is because they made schools “teach the test” in order to secure funding. While the roots of our modern education system go farther back to “create obedient factory workers” we have seen it erode even further under the DoE. Want to know when college prices started to grow out of control? Wow, surprise it directly correlates with the DoE starting to fund student loans! Broken clock right twice a day, blah, blah, blah

What do you know about the initiatives barbara bush set up while in the white house?
