Trump Calls for Department of Education to Be ‘Closed Immediately’
President Donald Trump said he wanted the Department of Education to be "closed immediately," describing it as a "big con job."
How in the hell does he think making states take their own approach to education magically decrease cost per pupil and improve learning?
Also, what factors are considered with cost per pupil? I'd imagine some of that would come from food, transportation, and other factors that we also fall behind on compared to the rest of the developed world. You can't solve that by just focusing on one government department.
No surprise there - there aren't enough ignorant people to fully sell Trump's con job as things stand, so he needs to take steps to make even more people even more ignorant. And hamstringing education is key to that.
