Education Department Plans to Fire Up to Half Its Staff

Irony is that few of the Red Hat Club have any idea what the Dept of Education actually does, nor why it would be missed.

As we all know, Trump loves the uneducated, and it appears he is doing his best to insure their number increases

Okay, then why don't you tell us what the Dept. of Ed. does other than act as a middleman for handing out government money for purported "education" purposes.

For beginners, the Education Department manages approximately $1.5 trillion in student loan debt for over 40 million borrowers. It also oversees the Pell Grant, which provides aid to students below a certain income threshold, and administers the Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA ), which universities use to allocate financial aid.

Education Department oversees the system by reviewing all federally recognized accrediting agencies. Institutions of higher education must be accredited to gain access to federal money for student financial aid.

Education Department’s money for K-12 schools goes through large federal programs, such as Title I for low-income schools and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Those programs support services for students with disabilities, lower class sizes with additional teaching positions, and pay for social workers and other non-teaching roles in schools.

Trump just hates it cause it won’t recognize shams like his Trump U

Sounds like they're more of a loan department than a department of education. I'd say there are other government agencies that can handle handing out loans, grants, and money. It's pretty damn clear the Department of Education has no reason to exist.

NONE of it is education, anchovies.
The Dept of Education does NOTHING to educate anyone.
 
Just give the responsibility to the states. And the local systems where people are actually in those schols and classrooms And aware of what is necessary to make the programs Work... And to distribute funding properly... They have ruined the special education programs....

States are a race to the bottom. States will split it into well educated states and red states.
