Trump considering executive order to shut down Department of Education: report ​

President Trump may use his executive powers to gut the Department of Education and then push for legislation to abolish it as part of his administration’s efforts to shrink the size of government, according to a report.

Trump administration officials are reportedly in talks about using an executive order to shut down nearly all of the agency’s functions, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

Under the potential executive order, certain functions written explicitly into statute would remain at the Department of Education while some programs would be moved to other agencies, according to the outlet.

The order would also call on congressional lawmakers to pass legislation that would formally dismantle the department, as an act of Congress would be required to completely eliminate it.

That’s big news, he’s been saying that all thru his campaign, nothing new, and probably will, and the best part is the GOP Congress won’t say a thing

Now he can reopen Trump U and get Federal finding, half of MAGA would sign up seeing the taxpayer will cover the bill
 
It's clear that the number of public school teachers convicted of molesting children is substantial.
  • The U.S. Department of Education's study suggested that nearly 10% of students experience some form of sexual misconduct by educators by the time they graduate.
  • A 2020 report reviewed by the Office of Civil Rights detailed 14,152 allegations of sexual assault.
Hundreds of educators are arrested annually on such charges, with a significant portion related to students. ,The problem is ongoing, with reports indicating that the scale of sexual abuse in public schools could be significant, potentially far exceeding other institutional abuse scandals when considering all forms of misconduct.

The political affiliations of American public school teachers show a tendency towards more liberal or left-leaning ideologies.
  • A 2019 analysis by the Pacific Research Institute highlighted that teachers are predominantly liberal, with statistics showing, for instance, among English teachers, there are 97 Democrats for every 3 Republicans, and among health teachers, 99 Democrats for every 1 Republican. This indicates a significant left-leaning skew, particularly in certain subjects.
  • Educational Background and Influence:
    • The political leanings of educators might also be influenced by the training they receive in schools of education, where materials like Paulo Freire’s "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" are influential, suggesting an ideological bent that could be described as leftist or at least progressive.
  • Public Perception and Surveys:
    • Public perception and some polls reflect this leftward lean; for instance, a Grinnell College National Poll (2023) indicated that 57% of U.S. adults felt it was inappropriate for teachers to share their political views in class, implicitly acknowledging the perceived left-leaning nature of teachers.
  • Teachers' Unions:
    • Teachers' unions, significant in the education sector, predominantly endorse Democratic candidates, further reflecting an institutional lean towards left-leaning politics.
American students have performed below expectations in standardized tests, particularly in international comparisons, for several decades.

Here are some key points:
  • PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment): Since its inception in 2000, U.S. students have generally ranked around the middle among OECD countries in reading, math, and science. For example, in the 2018 PISA results, the U.S. ranked 37th in math, 18th in reading, and 13th in science out of 79 participating education systems.
  • TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study): This study, which assesses math and science knowledge every four years, has also shown U.S. students not leading the pack. In the 2019 TIMSS, the U.S. was above the international average but not among the top performers.
  • NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress): Known as "The Nation's Report Card," this domestic assessment has shown varied performance over the years. While there have been improvements in some areas, overall, scores have not shown consistent progress, particularly in math and reading for older students.
  • Achievement Gaps: A persistent issue in the U.S. has been the significant achievement gaps among different demographic groups, with students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, certain racial/ethnic minorities, and those in underfunded schools often performing worse.
  • Debates on Education Quality: The reasons for these results are multifaceted, including debates on curriculum, teacher training, educational resources, the impact of standardized testing itself, socio-economic factors, and cultural attitudes towards education.
  • Reform Efforts: Over the years, there have been numerous educational reform efforts aimed at improving these scores, from "A Nation at Risk" in 1983 to more recent initiatives like the Common Core State Standards.

“copy and paste” must have been shammed as a kid by some teacher cause he sure has a hard on for anyone in the profession.

He’ll elected a guy who admittedly loves to “grab pussy,” has numerous sex accusations against him, talks wives/girlfriends as trophies, has rated prostites, and definitely lacks any sense of a moral compass President, but if some nobody teacher out of the three million plus teachers in America fucks up he thinks it is national news

Would you want to match how N.Y. State measures proficient compared to that of Alabama and most Red States

Good. Good riddance. They don't educate anyone.

Students learned how to read just fine in the 1970s without the Department of education





In the 60s 70s the US had the best educated people in the world... Before the department of education

No evidence of that.

Religion nonsense needs to stay out of school.
