#Trump admin to announce dismantling of much of #Education Dept
The Education Dept plans to announce Tuesday that it will move multiple parts of the agency to other federal depts, an unprecedented & unilateral effort to dismantle an agency created by #Congress to ensure all Americans have #EqualAccess to educational #opportunity & better coordinate federal programs.

Federal #law directs that these programs be housed in the #Education Dept. The #Trump admin is employing a work-around, the people briefed on the matter said, whereby other government agencies would run the Education programs under a contract with the Education Dept. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the changes.

The #Trump admin laid the groundwork for this change earlier this year when it signed an agreement to move career, technical & adult education grants out of the #Education Dept to the #Labor Dept. Under the arrangement, Education retains oversight & leadership while managing the programs alongside Labor, a way of sidestepping the federal #statute.

Offices that could be moved out of the agency include the Office for #CivilRights, which investigates allegations of #discrimination on the basis of #race, #sex & #disability; the Office of #SpecialEducation & #RehabilitativeServices, which administers the $15 billion Individuals with Disabilities Act program; & the #Indian #Education program; the Office of #Elementary & #Secondary Education, which administers #K12 #grant programs; & the Office of #Postsecondary Education.

The move was described by 3 people ahead of the announcement. 2 of these people said 6 offices within the dept would be shifted elsewhere; the 3rd person said it was at least 2.
#Trump signed an EO in March seeking to close the dept & asked #Education Secy Linda McMahon to work with #Congress to do so. The agency, which was created in 1979, has long been derided by conservatives as unnecessary & ineffective. But Congress has not acted on or seriously considered Trump’s request.

McMahon has acknowledged that only #Congress can eliminate the dept but vowed to do everything in her power to dismantle it from within.

An #Education Dept spox did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
Supporters of the dept say that the agency is effective in coordinating multiple aspects of education in one place & keeping priorities important to #students, #parents & #schools high on the federal agenda.

Cutting federal funding. Weakening civil rights protections. Injecting God into the classroom.

Here are some of the ways Trump’s Department of Education could upend public schools.

@ProPublica Any idea from under which ideological headstone the subverters of public schools crept back into daylight?

"[T]o our advancement in all that has marked our progress in the past century, I suggest for your earnest consideration, and most earnestly recommend it, that a constitutional amendment be submitted to the legislatures of the several States for ratification, making it the duty of each of the several States to establish and forever maintain free public schools adequate to the education of all the children in the rudimentary branches within their respective limits, irrespective of sex, color, birthplace, or religions..."

— U.S. Army General & 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant —

🚨 🚨 🚨 CALLING ON MACKENZIE SCOTT 🚨 🚨 🚨

tis the perfect time for the reluctanct milliardairess to go all petty on her ex’s ass and pay for the whole crew of @TeenVogue to leave CondéNast & start a new zine, ONLINE AND OFF.

TeenVogue is excellent because it has very little to do with Vogue. they dont even publish a mag in USA.

and Vogue, like anything #fashion captured by finbros, is a necrotic zombie stuck on selling haute crap to Boomers.

do it Mackenzie!

the people running #finbro #fashion think fashion is a formula they get to manipulate and engineer.

and it’s not a coincidence that the dismantling of #homeEconomics #arts #music programs in #USA #publicSchools happened during the finbro take-over of fashion houses here & in Europe. they don’t want generations of makers not buying their crap.

that’s why the fuckers co-opted #punk & #hipHop; as if they were gimmicks you buy into and not practices bourne of resistance & survival…
