These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.
---

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of public schools as we know them.

As the Trump administration dramatically reshapes the U.S. public education system, ProPublica’s reporters are investigating how these changes affect people across the country.

Betsy Devos served as the 11th United States secretary of education from 2017 to 2021. Now it’s Linda E. McMahon from WWF
renown. The privatization of public assets and spaces and hatred of government is almost surely a prerequisite to join the Trump plutocratic regime

It really seems like they’re planning on dumbing us all dow(banned books, censorship of Black American history..)and leaving American children behind, for our economy’s expanding service sector.

This is only one element of an economic collapse, the edge of which our country now teeters. The others are hunger, poverty, homelessness, lack of medical care, unrestricted incarceration, enforced labor, etc. Everything that happened during the Great Depression and NAZI Germany. Paranoia you say? Just stop and think about what the idiot in the White House has done since he was sworn in....

@ProPublica Is this the same public school system that forced native children into "re-education", the same public school system that used the strong arm of the law to force families to send their children at gun point, the same public school system based on the Prussian model backed by the Rockefellers to create compliant factory workers?

SURE WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMEONE DISSOLVED THAT RIGHT?

@ProPublica Public schools used to teach the same values held by most north Americans, which were based on conservative/mostly christian views. Over time, like our universities, they have become a bastion of liberalism that do NOT reflect parental views anymore.
Parents have had enough. They're taking back their kids education and sending them to charter/private/religious schools again en masse.
But its not parents abandoning the public system, its the public system which has abandoned parents.
