Yay! No more Government Schools! (photo by Austin Hodges ) And the Parade of Terrible from the Trump administration continues lurching forward: The Washington Post has seen a draft budget proposal for the Department of Education, and it reflects Education Secretary Betsy DeVos's agenda of emphasizing "school choice" -- especially for parents who choose anything that's not a public school. It's all about empowerment, don't you know, at least for parents who'd like their kids to go to a church school where they won't have to learn about demonic stuff like evolution. Let's cut $10.6 billion from public schools and give it to anyone who wants to make a buck running whatever they want to call a "school":
Kids, it is a scientific religious fact that God smites insubordinate wimmin and lebeneses, uh, lesbians, with leprosy, so don't listen to feminists or have anything to do with them, and evolution was never a theory, Darwin didn't exist but Adam and Eve did, and Armageddon and the Rapture is next Friday. Amen. You are now educated.
Oh that's exactly what society needs right now, more fragmentation into insulated bubbles, particularly for children in various developmental stages. Just imagine what type of kids a new wave of "schools" such as The Breitbart Academy for Gifted Frogs would be unleashing upon the world under this plan.
So glad to see you brought it back to Trumpcare at the end, because it's the same damned song and dance. Trumpcare is designed to provide huge tax cuts to the wealthy, not health care to the American people. The Department of Education under DeVos isn't designed to improve the educations we give our children. Its purpose is to provide government funding for private school tuition for the rich, who were going to send their kids there anyway but don't want to have to pay for it themselves.
He's good at talking fast, making ridiculously ignorant statements that confuse the public, and getting away before anyone recognizes just how stupid he is.
Don't forget the extra scoop of ice cream FOR PRESIDENT ONLY!

“Washington has been in the driver’s seat for over 50 years with very little to show for its efforts.”
Oh, this is fucking rich. The Department of Education was founded in 37 years ago...not 50. Math much, Betsy?
I'm sorry...but I think you meant to say, "You is educated."
I wish to hell they'd hurry up.
Growing up I was taught that it is unacceptable to strike down such craven selfish evilness.
Sometimes, I wish my parents didn't do such a good job instilling that level of restraint.
