Why do we need to spend 82 billion yearly for a federal department of education? What can they do that the states can't do?

[Guacamole409]

is it that people in the federal government are just so much smarter than the people in the state government?

[rachel776]

Schools should all be at the local level run by parents.

[Guacamole409]

I couldn’t agree more. Department of education makes zero sense.

@msc545

You never made it past fourth grade?

[msc545]

Yes, let's have children all attend schools that are run by parents who if they are lucky manage to finish 6th grade. That's a very intelligent choice.

[Guacamole409]

Are you just inferring that they are six grade educated or just being a jackass?

The department of education is federal. How would that change local schools? Where did you come up with parents teaching? 😂😂

[Guacamole409]

Parents should run private schools, and not government idiots.

Project 2025 addresses that problem. We do not need the Dept of Education so it will be defunded and disbanded.

[exitseven]

@msc545 the idea is to create some competition for the public schools. Currently they really have no competition and to make things worse they are run by the teachers union and do not have the best interests of the students in mind when they set policies.

[exitseven]

@msc545 it was the teachers union that had Biden keep the schools closed for two years. The teachers got a 2 year paid vacation and our kids have fallen behind the rest of the world. They do not care about kids.

[Guacamole409]

@msc545

So what does the department of education do?

[exitseven]

@guacamole409. The DOE pushes liberal crap on our kids. I know some kids that are in grade school. They were looking at a lesson on their laptops. It was all a out global warming. I said "You know that global warming is not real, right? And they said that it was. There is a local kid that got suspended for wearing a t shirt that said "There are only two genders".

[Guacamole409]

That's crazy. Public schools have to go.

[exitseven]

@guacamole409 No , we just need school choice to create some competition.

[Guacamole409]

Exactly, but the people who don't understand that, somehow think the federal government should be in charge

[eagle1951]

tell everyone what they want them to do, right or wrong

[Guacamole409]

Just get rid of that useless, bloated joke.

[UnicornLobotomy]

They can turn the frogs gay.

[Guacamole409]

That just seems like a lot of money for gay frogs.

[UnicornLobotomy]

Its not about the frogs. Its about about brainwashing people to keep them down. No homeschooling family business owners living autonomously..

[Guacamole409]

I know what you meant.

[Dongie]

Just another venue from which to suck funds.

[Guacamole409]

Can you imagine how low our taxes would be if they cut out all the bullshit?

[Dongie]

Yeah, I'd have things again. And property tax shouldn't exist. I buy property and pay the government rent yearly to own it.

[Guacamole409]

The death tax is my favorite.

[Dongie]

Is it back to 55%? I remember when my favorite uncle passed his two sons got hit with that crap. I think it was if the estate was valued at 1.5 mil. or more?

[Dongie]

They received about 400k each. When it should have been closer to 900k each.

[Guacamole409]

That’s total crap what happens to them.

[Dongie]

Yeah. And the guy my uncle had over their money imbezzeled from Randy about 200k, and I don't know about Donnie. It's probably about the same. He and his wife moved to Hawaii after Randy contested it with a lawyer, which cost him 50k. Donnie passed 13 years after his dad and Randy passed of a massive heart attack in St. Louis Missouri on December 18th 2018. 19 years after his dad. He was an over the road trucker. He had been my roommate since the previous May. We were double first cousins. He left me 48k. I started drinking again 3 months after. It sucks still.

[Guacamole409]

Such a shitty system.

[Dongie]

Isn't it though.
