So much for anti-discriminatory education efforts at the Federal level in the USA. https://www.ed.gov/laws-and-policy/laws-preschool-grade-12-e... Mandated support for disabled kids too.

Does the Pell Grant go away too? They manage that. I used that to get my Computer and Information Science degree. I had to work, to get through school, too, but the Pell Grant helped. Is that gone with this move?

Why should I pay taxes .. i guess for roads, water, and people with badges to carry guns? A fickle military that allows our enemies access to our secrets (first term) and allows them to dictate our policies (second DJT term).

No information gathered, soon, at the Federal level about education institutions' performance, for the sake of policymakers' wisdom.

This could be a "drive the car off the cliff" kind of maneuver for education, instantly making our (US) current class system much worse.

I wish more support would go to https://represent.us/ and their American Anti-Corruption Act.


I’m reminded of what was posted here a few days ago: https://tintin.dlazaro.ca/year
