Why do Trump and Republicans want to abolish the federal Department of Education? In a word, Project 2025:
"'Federal education policy should be limited and, ultimately, the federal Department of Education should be eliminated.' Those are the opening words in the Education Chapter of Project 2025."

"In Trump’s America, quality education will be the prerogative of people who are wealthy, people who are white, people who are neurotypical. If your kid needs service for English as a second language or special education, you’re going to be out of luck if the administration gets its way."
The word "federal" linked to "education" has stuck in the craw of Trump's white Southern base since the integration period.

"The governors who were there to cheer on this latest attack on public education all have one thing in common beyond their party affiliation: they are all pursuing disastrous education privatization schemes in their states."
~ David Pepper
Returning total control of education to the states will not only assure poorer educational outcomes, but will speed privatization.

"The bulk of the education department’s budget is made up of federal grant and loan programs, including the $18.4bn Title I program that provides funding to low-income K-12 schools and the $15.5bn Idea program that helps cover the education costs for students with disabilities."

An awful lot of nurses get loans & grants for their training through the DoE.
@wdlindsy@toad.social@Nazani Yes. On the weekend, I just had a conversation with someone active in local Hispanic cultural-political life, who told me how important those grant programs had been in diversifying the field of nurses in our part of the country and giving young Latino women and women from other minority backgrounds a chance to enter nursing school and offer their considerable talents to all of us.
