Why do we need a federal education department?

[WoodsmanVol]

Well, this is is not a ringing endorsement of what we’ve been doing:

America Is Sliding Toward Illiteracy

Declining standards and low expectations are destroying American education.

The slide began, I think, in the 1970s when old-fashioned methods were abandoned for voodoo touchy feely BS>

Got to keep unions in business.

The DOE has its issues, to be sure. But a DOE is necessary to keep various red states from mass, institutional, racial discrimination.

Yeah, we want to make sure there isn't any hangings. Good thinking.

Don't phrase it like it's a bad thing. Bad reading skills are fundamental to a poor education and a poorly educated population is easier to manipulate than a well educated one.

You have a point.

What does the DOE do when these evil red states violate civil rights?

They take them to federal court (after some threats), so WTF is the use of the DOE when any citizen of said evil red state can sue in federal court.

The DOE administers programs and spending which helps prevent the substantial inequities which would otherwise exist if the red states could completely run education.

This. We need to acknowledge this, both sides of the aisle, that is precisely what is going on.. and we cannot fix it until we accept it

That is either the most naive or the most delusional comment in this thread.

The federal government is only good at two things: 1) Stealing our money, 2) Killing people. That's about it.

 

[FLVOL_79]

What a delicious thing to say. So I'll ask the question then...

How does diversity make us better?

It doesnt. I didnt day it does.

Diversity is good in your diet, your investments, ho's youre banging, and exercise routine. That's about it. Source: Me.

That's the rationale for getting rid of a bloated waste of money. Which is exactly what the DoEd is.

Lmfao please explain to us what exactly those scary republicans would do to racially discriminate if the DOE didn’t exist

What he means here is: black schools would not receive more funding than non-black schools if not for federal subsidies.

In his mind, that’s evil and racist if you don’t overfund the black schools
