Regardless of who you voted for, you still have to handle your responsibilities. Maybe dismantling the Department of Education is a good thing, forcing us to ensure our kids get what they need. It could compel us to demand from our state that our tax money is used to give our kids exactly what they need. We don't have to wait for the government; we can do it ourselves. This is now in our hands, and it's going to be tough. If it comes down to survival, you have to take care of what you have to take care of.

Trump's approach could involve dismantling a significant portion of the bureaucratic structure, particularly targeting the entrenched officials in government. For instance, the Department of Education could be eliminated, allowing funds to be redirected to states for local decision-making. The question arises: how many bureaucrats in Washington have actually taught children in places like Claiborne County, Tennessee? This bureaucratic system contributes to the ongoing increase in national debt, with neither political party offering a viable plan to address it. Instead, they seem more focused on personal gain rather than fiscal responsibility.

The Trump administration ordered the Department of Education building to be vacated by 6:00 PM and closed the following day. The speaker asserts that massive cuts and layoffs are expected at the Department of Education. The speaker claims that eliminating the Department of Education is a primary goal of Project 2025, with the aim to cut education funding to the states. According to the speaker, the Trump administration and Christian nationalists want an uneducated populace to make them easier to control as slave labor for billionaires. They allegedly don't want people to have critical thinking skills because an uneducated populace is easier to control.

The speaker claims the rise of certain issues in localities nationwide originates with the unelected US Department of Education. This department allegedly uses its $83 billion budget to pressure schools into adopting "toxic ideologies" by threatening to withhold federal funding. The speaker states they are the first US presidential candidate to propose abolishing the Department of Education. They argue that 25% of the department's budget could fund three armed security guards in every school across the nation, which they present as a superior use of funds.

As president, I will shut down the Department of Education and give the $80 billion budget to parents for K-12 education. I will also require localities to eliminate teachers unions so that public schools can compete with private and charter schools. Civic education should be online, and costs for college education have skyrocketed due to excessive hiring in the managerial class. To cut costs, we need to reduce bureaucracy in the federal government and public universities. I am not a politician, and I understand how to legally shut down the administrative deep state. If Joe Biden can shut down agencies with a constitutional basis, I would support his decision. ICE should be shut down to reduce bureaucracy, but we still need to enforce the laws. We need to focus on our own vision and explain why reducing the size of the federal government will stimulate the economy and restore our constitutional republic.

The speaker addresses critics of the president's education plan by questioning their past concern about failing test scores despite the Department of Education's existence since the 1970s and over $3 trillion spent. The speaker claims current reading, literacy, math, and science test scores are incredibly concerning. According to the speaker, the president is taking action to return education control to educators and states. An event is scheduled with students, teachers, parents, educators, and governors to discuss this shift.

The administration is fighting to remove critical race theory from school districts. Children will be taught to love America, be patriots, and embrace civic values to receive federal taxpayer funding. As the Department of Education closes and funding is provided to states, the administration will ensure funds are not used to promote communist ideology. A nation cannot teach its children to hate themselves and their country to be successful.

We propose starting from zero and determining what's necessary, aiming for a 75% reduction in federal bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. The federal Department of Education, which spends $80 billion, is unnecessary since education should be managed locally. By eliminating excessive regulations and reducing the federal bureaucracy, we can lower the national debt and stimulate economic growth. These savings, combined with a growing economy, will help us stabilize finances without affecting Social Security or Medicare. Once we achieve a surplus in Social Security, we can reassess our financial strategies.

Good morning, it's Monday and I have a question for those who voted for this administration. Did you vote to dismantle the Department of Education? I'm sure you wanted changes, but dismantling a department that helps our children by passing it to the states, especially states without income taxes, will hurt our children. They want to take away abortion, but they don't offer much support once a baby is born. Now, they want to take away educational support too. What is the plan here? I'm curious to know the thought process. If you believe it's a good plan, then so be it. Have a great day.

As an attorney and former public high school teacher, I've seen firsthand the issues within our education system. I loved my students, but the bureaucracy is stifling. Only 9% of the Department of Education's massive budget actually reaches K-12 schools. A lot of federal funding requires schools to meet certain criteria, turning it into a game for administrators to grab money. This funding often doesn't directly benefit teachers or students. Instead, it goes to programs that can make teachers' jobs harder. Why does the Department of Education spend over 90% of its budget on things other than K-12 education? What are your thoughts on this?

I will close the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and return all education responsibilities to the states. States can manage education better than the federal government, as evidenced by our poor performance compared to other countries. We will eliminate federal oversight and close down the department, as many within it do not prioritize the well-being of our children. Education should be handled at the state level for improved outcomes. Thank you.

We face a crisis in education. It's time to dismantle the Department of Education and redirect its $80 billion budget to parents, empowering them to choose their children's schools. This is a crucial civil rights issue. By allowing parents to select schools and enabling public schools to compete, we can strengthen our national identity. Additionally, every high school senior should be required to pass the same civics test that immigrants must pass to become citizens.

Leaked lesson plans from a freshman education course at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign sparked backlash after a student whistleblower exposed the level of hard left ideology being taught. The student shared six weeks of lectures with Fox News Digital, accusing the professor of turning an intro course into an indoctrination seminar focused on, you guessed it, equity, identity, and oppression amongst other practices. Slides from the course, which is a requirement to graduate, show first year education majors were trained to prioritize equity, LGBTQ plus issues, privileged identities, and preferred pronouns. Erica Donalds, AFPI Center for Education Opportunity Chair, responded that what the student whistleblower reveals is political, not an education course, and called it a course in liberal left wing Democrat politics. She argued it is infuriating to taxpayers paying for these courses that it explicitly teaches new teachers to be activists and to view schools as part of a larger political system, with the ideologies in the PowerPoint described as radical left wing ideologies being pushed on students instead of teaching the science of reading, how to teach rigorous math, and other fundamentals. She noted that brand new teachers coming out of teacher colleges are "woefully unprepared," citing surveys. The discussion highlighted concerns that if teachers focus on such content, they cannot teach students what they need to know. The problem, it was said, lies with the people teaching the teachers, suggesting reforms must target teacher certification and the ideologues running these programs. Donalds advocated reforming teacher certification, arguing that students who majored in core subjects must return to take courses from colleges of education for purposes of indoctrination and protectionism by teachers unions. One point raised: courses on privilege can lead to teaching individuals to shame children for how they were born, a concern about teaching young adults who are preparing to be teachers. The discussion asserted that parents and teachers are being disillusioned by education schools, undermining trust in colleges of education and colleges in general. On the political front, Linda McMahon, the Education Department Secretary, was discussed in the context of dismantling the department. It was stated that groups suing to stop reforms are not parents or classroom teachers, but teachers unions, progressive school district coalitions, and advocacy groups that benefit from centralized federal control and oppose curriculum transparency and accountability. The claim was that Congress created the department, but nothing requires it to remain an untouched bureaucracy, and McMahon is reportedly working to deliver on a promise to dismantle the Department of Education, with some functions moved to the Treasury, the Labor Department, and HHS. The conversation concluded with support for McMahon’s efforts and skepticism about the department’s longevity, ending with a light remark about the department’s age.

Linda McMahon's nomination for Education Secretary aims to improve the U.S. education system, which ranks last globally despite high spending per pupil. The goal is to empower states to manage their own schools and promote school choice. By decentralizing education, states like Iowa and Indiana, which are well-managed, could achieve better results comparable to top-performing countries like Denmark and Sweden. The proposal includes breaking down large districts into smaller, more manageable units to enhance efficiency. The current system is costly and ineffective, and with these changes, the U.S. could significantly improve its educational standing.

I want to thank President Trump for his confidence in me to lead the Department of Education. Americans support the president's vision to make American education the best in the world, return education to the states, and free students from bureaucracy through school choice, and I am ready to enact it. We can do better for students by teaching basic reading and mathematics, protecting students from censorship and antisemitism, and ensuring that American values and true history are taught. The remedy is to fund education freedom, listen to parents, build up careers, empower states, and invest in teachers. If confirmed, I will work with congress to reorient the department toward helping educators, not controlling them, putting parents, teachers, and students first. We should emphasize career-focused education, invest in American students who want to become tech pioneers, and protect all students from discrimination and harassment.

Donald Trump is making numerous appointments and sharing his plans frequently, but there's no need to engage with his divisive rhetoric. He talks about shutting down the Department of Education, which would have severe consequences for special education, but he hasn't taken action yet. The process to shut it down is complex, and there are ways to make it more difficult for him. I'm consulting with legal experts to develop strategies, and I will share those plans with everyone. Together, we can work to counteract his proposals. There is still hope, and we will make it challenging for him to implement his agenda. Stay strong.

The administration is fighting to remove critical race theory from school districts. Children will be taught to love America, be patriots, and embrace civic values to receive federal taxpayer funding. As the Department of Education closes and funding shifts to states, the administration will ensure funds are not used to promote communist ideology. A nation cannot teach its children to hate themselves or their country to be successful.

The speaker discusses being targeted for their knowledge and potential role in a second Trump administration. They suggest shutting down the Department of Education and reforming intelligence agencies like the FBI and CIA. They highlight the need to address deep state elements within the government. The speaker emphasizes the need for significant government reform to combat embedded bureaucratic influences.

The Department of Education has over 4,000 employees with an average salary exceeding $144,000. The Trump administration considered laying off half the department. The department's mission is to provide student achievement and prepare for global competitiveness. US test scores are declining; in 2022, the US ranked 16th in science, 9th in reading, and 34th in math, and scores have fallen since 2018. The Department of Education funds schools with $80-85 billion in loans and grants, but often with strings attached, such as critical race theory and gender ideology. Shutting down the Department of Education would return that money to the states, which could then fund school choice programs. This would allow parents in low-income neighborhoods to move their children to better schools, creating a competitive market. The speaker believes this would be better for children and the country, despite the political opposition.

The Democratic party’s problem isn’t its messaging; it’s the message itself. People dislike the message, not the delivery. The Department of Education’s effectiveness is questionable; reading and math scores are lower now than in 1977 when it was created. A Michigan teachers’ union contract allows teachers to be caught drunk four times before facing consequences, and selling drugs once before firing. The NFL’s “End Racism” end zone messages are pointless virtue signaling. These messages don't deter racism and may even antagonize racists. Instead of focusing on race and gender, addressing real issues is key. Virtue signaling, in fact, perpetuates racism.

The Department of Education is allegedly staffed by radical left Marxist bureaucrats who are hostile to Western civilization, American interests, and the nation's founding documents. These individuals are purportedly using their positions to force agendas such as radical gender ideology, critical race theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion on American students and children. This allegedly takes away parents' ability to control their children's education. The plan under President Trump is to return authority to the local level, allowing parents to control outcomes, while ensuring that no federal funds support racism, gender ideology, or other ideas offensive to the American taxpayer.
