Yes, please explain how. Why do some states completely fail when it comes to educational achievement while other states soar? That's why you can't blame it on the federal Department of Education. Funny thing is, pretty much all the failing states are the red states because they don't know how to manage their money and they don't know how to handle education. Most of the time you see children failing, it's because the parents fail to support them. This is coming from an experienced teacher AND parent of high-achieving students AND kids of my own. By the way, Arizona has put this model into play for some years now, and it has been a failing experiment.

Then we can discuss common core math that practically eliminated most people’s ability to help their children with math because it’s essentially worthless. Plus in this economy where both parents have to work to afford to live, which parent has the time to educate the children?

Really most of the bad stuff comes out of California just look at the current VP

[@jz3712]

You don’t pay tennessee taxes we here in Tennessee do… and our taxes pay for our schools and your taxes pay for your schools not sure where you got the idea that you pay taxes for TN…we don’t do that here, the department of education is the federal department in charge of schools across the entire country and they are constantly failing at teaching kids basic things like reading and math and basic history, that is the issue, if your in charge of education and nobody you “educate” can read….your failing and should not continue getting paid to not even teach basics like reading….maybe try filling in gaps in your own education surrounding taxes and stated vs feds you seem to lack a basic understanding. Have an excellent weekend, good luck in commiefornia

[@MikeinTexas74]

We all agree! Tennessee should pay for Tennessee! And California should pay for California!

[@alexvelasquez7428]

​@@jz3712you are so wrong 😂😂 critical thinking is not your strong suit

[@fufrRs]

​@@jz3712 It is "you're" in charge. And "you're" failing. You might want to fix your grammar, so you, at least, SOUND like you're semi-educated, before you make derogatory comments towards others. That person didn't say anything negative about what you guys are trying to point out. They just didn't quite get their facts straight, that's all.

[@HippocratesGarden]

If it's important to your constituents, they will fund it. The only reason they want federal money is because they know if left to local support, much of what they push will disappear, as will their jobs. They are concerned about money, not education.

[@jeremyspencer5027]

After all, the last thing Trump wants is an educated electorate…..

[@Bob-p2q9q]

@jeremyspencer5027 look at the issue first before you make a comment

[@CRYHARDERLIBS]

ok moron

[@wlp1053]

Time to trim the fat finally. This is a good first step

[@mitchpalmer5116]

"We don't need no..." 🤣

[@mr3745]

The US now ranks 28th out of 37 developed countries in math education. Most countries which have surpassed us have strong central education standards. Turning the US into a patchwork of quasi-private, religious , book banning indoctrination camps is just going to accelerate our demise and ensure our children can't compete in the 21st century.

[@bigjimtenbillion]

Drag queen story time and all boys aren't blue absolutely should be banned instead of the Bible, bring back the ten commandments

[@StickerGirl-b4n]

Abolishing federal education would free up federal money to fund state education directly. Federally funded, state controlled.

[@dixonvfitness1921]

Parents need to educate kids. Not our government.

[@SlW-p4k]

Abolish it!!!

[@JediObiDave]

Deleting the Federal Department of Education will not mean the end of all federal funds for schools. That hasn't been worked out yet.

[@worldwidestuff5567]

Get rid of it -what a waste of everyone's time and money.

[@dougmartinek9964]

No more political agendas in the classroom

[@josephloughrey3434]

I do wonder that since schools in most places are paid by property tax and a daily stipend paid by state tax, what it is that the federal department does?

[@pansysutton4689]

Decides the agenda. Everyone the exact same. Like China, strip the child from the parents and then teach them that their parent is the government! Such sickening BS!

[@bigjimtenbillion]

Indoctrination of anti patriotic propaganda

[@Truther567]

The government should not have any say so in how Americans want to educate their children. That is a parent’s decision.

[@StickerGirl-b4n]

Protect the children!

[@clint3651]

Right along with the teachers union!!!!

[@teresamcnulty8471]

High time. Years back the public school was unfit for my son's education, I had to do it myself...and it's only gone downhill since.

[@fufrRs]

I'm really sorry you had such a horrific educational experience for your son. That is not the case for everyone BTW. It's good you were able to do such a great job educating him, yourself. You must be an amazing person!! Give yourself a high five, like we say to the first graders ✋

[@barbarosasmth2104]

Omg. Best news I've heard in years. Trump you have my full support. Abolish the department of education. Give us back our children.

[@fufrRs]

You could always take your children back. Nobody was stopping you. And nobody is stopping you now. You are allowed to homeschool your children...AND the government pays for that. Isn't that amazing?

[@Judge247]

If we retain a Department of Education, should we also have a Department of Raising Your Children, or a Department of Shopping for Groceries, or maybe a Department of Planning Family Vacations? Abolish the Department of Education, allow the states to run their own programs, and use the money saved to reduce the national debt.

[@fufrRs]

There won't be any money saved. Why do you people not understand that? There will still be government funds but the funds will go to the states so they can run things. Still going to cost tax dollars.

[@matsm-xd2dw]

The old guy shouldn't be making decision on children's education.

[@debbiebrugman1238]

Abolish the federal dept of education. Education should’ve never went federal. Send it back to the states. Parents are better able to decide how their children should be educated.

[@sandrawadsworth5173]

Please do!

[@angus6032]

Our education system is DEPLORABLE. Let parents chose where to send their children...NOT the federal govt or teachers unions.

[@oddshot60]

This is just something Jimmy Carter put together to get the teacher's union to endorse him. End it now!

[@lovemacheeen1777]

Nothing but support here❤❤

[@djfg1938]

The DEA is the first agency I would get rid of.

[@RayeParrish]

Dept of education needs to be abolished. The people should be able to take care of there schools

[@shannonlawsonnashville]

Good! Close it down!

[@elizastar1973]

It is NOT "MR." Trump lady, it is PRESIDENT TRUMP. Thank God he is back.

[@AsaTrenchard1865]

Excellent!

[@gpop7911]

Can't be any worst than it is.

[@quantumviewtherapy8926]

Excellent!!! Where did Donald come from? He is truly a God send.

[@fufrRs]

I'm so confused I thought he is God

[@bigdawg111]

This would be AMAZING!!!!

[@khemkaslehrling3840]

So he's arguing for other states to pay, not for the actual department.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Use the money saved by dumping tens of thousands of govt employees to give schools

[@poksnee]

The education unions would be devastated...and that is a good thing.

[@David-qo7lz]

Do away with it!

[@greggjones244]

Great! It’s gotta go

[@dorothymartin8557]

During the majority of my lifetime education was run by state and local governments according to their local priorities. What right does the U.S. government have to take over this authority? Doesn't the Constitution say that all powers not specifically delegated to the U.S. government remain with the states and people? Is this not usurpation of power? As to financing, maybe we should limit education to what we can actually afford. How long will a U.S. government that is some 35 trillion over broke going to pay much for education? When it is already saying social security will be ending soon (tho we can keep sending billions to Ukraine by paying U.S. defense companies to make weapons for them) and who knows what other palms are benefitting. Unfortunately, it appears that the U.S. economy is living on borrowed time financed only by past economic hard work reputation success that is no longer being sustained by hard work or American production.
