im pretty progressive and even I can see dismantling the department of education

@Greyparrot
All education should be private and only regulated by government to limit time. Really, homeschooling already shows much better results than public schools.
There’s a saying: “Math is hard.”

Yeah, it's pretty hard to toss out the old bread and butter and say Trump is trying to give a tax cut for the rich by shutting down a useless Dept...

Lol, that's what I hear every day from my math students. (I teach math)

You guys really love to self own.
Anyone who knows anything about education and politics knows that higher education directly correlates with higher support for democrats. This isn't even just a "people with degrees" thing, the same correlation can be found with people who consume more news compared to people who don't follow the news.
There's a reason the republicans hate colleges and try to invalidate using student ID's to vote. Education is not the republicans friend.

A stronghold for Democrats in the Great Lakes region, Illinois has consistently favored the Democratic presidential candidate by double digits in every election since 1992, including for favorite son Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 and Chicago-born Hillary Clinton in 2016. Joe Biden also won Illinois by a comfortable margin, capturing 58% of the vote to Trump's 41%, maintaining a similar 17-point margin as Clinton did in 2016. For the first time since 1868, Illinois will award fewer than 20 electoral votes, a change resulting from the 2020 United States census reapportionment with people leaving for better living conditions.
Like you, I am absolutely shocked that a place called "School of Social Justice High School" is not teaching anything of value.
Indoctrination is not the republicans friend.
Agreed.
with people who consume more news...
You are better off wiping your ass with that propaganda than shoving it down your own throat...

This has nothing to do with anything I just said.

You're supposed to put in brackets words that you edited from someone else's quote, otherwise people might think that you're just disingenuously misrepresenting their position cause you don't have an actual argument if your own.
I know it feels like indoctrination when you are too ignorant or too unintelligent to understand how the real world works, but it just ain't so. Sorry, there is no nation wide conspiracy of all those educated people trying to manipulate young minds into abiding by an ideology invented by George Soros.

This sounds like it came from the Department of Redundancy Department.

In 67 schools in 2023, not a single student tested proficient in math. For reading, it was 32 schools
This is purely because of inner city black schools. In fact every "alarming" education stat for America is because the country is increasingly becoming non-white.

@Dr.Franklin
It's actually purely due to teacher unions. Dept of Education was just another arm of the teacher's union, but it's gone now. There's still a lot of head chopping to go to slay that hydra.
-->
@Greyparrot
Look your a good poster grey, but lay down the libertarian crusade for this one. It's not because of the department of education, or unions, it is 100% entirely because of demographics.
-->
@Dr.Franklin
Aren't demographics always 100% entirely Doc?
Though I'm not sure that Trumps Sino-Russian approach to national and global management is going to be popular with a well armed proletariat.
-->
@Dr.Franklin
I'm 100% sure if teachers were allowed to integrate the black diaspora into western values instead of teaching them racial theories that those scores would vastly improve. The teacher unions are designed to create failing schools based on racial theories to ensure perpetual funding and job security. We were on the right track up until 1965 before we legally created classes based on skin color.

Yeah, you can point to high "graduation rates" in education and count the "diplomas"...
But the real metric is proficiency, which, by my source, has failed despite graduating 70% of the population anyway and chalking up the "educated" box for political pandering. The education system's obsession with graduation quotas over actual competency has produced a generation with diplomas but no practical skills. It’s the same playbook as corporate DEI initiatives, optics over outcomes. You can fill manufactured quotas, but you can't manufacture excellence.
DEI advancement is on the way out, and hopefully also an elimination of the ambiguous legal term "race" that only appeared in the Dred Scott decision, and then again in 1965. The legal term "race" is nowhere to be found in the 14th amendment. The idea that we are legally biologically different due to skin tone and that we need special legal "armbands" to identify us needs to be eliminated in a world of realistically genetic mutts. Racial progressivism needs to end if we are to enjoy the egalitarian world promised by the 14th amendment.

The agony of Democrats supporting the U.S. president day to day from sun up to sun down vice versa.
Including the children that don't even vote .

And there's the misdirection I was waiting for.
We're not debating whether higher education or practical skills is as better indicator of financial success. You started this thread based on the idea that if people were more educated they'd vote republican. I jumped in to explain that this is the opposite of the truth. Now you're arguing that education doesn't matter.
At some point you have to wonder why you need to keep changing the subject. If your views reflected reality wouldn't you be able to stick to them?

Of course. That's what people do when they have no words to try and formulate an argument with.

@Double_R
More educated doesn't mean you have a garbage diploma to check a DEI box.
Find a realistic metric bro, like a standardized proficiency test. Can you actually read a book?

Hence assimilation.

As usual, you cannot address anything I just argued so you come back with a bunch of irrelevant silliness.
DEI has nothing to do with this conversation. It's just another right wing buzzword you MAGA cultists love to inject into any conversation. Funny thing is you don't even understand the basic concept of what it is. DEI does not stand in opposition to merit, DEI is about advancing merit. But racist white people can't tell the difference. It helps black people, so it's bad.
It's also hilarious that you guys continue to pretend that you care about merit while supporting a president who found his defense secretary in Fox News weekends, and his deputy FBI director on a podcast, just to name a few. You don't care about merit.
Lastly, you continue to run away from your own topic. You started this thread with the self own implying that an educated populace would be bad for democrats, but instead of owning it you just pretend we're talking about something else.
Pathetic.
