Trump pledged to cut federal funding to schools... - Ed Week

“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.

"Public education is important. Well-educated citizens are more employable and prepared to compete in the 21st Century economy. Education reduces crime. It improves public health and health equity. Education produces a more informed population, people able to think for themselves and their communities. As the saying goes, if you’re burning books because they contain some ideas you don’t like, you’re not afraid of books or courses—you’re afraid of ideas. That perfectly encapsulates the Project 2025 approach to education." - Joyce Vance

How to destroy people

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” ― George Orwell

The department’s website, which as of tonight is still online, clarifies the mission: The U.S. Department of Education is the agency of the federal government that establishes policy for, administers and coordinates most federal assistance to education. It assists the president in executing his education policies for the nation and in implementing laws enacted by Congress. The Department's mission is to serve America's students-to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. That’s what we are losing. - Joyce Vance

Linda McMahon

"McMahon’s longtime connection to Trump, and work promoting his public policy agenda, offers a clue to priorities. Trump appeared in WWE programs over the years, and McMahon donated to his first campaign, the Associated Press reported.

Though not as visibly outspoken as other people who were publicly considered contenders for the education secretary job, McMahon has played a key role in refining a Trump policy agenda. She serves as chair of the board for the America First Policy Institute, an organization formed after Trump’s 2020 loss that has been central to planning for a second Trump administration." - Ed Week
