‘Only the rich can have those choices’: Project 2025’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- On a mission to gut the Department of Education, Project 2025, the 900+ page outline for the next Republican administration outlines a long list of program cuts and policy proposals that primarily target programs which benefit low income children and students with disabilities. “They want to take the meal programs away from kids. They want to take civil rights away from kids,” says American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten. “How do we help kids go from struggling to thriving if they take this funding away?”

This is the same thing they did back during slavery in not teaching slaves to read, write, or provide them education to keep them oppressed and down. Knowledge is a powerful tool and they are threatened by us. VOTE and make your voice heard.

Yet the public schools don't teach about slavery. Who exactly were the people enslaved? What was their history before they were enslaved? What parties were involved in funding the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade? That's not taught in school, those topics are avoided in public schools. Can you tell what language those enslaved people spoke? Who owed the slave ships? What was the vatican and Portuguese involvement?
@PinkTigger33
Kick rocks. This has nothing to do with slavery.
Private schools in the UK are just about to get taxed meanwhile, the opposite is about to happen in the US! This is sickening!!
All schools should be tax exempt just like a nonprofit
@AnaterZ
For profit schools with high tuition rates should not be classified as nonprofits. Taxpayers shouldn't be funding religious schools including the Jewish ones.

How the ‘Project2025’ people long for the ‘good old days’
Back when factory owners paid their workers just enough not to starve. Anyone who rebelled was sacked.
When children had to drop out of school at the age of 12 to contribute full-time to the family income.
Where children went to ‘school’ on Sundays, not to catch up on missed education, but to study the Bible.
Where parts of the population had to live segregated, with poor schools and inferior jobs.
When married women did not have their own bank account.
Doctors were not allowed to provide information about contraception.
And anyone who is against it is labelled a ‘WOKE’.
They want to get rid of the progress we made and set us back centuries when rich white men were in power
Jesu ws woke ansd a commiie
Just like when the Left labels anyone that disagrees with them as Racist, Communist etc. And let's not forget that it was the Democrats that didn't want to free the slaves. Really neither side has the High Ground.
does anybody in the gop and far right even research and define what woke actually and know the difference between socialist and communism

You and I have a very different definition of wise.
I really appreciate how dedicated MSNBC is to making sure that the American electorate understands project 2025. I’m so surprised that the Republicans aren’t undertaking this themselves seeing as it’s their policy document and it is something that they have spent a lot of time and are very proud of. Oh well.
Todays Republican Party is NOT a conservative Party anymore. It is a full blown Personality Cult. If conservatives want to survive and have a political future they have to get rid of Trumpism and start new. Getting all the Trump supporters out of their ranks.

You’re surprised they’re keeping their voters purposefully under educated?
They know it’s wildly unpopular. That’s why it’s all a secret until Trump gets back in and implements it.
If you're surprised by the Republican party being dirty and dishonest, you have not been paying attention for a very long time. They invited the treasonous remnants of the confederacy to join their coalition all the way back in 1972. _Fifty years ago!_ They have been conspiring with the enemies of America for half a century now. That's too long for America to pretend they did not know.
"The children yearn for the mines" - the current GOP plan.
Yup! There's an amazing split-screen photo of both Tim Walz and Sarah Huckabee-Sanders posing with kids after signing a bill. Walz's bill guaranteed free meals for school children all throughout Minnesota. Huckabee-Sanders' bill rolled back state protections against child labor, making it easier for companies to employ children, by removing the requirement for the state to verify the age of children under 16 and no longer requiring permission from the Division of Labor to be employed.
You should see the difference in the looks on the children's faces in those photos. In Walz's photo, he's beaming, smiling broadly while being enthusiastically hugged by clearly very happy children in a moment of pure joy. The children next to Huckabee-Sanders look stressed and concerned, as if they've just been told they're being sent straight to the mines without dessert.

As my MAGA next-door neighbor says, “Smart people are stupid!” 😂
I am a disabled veteran and very upset that tax dollars are being used to fund religious schools. The government should not be involved in any way with promoting religion, period.
Unfortunately religion fuels political ideology whether you want it to or not.
Welfare is restricted based on Christian ideology that poor people must suffer to earn God's acceptance.
Here in Wisconsin, Scott Walker, our past governor did the SAME. He started and then expanded the school voucher system. The majority of the students were already enrolled in religious schools, and these schools don't have to accept special needs students. 💯🤨
@@juliahelland6488 that's evil.
As a parent crawling over broken glass to send their kid to a top private school even on FA, I completely agree. Religious schools shouldn't even be part of the discussion

Public education is one of the best things America ever invented, but as long as funding for public schools is based on property values (taxes) then schools in working class and poor towns will remain underfunded compared to wealthy towns. I live in MA where one town (Newton MA) spent 200 million on a new high school while in the nearby town of Hull the buildings are literally falling apart.
The ancient Greeks had public schools.
And it would be fine without federal interference and bureaucracy.

Omg!! That lady was speaking with passion!!! I loved every minute of it. Public school children deserve art, music, and full time librarians and full time nurses. It’s a choice to go to private schools, so that choice shouldn’t be subsidized with tax payer money. Especially if the private school is a religious school.

I don't think that those who created Project 2025 believe that all children must be educated. Quite the contrary. Their actions speak louder than words.
As the cult leader Trump openly says I love the low educated voters. The GOP know that well educated people are too smart to fall for their corruption so their plan is to make the country dumb.
Most states don't require private schools to use certified teachers. So many of them have people in teaching positions who are nowhere near qualified to do that job.

In Australia we pay private schools with public money. We are further along than the USA in this. It's been a disaster. They get public money to teach Australian kids but don't have to take all Australian kids. We are the 11th most segregated education system in the world based on class. This is because private schools take all the rich kids, middle class kids and high performers (scholarships).. which concentrates all the disadvantage in the public system. In the 90s, very few kids went to private schools. Since publicly funding private education started in the mid 2000s this has grown to 1/3 of all children.
My foster kid was kicked out of two private schools because he was too difficult before he came to live with me. The public system had to put a lot of resources into helping him and now he's doing ok. This was doable in my middle class area as he was one of only a few behaviour problems but it would have been impossible if I lived in a poor area where there are high concentrations of behaviours.
Australia's ranking is dropping every year but no-one points to segregation as the cause... the way you boost your ranking is by bringing up the bottom.
Oh... private school kids don't get any better education for all the money either. When controlled for socio economics they perform equal to public school kids. Researches said if parents took the 15% of their pay they spend on private education and spent a day a week at home Australia's education would improve more.

There were no such helpful programs when my ex walked out and left me with 2 young kids and a heavy mortgage with no child support. I had to survive by working as many jobs as I could get. It was terrible for the kids and for my own health. Glad you got something to help your family out. Not all of us are so fortunate.
It sounds like you got used. Try birth control. It actually works. LOL
@@jabbermocky4520after the navy, my father worked the docks and got injured. The hospital for his treatment was 90 miles away, none of these programs existed and those that did, were not yet available to non-whites.
Our luck was that my mother came from a large family that stayed near enough to one another, that the load for such occurrences could usually be distributed among the various family members. Six siblings, five in the almost immediate vicinity, plus grandparents is what made it possible to handle the situation. Those without that much family and limited monetary resources, often have to make adjustments that takes one parent out of the house on an almost permanent basis. How many of the single parent households in the standard statistics belonged to this group, has never been published. There is serious doubt as to whether they have ever been gathered. However, I can think of, at least 5 other households, within a 5 square block area of my childhood neighborhood, that could be so described. But, back then, the monthly rent for a 2 bedroom, would be up to $50.00. A place to live, away from home, increased the costs and the need to earn more. Night work, overtime and time away, were the solutions, short of criminal activities. Therein lies the source of many urban problem complexes. Children absorb attitudes and habits of adults withe their range of vision.
No surprise that the "religious right" is neither religious or right, just cruel and greedy.

"Reduce federal funding for students with disabilities and remove guardrails designed to ensure these children are adequately served by schools."
I've lived this lifestyle, in the 90s, in a rural public school. It is horrible, I was left alone in the dust, and as soon as I showed my gift with Math, the teachers would glow profusely and accept thanks for "educating" me. They ended up being the verbal bully quite a few times their selves. I would grow up confused and blame myself for not having a visual physical handicap, so people would be aware I have a mental and hearing handicap and stop picking on me and holding me to unfair standards, but to also stop perceiving me as a threat that needs to be held down and tortured. Because why?

Wrong! in fact, Democrats don’t even understand that it is 100% the Presidents decision alone and he has the singular authority to use the military to stop insurrection without Congressional approval. But not a single one of you made a peep. That’s why we have Trump today.

It’s unconstitutional on its face to spend government funds on religious schools, no matter what the religion or how they characterize it as “choice.”
The problem with saying that is religion is very tough to define.
That's right. The Founding Fathers deemed *ALL* religions unfit for modern, civil law & governance.
The *1st Amendment's Establishment Clause* prohibits the government from making any law, _“respecting an establishment of religion.”_
This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion.
*Constitution Article VI Supreme Law - Clause 3 Oaths of Office*
_"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; _*_but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."_*
This means nobody is ever required to swear to a god or on the Bible, or any other religious book for an oath of office. They may choose a god or religious book, but none is required.
Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible in their oath-taking ceremonies. Theodore Roosevelt did not use the Bible when taking the oath in 1901, nor did John Quincy Adams, who swore on a book of law, with the intention that he was swearing on the constitution.
_"In this enlightened age and in this land of equal liberty, _*_it is our boast,_*_ that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest offices that are known in the United States."_
*-George Washington* (To the Members of the New Jerusalem Church of Baltimore, 27 January 1793)
_“The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan Nation.”_
*- John Adams* (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, Founding Father & 2nd president)
_“...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."_
*-Treaty of Tripoli - June 7, 1797. Signed by President John Adams & Ratified UNANIMOUSLY, by the Senate June 10, 1797*
....only a few times in history the Senate unanimously agreed on anything.
A 2018 Supreme Court Ruling re-affirmed this statement, from The Treaty of Tripoli.
The Supreme Court released an opinion on May 14, 2018 in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn., 584 U. S. (2018), Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion wrote:
_"The Treaty of Tripoli was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President John Adams. As such, it is a "legislated text" which must be read "textually". The lower courts in this case read a hypothetical legislative intention into the text by dismissing Article 11 as "a mere formality". The language itself makes a clear direct statement that _*_our government is not based on the Christian religion and any attempt by a government official to represent our government as Christian contradicts the text and the historical understanding of our founders."_*
_"Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?"_

@@xjarheadjohnson Government money is, and has been for a long time, been going to students (for religious schools) in the form of grants to college students. I am mildly against vouchers but for a different set of reasons. But most of the people in the comment section here, as well as those at MSNBC, are in the uncomfortable situation of defending the status quo. What the host fails to mention is that under most voucher systems the voucher is still less than what the average public school student gets in said state. Home school and private school students are "better" students by almost every metric and they do it with less money.
No, the establishment clause does not prevent any and all government entities from having anything to do with religion. The first word tells one who it prohibits: Congress.
As far as the Treaty of Tripoli goes . . . it is not in effect because the Libyans broke it . . . and it does not actually say that in the Arabic portion of the treaty . . . and it qualifies the "Christian Religion" part with: "as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen."
This nation was a "Christian" nation in that at one time the majority of people, including the founding fathers, professed some type of belief or loyalty to some sect of Christianity. And . . . even John Adams called for a national day of prayer. The laws of countries are typically reflective of the beliefs and culture of those countries. We see this around the world. It is not earth shattering or new: it is basic history and sociology.
And many Christians do not swear on a Bible as it says in multiple places in the Bible not to do that (Matt 5:36&37 is but one).
Are you for the taking down of pagan statues and paintings all over the nation (especially the capital) that were commissioned by some type of government entity?

Keeping in mind that I had no intentions of seeking another teaching position. Private or public. I was content to make a career at that private HS.
At a staff mtg, in the Catholic school, a voucher promoter came to explain its impact on our school. W/o recalling the details I do distinctly remember walking out of that meeting thinking; 'this is just a money grab'. Since then I have had no evidence to disprove my feelings at the time.
Agreed. Teacher attrition is another sad consequence of diverting tax dollars away from public schools. As you know, teachers are already stretched with professional responsibilities for larger, more diverse and needy (yet no less deserving) classes. We often pay to go to work each day as well because of the instructional materials/supplies we pay for out of pocket so that their students will have the basics they need to succeed. "Summers?" That's when we snag an extra job or take additional college classes to maintain required certification. Teaching is a labor of love (and yeah, many teachers are childless cat persons, but still invest heavily in their students' futures), but we can't do what we love and what our students deserve when programs like vouchers and Project 2025 stack the deck against us. I've watched some phenomenal teachers tearfully decide that they just can't anymore.
@maryfranco3810Its frightening. My little one became a public school teacher and she works so hard. She is alone in the classroom with a few of her students being violent and destructive. There's no funding for an assistant teacher or special classrooms for kids that disrupt class. You really wrapped up how it is in your comment. Thank you Maryftanco for your thoughtful comment.
@@gregpendrey6711 Your welcome. Hope she does well. In the end it is a rewarding profession.
@@gregpendrey6711 Hugs and positive energy to your daughter. I hope she's able to find a cohort of fellow teachers that will be a support system for her - offering a time out/safe space for a misbehaving student can be a life saver in a crisis. And please encourage her to leave work at work. Evenings and weekends should be sacred time for whatever energizes her. There's a saying in education - you can't fill someone else's bucket when yours is empty. Praying that she can find a sweet spot and I WILL be voting blue to put Project 2025 in the trash heap where it belongs.
It is a money grab but it's also so far right religious can indoctrinate children. Two birds one stone.
Deplorable!
if u want private school, you pay for it, not the rest of us
If it's government funded, it needs to be government ran.
The government offers money, the Private industry raises prices, ruining the supply and demand structure.
This is not completely related to this story, but I think it's important for Americans to also know how far behind American high schools, regardless of whether it is public or private, are compared to other developed nations. I live in Australia which is middle of the road as far as education quality, not achieving levels of education standards as high as those seen in Scandinavia or Singapore. But we still manage to have high school graduates about 2 years ahead of the US by the time they finish 12th grade. 12th grade in the US education system is the equivalent to 10th grade here. American students, therefore, have to do the extra catch-up work when they begin attending college.
My sister and I both did some of our schooling in the US in the late 1990s. At American schools, we attended longer school days, had fewer breaks with no recess, and also far more homework compared to Australian schools. Regardless, as soon as we entered 8th grade in the US system we started to fall behind Australia. As long as the American public is unaware of this, American students will continue to get a raw deal.
Absolutely, public schools were behind behind way back when we were fighting as a Black people against the old books that were being passed down to us. They are really trying to take us back well beyond 60 years. This is horrible and outrageous. Please vote blue up and down the ticket.🗳️💙🗳️💙🇺🇸🇺🇸
The public school system in the US is funded locally and not Federally (in some cases, yes...long story) within each state. Public school in one state can be totally different in another state and then even more different when from city to city in each state.
Once American kids reach teenage years in school, almost the *entire* focus of school is extracurricular activity, namely sports. Every parent and student athlete think the kid is destined for, if not professional sports, at least a full ride scholarship to a good college, which of course is not usually the case. There is way too much focus *away* from academics in middle and especially high school, to the detriment of our kids' long-term readiness for real adult life after graduation. And I say this as someone who participated in sports and received social benefit from it (peers give you social credit for it)....but there is way too much focus on no academic activity in American schools.
This is what happens when we have taxpayer dollars being spent on private schools instead of public schools. I had a fantastic public education in the late 50s and early 60s. We had everything, including great musical groups that I participated in. These days, it's a struggle to get the arts and music into our schools although in our area, we do have music programs. You get what you pay for, and you don't pay for good education, you won't get it.
@@sawas2421 Not to mention there isn't enough emphasis on the arts and music. Music, especially, is something one can enjoy and participate in for an entire life. Football? Not so much.
7K is not enough to pay tuition at a private school.
Vouchers aren't intended to put new students into private schools. They are intended to be used by those already in private schools to subsidize private Christian schools.
@@DRKrust492that's messed up.
You're right.
So, jondowee, what are you trying to promote?
@@ddduhawk3111I think the person is saying 7k isn’t enough to put an outsider into a public school. But that’s not their intention. They want to give the 7k to students already in private schools. So here we go again subsidizing the rich.
The number of choices available is irrelevant if no one can pay for them. 'Libertarianism' is a word that means 'freedom for the people with money and resources'
Indeed
I severed 7 yrs on the school Board and we fought this crap the whole time taking Public Money and giving it to Private Schools . and most Private schools are run by RELIGIOUS Organizations. and like I said we could lose federal funding
Childless cat lady here. I resent paying school tax for more than 2 kids per household. Pay it yourself.
When I lived in Charleston, South Carolina for a time, soon after I arrived I learned that the white response to the forced segregation of public schools there had been simply to enroll their children in private schools. Public school enrollment there is nearly 100% black. And it was clear that such was also the case in most all the rest of the Southeast.
Frankly, in Michigan where I now live, the situation is entirely similar in Detroit and its suburbs. Remember that Betsy DeVos is here in Michigan, a billionaire who saw education as a way to make money, and that she was pushing for school vouchers and charter schools.
So, it's not just that they seek to have tax-funded vouchers pay for parents to enroll their children in private schools. It's that they want to diminish education for blacks -- as well as underprivileged whites, and anyone else underprivileged.
Ari is a true advocate for truth.
Thank you for bringing up the voucher mess. It is so important to realize it is welfare for the wealthy.
Welfare for the wealthy. I'll keep that in mind.
Except conservatives support welfare for the wealthy
As a special education teacher, the idea that they'd eliminate funding for disabled students is absolutely insane. It's cruelty for the sake of cruelty.
Taking opportunity away from everyone but the rich is the point. The GOP intends it to work that way.
They're simply just being hateful at this point. All American kids deserve a quality education no matter what they believe in or what neighborhood they're from.
They absolutely believe that also. It just hinges on who you consider American...
You're surprised?
Especially inner city schools
From Sweden here..NO NO dont do that!!..DONT make schools privat...we done that here and ITS A DISASTER!!..
In America, right-wing politicians see public education, and a well-educated population as a threat to their political viability. Educated voters statistically do not vote for right-wing populists. In states that right-wingers control, they have used school vouchers "school choice" to defund public schools. When a kids gets a voucher, they remove that funding from the public school. The ultimate goal is to eliminate public education entirely. But they cannot legally do that as long as there are federal laws ensuring public education is available, so they would have to abolish the Department of Education first.
The problem is when public schools are so underfunded that they no longer function, there aren't always private schools available, especially in rural areas. Then the right-wingers tell parents the solution is "homeschooling", which is a scam and most parents aren't able to or have the time to properly educate their children. Private schools have long waiting lists, and many kids don't even have access to school, ensuring a new generation of uneducated, easily-manipulatable voters, and more right-wing election results.
As an Australia... yep. It was a disaster here too.
You'd think the rest of the world would look at the evidence ... but of course they don't. Decisions aren't made on evidence, but on who is paying.
What bothers me is them saying disabled students should be on unsafe wheelchair access, and that public school students should serve in the military. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we eliminate the draft?
They're trying to bring it back. Smh.
The rich always want to send the poor to war. That's why President Carter pardoned the poor draft dodgers.
That is so disturbing.
We did eliminate the draft. And if it comes back, their kids might be sent to fight also. This way, we have a ready source of expendable troops without them risking their own children, who won't be in public school.
Good reporting and showing the hypocrisy that's associated with political parties and other institutions plus religious institutions as well😮😢.
That's why they poorly fund public schools. Teachers be fundraising. Paying money 💰 outta theur income for their classrooms. It's sickening.😢
This Project 2025 sounds like some kind of bizarre,weird,religious indoctrination program😮😮😮
You called it fah what it is 👍
So they want to discriminate against disabled kids and make sure they don't get a fair chance at education? WTAF. I know so many families that would be devastated by this.
I'm a mom of an 18 month old who is disabled and will likely need accommodations by the time he hits public school. I mean, maybe we'll end up homeschooling to keep him out of that environment but right now, he's served by disability funding that helps provide therapies in home. He was considered disabled by the SSA on the day of his birth. In all likelihood he will be a fully capable kiddo and adult but his health condition (heart) is considered so severe that he's default disabled. He will need accommodations. He will need help. He already does. These "people" are disgusting.
Because conservatives and capitalists attach value to people based on whether or not they work.
Their idea is
1. If you're unwilling to work
2. If you're not capable of working
3. If you need welfare or charity in order to survive
Then you are worthless and deserve poverty
Healthcare is a separate plan, it's just as scary. Probably farther down the line it gets really bad for anyone unable to pull their weight to contribute. Workhouses? Asylums? I agree, they are sick weirdos!
Hitler despised the disabled. He thought they were a drain on society. Even had some murdered after some "scientific" tests. Sounds like the "religious right" are above the Jesus they claim to worship.
Creating a caste system with oligarchs.
That's the goal
Why the heck would ANYONE ever consider reducing the federal funding for disabled students?! This is egregious!
I have been reading it. One line says abortion is not healthcare. SMH Anyone who practices medicine should be concerned when people with no medical training start telling us what is and what isn’t healthcare.
What I would like to know is how children will get educated when you take all that away....oh I know; put kids to work, in to institutions, or nothing??
Project 2025, has a breakdown on doing away with child labor laws. Republicans would like to keep POC, poor white folks & disabled in their place, hence (MAGA). It's not the American way.
Every vote counts, but can only be counted if you vote.
By picking crops and plucking chickens
Some states have already reduced the working age for children as well as the age of marriage. I think that the one that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is in charge of is one of several that has done that
@@RevCeleste yeah. She's the poster thing for product of ince5t
The point is to force poor people into minimum wage jobs and be wage slaves, so rich people can continue living their easy lives.
You have to be the worse kind of cruel to have a problem with children getting free school meals. Like, what is your damage to have a problem with that?
Dems do not want them to have food during school
The health of our buildings was a problem during covid-19. This Danger had a severe impact on children's education for 2 years. Destroying the Department of Education would be a self-inflicted natural disaster.
The Republican party has been decimating educational budgets for DECADES now. They also fight universal free breakfast and lunch programs, because they are very aware that hungry children don't learn. That's the point - it's easier to control a population if those citizens are poorly educated and do not possess critical thinking skills.
A good number of school districts got funding but didn't use that for protecting students and faculty.
Ummm. Art & music, custodians & cafeteria workers will be gone out of public education.... Too expensive.
I've heard some districts around the country are looking into how Japanese schools are run. The students clean up the rooms, scrub the desks & floors, take out the trash and bring their own food and eat it in the classrooms..... No more Cafeteria workers.....
Custodians and cafeteria workers are a major workforce in America.....
Specialist teachers too....
Hmmmm.....
Project 25 is only for the wealthy......
Is that you?
And white males
Elimination of Title 1 and Head Start is criminal.
And this is why Teachers leave the field in droves! Good luck to your children! Good luck to America.
I believe that teachers are leaving the field because they can't discipline their students. And kids often have cell phones in class, which is a huge distraction
@@gregorylyon1004this is so right!
My number one reason for leaving boiled down to overcrowding. A smaller class means it is FAR easier to work with those few who have behavior issues, or learning disabilities (or both). It's also much easier to spot the children who aren't being challenged and are losing interest. Cell phones can be managed. Poor behavior can be managed. Difficult parents can be worked with, but only if you haven't pushed every desk into the room that will physically fit.
@@mieander as a former educator I agree. While this Project 25 sounds like an evil thing to do, I completely understand the overcrowding issue. The teacher to student ratios are too much and we are passing along students that aren’t ready for the next grade level. As a result children fall behind tremendously and become frustrated and unmotivated to learn. A smaller group is ideal instead of crunching an overcrowded classroom with leaning content often they can’t apply. I also don’t think people realize the difficulty in having children with leaning disabilities in the same classroom as kids without. Some children need early intervention and one one one intervention and to be able to come back together with them. I don’t know
Someone I know that is a trump fan told me that she did not want her tax money to go to public schools. She home schooled.
Go figure.
Of course. She thinks that way people like her won’t be effected. But they don’t see that next they’ll change the curriculum that is required to be taught to homeschooled kids, & it WILL effect them & their futures. She’s probably okay with religious indoctrination anyway though, sooo… 😂
A friend complained to all of us one day that her grandchildren were so ignorant they just lived off their father. One did work. Their father is a corporate raider. Their mother "Home Schooled" them but really didn't bother.
Too bad for her. My kids are grown up and I still pay into the public schools
I have no children but I want children to be educated. Think about the future of this country. Your taxes don't pay for everything. Think about your taxes going to programs you approve of. Look at the state of the Repug House. They are being paid for nothing. I resent paying their salaries and benefits so I chose to think of my taxes going to education.
Mr. Velshi I and staff -- Thank you, and please keep spotlighting what Republican victory and implementation of this radical agenda will mean for our nation!
As an Arizonan i voted against the charter nonsense for this very reason. Only the rich will get the vouchers while public schools get next to nothing. We have enough uneducated kids already.
This educator reminds me of the many fine teachers I was blessed to have in elementary school in the 60's with a true passion and commitment to their profession.
So project 2025 looks at the disabled as second class citizen along with lgbtq+ is this the United States you want to live in, not me .
Well, when you leader talks about them with impunity, this is what happens
''Elon honey bunch. I want to dismantle the Department of Education.''
Donald Trump on X
No way....Way... I love the uneducated.
Betsy DeVos had a hand in this
I believe one of the big motivations for this is the better someone is educated, the more likely they are to lean left.
If they want me to quit my job & stop paying taxes, they could have just said so, instead of ruining the country and millions of people's futures..
Death Santis is now giving vouchers of $8k per child. That cost our small rural school system $2M so far per our School Board. Plus he is allowing ministers to volunteer to counsel children in public schools. I was told by a trained counselor a few years ago in a local public school that she was required to evaluate private school children for free when she felt that was taking time away from her own school's students.
Remember he said "the next republican president" so vote Trump out and the next gop candidate,
Over and over and over
It’s all of them. To alleviate this we need both house and senate.
I'm never voting Republican again
Australia is an example of this sort of policy in operation. The Conservative govt of John Howard (called the Liberal govt. I know, it's weird) in the 1990s decided to divert public school funding to private schools, with the lie of "it will increase choice for parents". What happened was we saw an explosion in the establishment of religious schools, and the established private schools, educating the children of the rich, increased their building programs while raising their fees. Decades later we have the situation that 70% of children are in public schools which do not have the funds to replace 40 year old carpet or leaking gas heating systems while private schools are building their third swimming pools. The majority of children with disabilities are in the public system and the lack of funding impacts them greatly. The "structure" is that the majority of federal funding goes to private schools while the states are responsible for funding public schools. Only one territory has fully funded public schools - the Australian Capital Territory. All other states and territories have chronically underfunded public schools. Successive governments have refused to address the problems created by the Howard govt, and every time there's a conservative govt the situation gets worse, coupled with ideological attacks on teachers and teaching programs. But bad as things are here, Project 2025 looks like it will make your system even worse, particularly as you seem to be coming off a lower base line to begin with.
I went to a private Catholic school in the USA and my parents had to pay because they got no government money, so why now?
The department of education does nothing since its establishment, the quality of of education in the united states has gone radically downhill.This is irrefutable
If they can afford private school, they should be ineligible for those vouchers. Why is family income not a part of the voucher application process?
I don't know
@@scifirealism5943 Seems to me like that part would be important.

Dismantle public schools, then send everyone to private schools on the government dime... Hard pass.
