Most of what makes MAGA hate the Dept of Education is rooted in lies about what they do

[outside shooter]

I'm all for actual accounting audits (though a trained person like stollcpa would be better at that than Elon's HS hackers) and stamping out fraud and waste

But there are a lot of misconceptions about the Department and an imagined focus on wokeness. I guess what many consider to be woke are enforcing compliance with things like Title 9.

What the Department of Education does do and what it doesn’t do

It does:
1) Enforce existing federal laws, such as Title IX (sex discrimination), Title VI (race), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
2) Ensures disbursement of some specific programmatic funds to public schools, such as special ed programs, programs to support Title 1 (raising educational metrics in low-income communities), programs to teach English to non-native speakers, Pell grants for college students
3) Fights scam institutions, such as Trump University, that take your money in return for next to nothing, fights fraud and any Constitutional rights violations, such as barring access to college housing based on race
4) Supports modernization of teaching methods, such as access to computers
5) Supports STEM programs to increase scientific literacy
6) Oversees student loan programs, payment plans, loan relief plans (none absolving you of all debt)

#6 troubles some people, and I can see that. I see no issues with roles 1-5, as long as funds are not being skimmed by anybody in the process.

What the Department of Education doesn't do:
1) Doesn’t decide curriculum or otherwise dictate what is taught, such as Common Core, or even Evolution as a foundational principle of biology
2) Doesn’t pick textbooks or library books
3) Doesn’t set standards other than to identify any programs that violate Federal laws (such as a class for only students of one race)
4) Doesn’t “run” any public school, which are managed by local and state governments, alone
5) Doesn’t hire or fire teachers, set salaries, set qualifications, or enforce preferred ideologies of teaching candidates. This is SOLELY up to states, communities, and school boards
6) Doesn’t provide any oversight over private schools, other than to enforce Federal law, such as sex or race discrimination
7) Doesn’t set or regulate tuition and fees for any institution at any level

It would seem that the main beef is that they are geared to law-and-order issues, mostly, and MAGA just can have rule of law, if a wannabe dictator disagrees with said laws.

They special education portion is terrifying to me for personal reasons. I can't afford private school for my kids. I live close to Michigan though and I know that state wouldn't end Special education programs. Indiana I'm not so sure about...

Some are good, some are bad, some are in the middle

The Department being discussed has little-to-nothing to do with that, unless you are unhappy about being unable to do something violating laws passed by Congress

What your schools spend, what they teach, what they put in the library, what textbooks they use, and what teachers they hire and fire all is set at local and state levels, not Federal.

This informative thread seems to be something that you NEED.

No. Conservatives are for a smaller Federal government. States can decide how they handle education.

Those two things you want to pin on Treasury are so wildly outside their purview.

This is the problem with Musk's corporate take on all this. The goal is always to create new efficiencies. Reduce redundancies. But in practice, what this means is you lay off Person A and then ask Person B to do A's job moving forward. Only, B isn't equipped to do A's job, so you end up hiring outside firm C to fill the gap, or the job just doesn't get done.

I am sure Treasury can handle 50 or so block grant direct deposits. As for student loans, going back to private institutions takes it off the Treasury.

I am guessing you have never owned a business. Not run a department or a division or region or manage a budget. But own a business where your livelihood is on the line, where your house can be lost. When you experience that level of uncertainty and fear, you understand that finding cost savings through efficiencies are critical to your success. Musk, who is 100x smarter than anyone on this forum, understands this fact. Most people don't.

First rule any auditor starts with is you getting an understanding of the business you are auditing. An initial engagement typically lasts several months before you even begin to look at actual numbers.

What's going on here has nothing to do with auditing anything, only someone totally clueless would actually believe that. This is simply an ideological purge.

Has there been a single report released about anything? It's a bunch of random tweets with no supporting evidence.

$50m in condoms for Gaza! Oh whoops wasn't for Gaza it was AIDS prevention in Africa. But we put in on X so look over there! Shiny things for simpletons! Must be true! Doesn't stop the WH Press Sec from repeating it.

I'm all for actual accounting audits (though a trained person like stollcpa would be better at that than Elon's HS hackers) and stamping out fraud and waste

But there are a lot of misconceptions about the Department and an imagined focus on wokeness. I guess what many consider to be woke are enforcing compliance with things like Title 9.

What the Department of Education does do and what it doesn’t do

It does:
1) Enforce existing federal laws, such as Title IX (sex discrimination), Title VI (race), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
2) Ensures disbursement of some specific programmatic funds to public schools, such as special ed programs, programs to support Title 1 (raising educational metrics in low-income communities), programs to teach English to non-native speakers, Pell grants for college students
3) Fights scam institutions, such as Trump University, that take your money in return for next to nothing, fights fraud and any Constitutional rights violations, such as barring access to college housing based on race
4) Supports modernization of teaching methods, such as access to computers
5) Supports STEM programs to increase scientific literacy
6) Oversees student loan programs, payment plans, loan relief plans (none absolving you of all debt)

#6 troubles some people, and I can see that. I see no issues with roles 1-5, as long as funds are not being skimmed by anybody in the process.

What the Department of Education doesn't do:
1) Doesn’t decide curriculum or otherwise dictate what is taught, such as Common Core, or even Evolution as a foundational principle of biology
2) Doesn’t pick textbooks or library books
3) Doesn’t set standards other than to identify any programs that violate Federal laws (such as a class for only students of one race)
4) Doesn’t “run” any public school, which are managed by local and state governments, alone
5) Doesn’t hire or fire teachers, set salaries, set qualifications, or enforce preferred ideologies of teaching candidates. This is SOLELY up to states, communities, and school boards
6) Doesn’t provide any oversight over private schools, other than to enforce Federal law, such as sex or race discrimination
7) Doesn’t set or regulate tuition and fees for any institution at any level

It would seem that the main beef is that they are geared to law-and-order issues, mostly, and MAGA just can have rule of law, if a wannabe dictator disagrees with said laws.

We spend more dollars per student than any other country. What has it gotten us?
