Space Development Agency launches study on Trump’s Iron Dome order
In a notice Wednesday, the agency said it is conducting a study that looks at how its architecture could be expanded as part of the Iron Dome order.www.defensenews.com
Most of what makes MAGA hate the Dept of Education is rooted in lies about what they do

I'm just some old guy on a message board, but even I can see that social media's popularity as a news source has grown due to its willingness to feed you only what you want to hear, and not because of its integrity and factual reporting. If the the level of news shopping around here, on a message board full of college educated adults (very doubtful, btw) is any indication, then the general public doesn't stand a chance, and couldn't discern a factual story from a hole in the ground.
I would suggest that part of the problem could be traced to teachers who feel it's okay to spend a large % of their days on message boards as opposed to actually doing their jobs.
That's not any different than traditional news sources. The difference is there are no longer a half dozen gatekeepers who dictate what's "acceptable news". There are now 1000s of sources people can choose to listen to or ignore. The good ones rise to top. There are some negative trade offs, but overall it's a much better alternative. I disagree on the future. It's bright and decentralized.
Bottom line is the DOE is a failed institution. Give vouchers to parents so they can choose the best schools for their kids. Let the parents be the DOE.
The problem is the "good ones" are the those most dedicated to the mission of delivering red meat propaganda.I kid, I kid.

And no money for private/parochial/church based schools...sorry.
That's wicked expensive, if you want to keep the lights on in the public schools while people opt for (and we pay for) the snake handler curriculum
Snake handler curriculum? You’d have had crt in every course from day one
The goal is not to preserve public education. It is to get the best education for our children. I would argue that overall it will be cheaper because you give the money directly to parents and therefore don't have all the government bureaucracy.
This already exists in Indiana. DOE has nothing to do with it.
95% of the people I follow aren’t political and a lot of them are good. I purposely don’t follow Walsh, Shapiro, The Pos dude, and etc. because I don’t care to constantly read that stuff. People digest what they want to digest. I do think people on average are more informed today than 20 years ago. I think the issue is the addictiveness of all of it and how accessible it is, which leads to more anger and less happiness for people.
We’ve kept our college teammates chat together in one form or another for 25 years. This last month plus it’s starting to break down bc of politics. People do follow more. For better and worse
If your opening up school choice, how are you going to decide who gets to go to what school? First come, first serve won't work. We don't want parents "donating" to a school to make sure their kid get in. A legacy just continues status quo.
Put all who want in a school in a lottery and let the chips fall how they may.
And vouchers have to cover full cost of transportation to new school.
Well that too. School voucher systems are decided by the states. Not the feds. These guys keep unknowingly arguing for more federal regulations.
So if I live 3 miles from a public school and I'm fed up with them because they discuss Michelangelo's David in art class (PORN!),
I can get taxpayers to fully pay for bussing my kid to a school 25 miles away that hangs the 10 Commandments on the wall and teaches that Adam and Eve had pet dinosaurs?
Cool!
Tell them to knock it off and find a random message board to get their frustrations out. I know a place🤣
Many of us believe our educational system has failed us and puts the blame on the Department of Education.
The irony of this is that the progress, or lack of it, comes through the "Nation's Report Card" as conducted by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) which is funded by Congress and administered by the Department of Education with states and localities being responsible for actually teaching our children.
This article about NAEP in part states the following...
America’s most important testing program is one that most people have never heard of. It’s not the SAT, the ACT, Advanced Placement, the Armed Forces Qualification Test, the annual state assessments required by federal law, much less the contentious entry tests employed by selective high schools such as Stuyvesant and Boston Latin.
Nope. Those are all widely used, hotly debated, and much in the news of late, but they’re far from most important. Topping the list of what really matters is the National Assessment of Educational Progress, aka “the Nation’s Report Card” and widely referred to simply as “NAEP.”

Hold on here.
I've been told it only makes common sense to elect people who are smart or rich, or preferably both.
By the way, the highly educated elites just think they are smart.
It's already a law. We don't need another government bureaucracy to enforce a law.

The correlation is real. You're thinking of causation, which I never claimed, but an argument could certainly be made for it.
You really don't understand why or how this country was set up. States have power not authorized to the federal government under the Constitution.
Just saw a funny instagram. This fat dad home from work in bad dockers and a shirt tucked in playing horse with older teenage kids. The dad goes “let’s start with an Adrian dantley fade away”
Comments are hilarious.
When he said Adrian dantley they should have known it was over
Pop was a problem in his day.
Did all that in dockers
Adrian dantley. They already on S
Work dockers. Didn’t even go inside. Straight from work
OECD: expenditure per student on education 2020 | Statista
Out of the OECD countries, Luxembourg was the country that spent the most on educational institutions per full-time student in 2020.

I'm fine with transferring those responsibilities to another department. Just have a plan in place for that before going in like a wrecking ball.
Point is moot. Sounds like Trump is already back tracking on the department of Ed stuff.
Yes.... If under a certain income limit. But the limit is pretty high and something like 95% of households qualify. It's been expanded significantly in recent years.
Also, that relevant law has implementing regulations. That law requires those implementing regulations. Who do you think is responsible for those implementing regulations? Who do you think enforces those implementing regulations? Who do you think provides the necessary guidance to schools so that they can comply with those regulations? Who do you think informs parents of their rights under the pertinent law?
I took my son to a job interview the other day, at a well-known restaurant chain. Without that relevant law and the federal agency behind it he would not be where he is today.
Spent a day with a friend and his "special education" high school students.
Came home thinking about how each of them could be productive and self sufficient, but had the feeling some would get lost in the shuffle.
lol So we only come in second to Luxembourg. As I thought, you were making shit up.OECD: expenditure per student on education 2020 | Statista

Whatever law the Dept of Education is enforcing.
You're not saying they're endorcing something that's not a law, are you?
