What' Happening Here? What Are Their Goals?

I think one thing that has Trump and the Republicans scared is public schools. Why? Because they are integrated! Their little White Christians children are being mixed in with... with minorities! They might begin to think of them as human. I came across this article in the New York Times...

1. After looking closely at the graph above (or at this full-size image), answer these four questions:

What do you notice?

What do you wonder?

How does this relate to you and your community?

Create a catchy headline that captures the graph’s main idea.

The questions are intended to build on one another, so try to answer them in order.

What I noticed was that younger people who are growing up in an integrated environment are more likely to accept people who are different from themselves (Is this why Republicans hate public schools?). While my generation, who were out on the streets during the Vietnam war, who brought down the Nixon administration and now are hording their wealth and complaining about the young radical left. 

Why do they want to close the Department of Education?

Could it be because they are worried over integration? Is this away to get school voucher programs to cut funding to public schools, states can funnel the federal moneys in to religious and private schools that discriminant? Is this away to allow public schools to teach only 'Reading, 'Riting, and "Rithmatic?

But the momentum in favor of universal choice in recent years has all happened at the state level. And education is a policy area governed mostly at the state and local levels, with the federal government typically supplying less than 10 percent of education funding nationally.

Now it is becoming national with the demises of the DoED.

While the Project 2025 proposals would radically change the nature of Title I and IDEA, the agenda still doesn’t lay out a specific proposal for a federal, universal school choice program.

And the proposals it does put forward are far-fetched and would require unified Republican control of the federal government to realize, said Douglas Harris, director of the Center for Research on Education Access and Choice at Tulane University.

Which they now have! With their trifecta!

“From decades of research, we know that access to high-quality schools is unequal, and it varies by race, by social class,” she said. “Any policy that is universal will likely just reproduce those inequities or exacerbate them.”

Private schools also aren’t held to the same anti-discrimination laws as public schools, which cannot deny students admission based on gender, race, or disability status.

It’s hard to believe that proponents of a federal universal school choice policy would push for such an anti-discrimination provision, Jabbar said.

Research has shown the education is the best way for minorities to get ahead! The American Council on Education (ACE) writes...

The destruction of public schools is racism disgusted as education reform, pure and simple!
