@Nonilex In the after-times, many will try to lay all blame on trump for the destruction of our society. I will always remind that #GOP is complicit.

The move was described by 3 people ahead of the announcement. 2 of these people said 6 offices within the dept would be shifted elsewhere; the 3rd person said it was at least 2.
#Trump signed an EO in March seeking to close the dept & asked #Education Secy Linda McMahon to work with #Congress to do so. The agency, which was created in 1979, has long been derided by conservatives as unnecessary & ineffective. But Congress has not acted on or seriously considered Trump’s request.#law

McMahon has acknowledged that only #Congress can eliminate the dept but vowed to do everything in her power to dismantle it from within.An #Education Dept spox did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
Supporters of the dept say that the agency is effective in coordinating multiple aspects of education in one place & keeping priorities important to #students, #parents & #schools high on the federal agenda.#Trump #law #SeparationOfPowers #FederalFunding #PublicSchools

Federal #law directs that these programs be housed in the #Education Dept. The #Trump admin is employing a work-around, the people briefed on the matter said, whereby other government agencies would run the Education programs under a contract with the Education Dept. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the changes.#Congress #SeparationOfPowers #FederalFunding #PublicSchools

The #Trump admin laid the groundwork for this change earlier this year when it signed an agreement to move career, technical & adult education grants out of the #Education Dept to the #Labor Dept. Under the arrangement, Education retains oversight & leadership while managing the programs alongside Labor, a way of sidestepping the federal #statute.#law #Congress #SeparationOfPowers #FederalFunding #PublicSchools

@Nonilex they do that in purpose. I mean, make poor people's children less educated that their own children is the best way to make their children can continue to have the power. They don't care about the éducation of people. They care about themself and own keep the power.The plan is clear now (or the risk). Keep people poor and create something that "keep everyone at the same place" to be able to say it is normal, logical, in the genes... USA is a nightmare.

@Nonilex Seem inconsistent with playing catch up with China in so many sectors.Education seem prerequisite to staying an advanced economy.

@Nonilex I think they know that a lower education population will have more difficulty with self organizing. So supports the aim of control only from the despot.
