- The Department of Education has been a colossal failure, plagued by inefficiency, waste, and an inability to achieve academic success for American children. President Trump campaigned on shutting the Department of Education down, and here's a roadmap on how Congress can actually get that job done.
Twenty years ago I would have said No but today and over the last two decades with all the Craziness and Absurdities I have to say go right ahead Let parents prioritize and focus on what they need to do to insure their children have the education and skills they need.
I was right there with you. I hope we learn our lesson and I hope our future citizens learn the lesson also. That lesson is, when the government tries to sell you something and you think it's benevolent or benign it never is. Even 50 years ago the department of education was a piece of shit teaching kids about six education. They had no right to talk about that outside of the home.
You were wrong then but better late than never
Education should be put back in the hands of the parents. Not some government agency. Not crazy about putting it in the hands of the states either. They have too much control already. The parents should be in control. When I was a kid in the Sixties we had the PTA. My mom was able to sit in my 3rd grade class.
@ The parents are in control just put in the effort. You people act like the state or the govt is taking away your kids. No, most are just lazy.
I agree. Laziness is pushing your kids to public school instead of homeschooling
End the teachers union and tenure
Fact check: TRUE ✔️☑️✅️
Amen
Department of education is ridiculous and should be dissolved
It needs to go away. FOREVER!
It will be back. I remember hearing that some of the dismantled departments will restart in a new structure. It’s a matter of when they will restart and which ones.
It’s just glorious, one day after the next, a dream come true, eliminating these corrupted programs. Thank you Lord.
"I haven't seen Democrats cry this hard since yesterday!"
Just yesterday I was looking at the website for a local middle school. This school sits on the corner of an upper middle class neighborhood and across a smaller street from an uberwealthy neighborhood of $10M+ homes, so, not exactly the projects. The website was bragging on the fact that 52% of their students were either at or above grade level expectations... and are considered one of the top 5 in the district. WHAT THE HECK?? That means nearly half the school id deficient in their math skills... HALF!! The Gen Z crowd is beginning to show us just how ignorant and uneducated they are, and looks like Gen Alpha isn't doing any better.
What part of the bottom half are illegals or shipped in?
As Gen X, it's astounding to have watched public education decline like it has. Now, kids graduate high school with the vocab of 12 year olds and can't do simple addition or subtraction. They are more worried about genders and unicorns.
The teacher’s union is evil.
All government employee labor unions should be illegal. Who are they organizing against? The taxpayers
@CoelhoSports Well stated !
"You're fired"
Yes. And End the Fed. And the IRS. And the divorce machine
Department of (destruction) closed.. 💯👏🙏🇺🇸🗽
The best solution is to abolish the department then redirect its funding to fully refundable tax credits for parents.
Absolutely brilliant!
This clip against the department of education is very well stated and informative
I feel so bad for these kids
I feel bad for the future of America
Our state school system is great
These kids are graduating and destroying every major brand and icon in America. There's going to be nothing left.
Why?
@mikesteele9431 because they are horribly abused by these sexually confused teachers who use their position to tell the child his/her youthful sexual curiosities are permanent traits and causes to celebrate. The kid is marked/outed/identified for life and told to celebrate it. It would be like being adopted by Rosey O'Donnell.
Very very nice!!! I approve!!! Shut it down!!!!
66% literacy rate (1/3rd illiterate) is CRAZY. It's like we're falling back in time.
Get rid of it!
Great.
We have a Constitution. And a federal role in education is not authorized, nor legal.
Excellent
I support this with one caveat, special education students need more protections. It's easier for a school district to funnel the kids into the school to jail pipeline (a real thing), or push disabled kids, who would otherwise be able to work as adults into group homes and SSI. My kid works in the trades and is really good at what he does but I had to fight hard and often got into trouble with the school district. Not all kids who receive special education will be able to work, they still deserve dignity and the ability to maximize their achievement.
Get rid of it and create more charter schools.
Afuera!
i'm dreamin.
yes, each state can run its school system.
🙄You people are hopeless. PRIVATE EDUCATION!
I was thrown out of school the day after my 18th birthday. I had severe panic attacks and depression due to home troubles. The school didn’t care and due to missed classes threw me out. I went and got my GED and went to trade school. I’ll never forget how cruel the principal and other administrators treated me. Some teachers who found out were angry at them for not allowing me to graduate. I have harbored anger due to their lack of empathy and kicking a teen girl while she was down. Forgiveness is hard but it’s the only way I can free myself of the painful past. I’m now 36 and live alone and disabled after a failed unaliving attempt at 28. The way children and teens are treated dictates the rest of their lives which can either positively or negatively impact their community and their families. I regret allowing depression to lead me to such despair. One thing after another. My heart breaks for children today. They need stability and they need love. They don’t need to be told there’s multiple genders and they may be in the wrong body. That’s unbelievably evil. The less choices they have the safer they feel. One toy entertains for hours. Multiple toys cause meltdowns. Make life as simple and predictable as possible. I hope to see more families able to have stay at home parents for homeschooling. I know financially it’s not always possible but I know that it’s the best option for all involved. If I had married with children I’d love to be at home with them watching them learn and grow. Life’s the most precious gift. God bless you all my fellow American friends ❤
Can it just another money sucking machine
This is not the time nor the environment. A significantly more well thought thought out plan and less emotional irrational concept reaction
🎉🎉🎉 great!
The Department of Education is completely unnecessary. Push all that money back to the States and local districts where school choice can be implemented.
No, there IS an argument for keeping it. It sounds like REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Govt should get out of the student loan business not just shift it to another dept
Homeschool. Make families pool their funds, hire a grad student and take direct responsibility for compliance with state education mandates.
Presumably not American graduates
Yeah, like that would work!😂😂 The wealthy would hire all the good private tutors, the middle class would pay for private school and the lower classes would be illiterate. Welcome back to the 1800s!
Take the money and pay the home schooled kids to pass tests. You would be surprised how motivated poor people are by money. Also, with khan academy and online resources, tutors will not be the most efficient use of money, as being a tutor requires not just academic credentials but teaching talent. Motivated stable parents and nuclear families will play a much bigger role in the success of kids than wealth.
@@CoelhoSports Who said anything about tutors? Teach the kids critical thinking skills to teach themselves. Teach them to hack. Kids do need supervision and a safe environment--that is what the grad student is for. I would defer to the latest LLM chatbot that respects full attribution and the "genealogy of truth", to do the actual teaching, so kids can appreciate how to show their work to demonstrate authorship and enable reproducibility of results. Then I would have the students participate in local to global scale hackathons that address climate change event mitigation, by leveraging statistical mechanics to model natural systems and quantum machines to evaluate. Start with qiskit and python on an Android tablet running termux (Linux distro). Let local businesses provide prizes to incentivize participation. You really do not appreciate who you are talking to. I am a loser here on TH-cam, so frustrated that I cannot share any of my ideas with anyone in defense of my country.
@@3namechangezalowdevry90day7 Have you heard of Large Language Models or LLMs that enable anyone to create an A.I. chatbot from their own corpus of expertise? Have you heard of Chat GPT? Agentic A.I.? Have you heard of DeepSeek? You really don't get it, do you? There are new paradigms for A.I. coming out every few weeks that empower all. Chatbot derivatives can teach. They can talk. They can read. They can see. They can hold their own in a conversation. They can engage their student subjects in real time. Right now, all you need is a grad student to engineer prompts that would enable a custom acquisition of subject matter to be mastered by your child. Eventually you will not need that. Experts will contribute to a protocol wiki to share such chatbot prompting recipes. Please, I beg you to get out more!
Yes, just git rid of it and let the states handle education.
Education should be left to the states not DC.
0:22 You're thinking of the department of defense, most expensive failure of all.
Just got into a fight with a freind, she worries that if we shut down the department of education then there will be kids who will fall through the cracks.
I asked her why she was focused on less than 1% who will be lost vs EVER child current and the future who is being harmed by this system.
She couldn't answer just kept saying why a FEW kids would hurt if the education department was gone.
End the department of education. And maybe even the teachers unions.
Who funds the poor schools without federal money? People are so cheap they don't want to pay property taxes!
We educated kids for a long time long, long before tax. Your argument is a Marxist red herring.
No, I don't think that's it. People want a positive return on their tax dollars. If students are not learning to read, write, and do math, then it stands to reason that the Department of Education isn't doing what we're paying for. JMHO
@ElaineWood-f2t I've seen these very people in the comment sections of tax-related videos. they want an END to property taxes AND income taxes. They want to end public education and have schools be supported by "user fees". They DON'T ANSWER when I ask what happens to the kids whose parents can't pay.
If people don't get the concept of "bad to worse" they need educating.
Please shut it down!
Why won’t government and education reevaluate their ideas and change them if they don’t work? There is no shame in saying we were wrong; let’s do something else.
How will shutting down the department of education make anything better?
It will save money. It will ‘let’ states decide on their own rules. It will kneecap the union so that education will be more important than pensions or administrators.
@@matthewjohnson320 what's wrong with pensions and administrators? Shouldn't teachers be paid fairly? I think teachers should be paid VERY well. It's the most important job in the world. And if states decide their own rules, given what we're seeing under Trump, will states be able to teach that H1tler was a good man? And erase America's history as they see fit?
Thank You Lord! For hearing our cry! For hearing a nation in despair and the cry of all of us that suffer the almost iron fist of these bureaucratic government with the so called democracy, to keep us enslaved. Protect President Trump and all that work close to him.
I hope that the desolutiom of this department also impacts school lunches and makes them better. Our kids shouldn't be fed on a budget that makes them eat the same food as prisoners
Who will fund these "better lunches"? The public complains they shouldn't have to pay property tax if they have no school age kids!
THF please make more such great short videos (like Prager University), but not too short. Recommended length 3-6 minutes depending on subject.
That's an easy job... just use an internet archive to find out who out pronouns in their website bios. Those who did? Sayonara, and don't let the door hit on your way out. Boom, problem solved.
Black boxes, ukraine, and rainbow flags: afuera!
My Bachelor's Degree was a scam...
The reason Present Trump was elected is to get rid of the bruises of the left be broken.
I don’t understand some people why not just give the states the funding needed for schools in a big fat pay check. Maybe the treasury or other government agency on domestic funding can do this. You have more money to give, because you aren’t paying for the extra employees and maintenue of that department and states can better target where each part of the fund should go. It’s just common sense.
Good video.
Get rid of the obnoxious background music please.
GREAT! How about posting this on your Facebook page so it's more likely to go viral?
Almost no one watches TH-cam videos reposted on FB.
Yay!!!!!
to be fair, the increased illiteracy rates are due to an increase in the black and brown population, not due to failure of institutions.
Nonsense.
Department of Education only in state level🤔best remedy
At the very least, DOE needs a completely fresh start that would include greatly limiting their power.
What I wouldn’t mind seeing is that they keep some federal funding for public and private schools that can really prove they need it and aren’t politically indoctrinating students.
I also wouldn’t mind if they dedicate some money to standing up good cafeterias that provide 2 homemade meals to students. It’s obvious America’s weak, lazy, and stupid millenial parents aren’t taking care of their children nutritional needs. No I don’t want a michelle obama 2.0 but something way better.
Yes
They have no receipts on success
We can put all that money in the department of total health care control and compliance. /s
I do not even agree with a state Department of Education. If we have children, we should care for them. If we intentionally neglect our children, they should become wards of the state.....and Foster Parents can homeschool. Foster Parenting should be rigorous to apply, but paid very well.
For the truly poor, but not intentionally neglectful parents, they can send their child to a charitable church school....which used to exist before government money got involved.
And before you say it cannot happen....we have 8 children on poverty level income. We have never accepted ANY form of government assistance and we pay our bills. We may not have fancy vacations and nice cars, but we budget and go to the zoo, parks, and other fun places. None of us feel poor. Others who make more than us seem more miserable and have less, blowing their money on cable TV and eating out frequently. Our children read grade levels ahead, can socialize with peers and adults, know how to function in the real world, and will be a giver to society as opposed to a leech.
Give education back to the parents. If I am not qualified to teach my child the same information that I received a diploma for, the school system failed worse than I did. I would not send my children to a failing system that can not teach me to regurgitate what I was "taught."
What good have they done though?
Kids learn more from Wikipedia. The “Dept of Education” should just be a US gov’t editor account on Wikipedia, maybe a quiz/test app.
Government is the problem, not the solution
Cut the background noise. Not everyone has perfect hearing.
Oh please let this happen!!!!
Send the money to the states , take computers out the classes, except for enrichment classes .k-8
The money is the disease, not the cure.
ABSOLUTELY
That's why sooo many private schools exist primary and secondary sad
Not everyone can afford them.
Exactly @@johnedelmann6711
I realize there is bias here. It is just too much to keep listening to. It feels like a propaganda fever dream.
YES!!!!
Where's Nancy? LOL
0:40 1 in 3 8th Graders *is. Not are
Should we not be using plurals when talking about ratios?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Geez. Correlation rather than causation for why students are doing so poorly. Divorce rates are higher, as are unmarried parents raising kids, often with various dads. Obesity and chronic disease is higher amongst kids (~50% of poverty-line kids are overweight/obese). Americans now get most of their diet from processed foods. TV, video games, computers, and cell phones can be accessed 24/7 and are designed to be addictive. Maybe there are other factors affecting achievement. Yes, the federal government has grown too large and put ridiculous requirements on schools that have hurt education. I have not heard enough incisiveness on what should stay and what should go; it's just tear it all down!
It's funny that conservatives are declaring that now is the time to shut down the Dept of Ed, when Republicans grew it massively with NCLB. Yes, Obama followed up with his own monstrosities. This looks like an elite bipartisan agenda to ruin education. For what purpose? Who benefits? Sure as hell, ain't the American people.
Why should student loans be shifted to the Treasury? What problems will that introduce? That is dissolving barriers to the Treasury that should not be breached.
Me thnk me adjamacation is well.
Do you support resegregation, because people are saying that's what opposition to DEI really is code for.
I don't know why I'm on a Heritage Foundation video, but I want to respond to your comment.
Schools are often already almost segregated because their neighborhoods are. It's quite sad. More integration would be great.
you should avoid those people 😛 segregate yourself from them, if you like
I thought we voted for trump! Not this think tank! We didn't vote for a You people
Like #777 😎
Ah yes, we are already in last place why even finish the race.
Absolve the Department of Education.
Get rid of it!
