SharkTanked Posted March 6 Posted March 6 https://apnews.com/live/trump-presidency-updates-3-6-2025#00000195-6ca9-d1b6-a3f7-6ffbbaf50000 Citing DEI, Trump cut teacher training grants that helped rural schools By ANNIE MA The cuts to teacher training grants are putting a strain on rural school systems, which have relied on the money to help address teacher shortages. In an overhaul at an agency Trump has described as being infiltrated by “radicals, zealots and Marxists,” the Education Department last month cut $600 million in grants to the training programs, which it characterized as supporting divisive ideologies. Trump has said he wants to close the department, and new Education Secretary Linda McMahon has laid out how it could be dismantled. Federal money makes up a significant portion of budgets in some rural districts, which rely more on grants and philanthropy because of their limited tax base, said Sharon Contreras, CEO of the Innovation Project, a collaboration among North Carolina school districts. A grant to that group supported teacher recruitment and retention, providing scholarships for teachers pursuing master’s degrees if they agreed to return to the area and serve as principals for three years.

SleepingGiantFan Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Maybe I'm naive about this topic but it seems as though very little bad will come from shuttering the Dept of Ed. One of the biggest problems our great country has is the mediocrity and wokeness of public education and IIRC, it started going to shit about the same time as the DOEd was created in October 1979. It could be that is entirely coincidental and I think things like a huge increase in the proportion of immigrants with poor education of their own had a lot to do with it but just what has the DOEd done to curtail public schools' downfall? 1 1 1 Quote

I’d actually like our country to completely rethink education and make data-backed pragmatic decisions. What we do today is not beneficial to raising the next generation to be globally competitive. 4 1 Quote

Apply the rest to the national debt. Idaho would probably see more in federal education funding than having it filtered through 7,000 layers of bureaucracy., That won't happen. The Oligarchs will pocket the savings. 1 Quote

Yet, we cheer the de-liberalizing of our education system. Because of feared Liberalism. We cheer, support, and fund private religious Institutes to groom our future leaders cause "they're taking Christmas away from us." The propagandized fear of Liberalism has driven us into the welcoming arms of authoritarianism. "The road to totalitarianism is paved with good intentions." And people telling us we have TDS. Quote
