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.

Yeah but the answer is not homeschooling or private Christian Madrassas for everyone, which is what 'they' want.

this is what irks me about the whole "make America great again"...

when was it greater than it is right now?

it's our system of laws and regulations that makes for a very stable, mostly corruption free environment in which innovation and business can thrive

 

Bill Maher recently said, ....."there's has never been a better time to be a black American trying to get into College than right now."

That's what the Maga Movement  has been fighting against.  Trumpists insist we have white guilt or TDS, but how can you deny it ? 

They're already sanitizing history.

The old guard from the Bush/Romney/Mccain days has been kicked to the corner about everywhere. 

 

And you took on Trump as your leader

Dear Lord.

Mahers' takes are a complete 180 from that right now.  He's been angling for a Fox News / Newsmax contract once his HBO contract is not renewed, just like Dennis Miller did about 25 years ago.  

He knows where the money is, and it's the MAGAt song and dance grift.  And he's completely alienated his previous audience.

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?

We've actually made steady measurable gains internally and compared to our peers since the DOE was created.

Trump has made the endless grift politically sexy.

I saw Maher say that in a clip last week and it probably was not super recent.

I should correct him though, there was never a better time for Blacks to attend College before Trump's anti DEI bullshit.
