The nation's educational landscape faces a potential transformation as Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House with ambitious plans for systemic changes. According to ABC News, Trump's Agenda47 campaign outlines comprehensive reforms, including the elimination of the Department of Education, implementation of nationwide school choice, and significant changes to curriculum content. The proposed changes would affect multiple aspects of America's educational system, from kindergarten through higher education. Trump's vision encompasses major shifts in federal oversight, teacher certification, and curriculum standards. The plan represents a fundamental reimagining of how education is delivered and managed across the United States.

Comments:

Encouraging, hopeful good news for parents. ~~ “The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” (Abraham Lincoln) “To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.” (Theodore Roosevelt) “The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.” (C. S. Lewis)

Here is a challenge for the readers. Name any educational function that requires a massive federal organization to manage it. Or one that could not be managed more efficiently and at less cost by state and local governments.

When I was a kid Mom used to say the southern schools were at least a year behind the northern ones. Now all of them are behind Chad and Niger. Better to go back to the 60's.

Getting rid of the department of education is just the beginning. Let the local governments allocate their funds for education instead of sending it to D.C. and creating more government jobs that have done nothing to REALLY educate children in subjects that matter.

The Federal government really needs to get out of the college loan business. Obama had the feds take it over from the private sector and we saw what happened (booming admission to students who would have not normally gone to college, massive increase in endowments and cash, etc etc). Colleges with endowments over say 100 million can loan their own money out to students they admit, since they are so sure of the ability of those students. Then those colleges can decide whether or not to cancel THEIR OWN students' loans. They can also be open to lawsuits if they are unable to give the students the education those students signed up for.

Dump the Department of Education, it has a track record of failure. Let the states handle their education needs. If the schools in the blue states want to continue their indoctrination, so be it. That is their problem.

1) Break the "Education-Publishing Complex" - simply adopt textbooks from 1958 in Math, Science, English, history, etc. and make them all FREE to the public on DVD/USB/over the Internet. Wanna make college more affordable? 2) Require all Universities taking Federal monies to make ALL basic subjects' textbooks, similarly, based on public domain information and available FREE to students enrolled in those courses.

Suggestions for Trump: 1. Delete ALL Teachers Unions, Put Union Thugs in Prison, I'm sure there is evidence of CRIMES! 2. ANY teacher, administrator or ANYONE on any School Board that attempts to Indoctrinate children in any way GOES TO PRISON for 50 YEARS! 3. Vouchers for all children, and the MONEY FOLLOWS THEM. 4. Any lawyer that files any lawsuits against any of this should be permanently Disbarred! Any more Ideas?

If you remain unsure about the pre-eminent issue of life, as one shepherd, I implore you to finally face the truth that life is sacred from conception to natural death. Abortion is the violent murder of unborn children. No exceptions. As Catholics in this nation, we must stand for life, even if bishops aren’t strong or even contradict this truth. Our nation depends on it. The silence of the shepherds will not be pardoned, nor will the complicity of the sheep.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The most far-reaching of Ohio’s laws restricting abortion was struck down on Thursday by a county judge who said last year’s voter-approved amendment enshrining reproductive rights renders the so-called heartbeat law unconstitutional.

Viganò, who is a long-time supporter of Trump’s political candidacy, argued in his Tuesday letter that a vote for Trump “means firmly distancing ourselves from an anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, and anti-human vision of society” while at the same time noting “serious problems” with the former president’s declared positions on both abortion and “assisted procreation [IVF],” which he said “a Catholic cannot agree with.” [Snip] For a Catholic,...voting for Kamala Harris is morally inadmissible and constitutes a very grave sin. Nor is it morally possible to abstain, because in this war declaring oneself neutral means allying oneself with the enemy.

In the late 1940s, Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black, in the case of Everson v. United States, took a quote from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson out of context and insisted that the wall of separation between church and state “should be high and impregnable.” Despite some variability, this position became the basis for the Court’s interpretation of the separation of church and state which led to the banning of prayer and Bible reading in the public schools at the beginning of the 1960s. Separation of church and state means (1) that taxes should not be used to support an official national church (denomination) of Christianity,

REPOST BY REQUEST: I say gently, don’t look for President Trump to expend valuable political capital on this. Senator John Thune has been groomed by Mitch McConnell to be his replacement for decades. Thune’s ascension to the role of Senate Majority Leader was, maybe is, essentially a foregone conclusion. Senator Thune will carry the full support of roughly 15-to-20 senate DeceptiCons (deceptive conservatives), and perhaps a dozen more squishy ones in the middle who want great committee positions. The important dynamic that comes into play is Senate Committee Chairman “leverage” for Donald Trump’s nominees.

Los Angeles County voters have chosen to pass Measure A, which will raise sales taxes by a quarter of a percent to fund homeless services. The referendum, which seemed in doubt until recently, passed with 57% support. CalMatters.org reported (original emphasis): Measure A, which is leading in the ballots counted thus far, would end the county’s existing quarter-cent sales tax for homelessness that was scheduled to expire in 2027 and replace it with a half-cent tax that would begin immediately and continue in perpetuity. That new tax is expected to raise $1 billion a year, and since it has no sunset,

The historian and political scientist Allan Lichtman has blamed “misogyny, racism and xenophobia” for getting his prediction about who would win the White House so catastrophically wrong. Lichtman, who is best known for devising electoral prediction system known as ‘The Five Keys to the White House,’ said in an interview with CNN that the American people were simply not “pragmatic” enough to be able to predict the election correctly. He explained: The Keys to the White House depend upon a rational, pragmatic electorate deciding it based on guidance rather than depending upon if the party should get four more years.

Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, social media users began pushing two conflicting narratives to suggest election fraud. One revived false claims by Trump that the 2020 vote was stolen from him and the other questioned how Vice President Kamala Harris could have received so many fewer votes in 2024 than President Joe Biden in 2020. Both narratives hinge on a supposed 20 million vote gap between Harris and Biden.

Most of us probably assumed that those who graced her rally stages or interviewed her for television or podcasts did so because they actually supported her.

John Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, has been so inundated with requests to do something similar to Donald Trump that he felt compelled to address the situation on social media. How far gone do you have to be to try and enlist a former attempted assassin to take out the new President-elect — and he's telling you to get a grip? Hinckley's comments indicate enough of an onslaught of requests that it needed to be mentioned. And it's incredibly troublesome considering Democrat rhetoric over the past several months has already led to two attempts on Trump's life
