Trump Calls For Dissolution Of Dept Of Education, Harris Cronies Cry Foul…Despite 40% Illiteracy Rate

Federal control of public education has been a disaster, and it’s only getting worse. A cursory look at the most basic educational statistics is horrifying. Scientific American estimates that two-thirds of elementary schoolchildren lack fluency in English, while an astonishing 40% are flat-out illiterate.

Further, teacher’s unions have become a political cudgel, wielded by ideologues like Randi Weingarten. Covid-19 served as the perfect magnifying glass of the degree to which the unions have become a tool designed to support a progressive narrative, children be damned.

So when Donald Trump calls for an end to the Department of Education–another Statist platform long overdue–expect liberal heads to explode. Predictably, they have.
