"...While Trump lacks the ability to formally close the Department of Education, he can shrink it to the point of irrelevance and ask Congress to deliver the coup de grace. The 44 pages in the Education Chapter of Project 2025 contain precisely that suggestion. Dismantle the department into a hollow shell that does nothing more than gather statistics.
"My conclusion tonight is the same as it was when I first wrote about Project 2025 and Trump’s plan for public education:
"Trump and the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 authors are afraid of an open marketplace of ideas where kids learn to think for themselves. Kids can learn about—and learn from—the history of slavery in this country. The idea that it must be suppressed because it might make white kids feel bad is ridiculous. The more we know of our history, events like the internment of Japanese Americans in camps during World War II, or the treatment of Irish, Italian, Jewish, and other immigrants as they came to country, the better we can become. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. That seems to be the plan here..." -- Joyce Vance, in "Civil Discourse" on Substack, on the white nationalists' long-term plan to control public education. Our simpleton "president," whose lack of basic knowledge can't be laid to public education (he attended private schools his whole life), lied during the 2024 campaign about his awareness of Project 2025. He's since staffed his regime with acolytes of that fascistic blueprint, beginning with one of its authors, now-Director of OMB Russell Vought. Make no mistake: from education, to foreign policy, to health and social security, the Malignant Fascist's regime is re-making America into a dystopian image best viewed through a white nationalist filter.
