Republicans Hate Education... they know that most people with college degrees vote Democrat, and obviously that means that Education Hates America.

"outsource large pieces of the U.S. Department of Education"

Destroying Public Education, by out-sourcing it to Trump's cronies, lined up at the Republican Feed Trough.
Taking money from Public Schools, giving it to Private Churches and Private Schools.
Leaving the Public Schools as the drain trap for black and brown and disabled and special needs students.
Segregation is coming back.

Re #2

Thomas Jefferson argued that a virtuous and educated citizenry is essential to prevent government collapse, as an informed public can make sound decisions, select wise leaders, and protect its own rights from tyranny. He believed that citizens must cultivate virtue and intelligence to sustain a republic, and if they are not equipped to do so, the government will fail.

As we can now clearly see, Thomas Jefferson was absolutely correct.

@#5 ... I never got any education, and I turned out fine! ...

... "You can't come in, open up a massive computer chip factory for billions and billions of dollars like is being done in Arizona, and think you're going to hire people off an unemployment line to run it," the president said at a US-Saudi Investment Forum.

"They're going to have to bring thousands of people with them. And I'm going to welcome those people." ...

Trump loves Money.

He Hates Americans who need services.

His ideal business model is indentured servants on temporary visas. People he can Exploit. Then Deport at will.

He is trying to create an America where CITIZENS are in that situation.

He doesn't want Citizens with equal rights.

Like MBS, he wants terrified Subjects he can Exploit and Abuse, at Will.

Trump is the Worst possible "leader".

Right, the left, as shown on this thread, can't see why the Dept is a problem, even though test scores have dropped dramatically since it's creation. The dept has created more dumb students. How? Because they funnel the money that is meant to go towards teaching to bloated admins.
