Summary

Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced the Returning Education to Our States Act, aiming to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, a long-time Republican goal aligned with Trump’s agenda.

The bill proposes redistributing the department’s $200 billion budget and responsibilities to other federal agencies and states, such as shifting federal student loans to the Treasury.

Critics warn this could undermine protections for students with disabilities and marginalized groups.

While the bill faces significant political hurdles, it reflects broader GOP efforts to reduce federal influence over education policy.

    How is it edgy to want to fight to continue to exist? You want people to roll over and die? To just let bad shit continue to happen to them?

    Go fuck yourself with this pacifist attitude, it’s done nothing to progress anyone, in fact led democrats to lose to facism.

      Go fuck yourself with this pacifist attitude

      there you go again, assuming you know anything about who i am, who i support, and what actions i’ve taken/not taken.

      my critique of your attitude is that you blame others in a “matter of fact” way without knowing anything about them. childish, immature, and edgy are appropriate descriptions for your reactions. i’m no longer responding after this as clearly you are quick to anger and anger doesn’t lead to rational thought. if you’re not already seeing a therapist, i strongly suggest it. lashing out and projecting doesn’t hurt anyone but yourself.
