That's been true for a very long time. The thing is Trump doesn't care about those other wars. His masters don't allow people to speak out against them.

Florida’s expanded school choice puts parents in charge, and the results are undeniable. In 2023, Florida ranked first in the nation for African-American students’ reading proficiency and second for Hispanic students’ math proficiency. Graduation rates have jumped by 10% over the past decade, hitting a historic high of 90% in 2022 -- well above the national average. By focusing on academic achievement and removing political ideologies from the classroom, Florida has shown that local control works. The DoE’s failure is clear. Local control produces results. It’s time to get rid of the federal interference and let states and parents do what they know is best for their children. How We Close the DoE The Constitution never granted the federal government control over education. Florida has shown us that local control works. To dismantle the DoE, President Trump can: Issue executive orders to strip the DoE of its regulatory power. Redirect funding to states through block grants. Repeal federal mandates on testing, curriculum, and hiring. Cut the DoE’s budget and workforce to limit its influence. While full abolition requires Congress, President Trump can swiftly reduce the DoE’s power and return education to the hands of parents and states. This isn’t an end to education -- it’s a return to common sense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
