let's take stock here:
(Democratic) Presidents, via the Dept of Education, can't cancel student debt because statutes don't clearly authorize it.
Republican Presidents can cancel/shut down the Dept of Education because, even though only Congress can shut down departments ..., ... 🤷♀️ YOLO?

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?
Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.
In a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.

Yeah education policy is indirectly one of the areas where we’re most fucked by having an insane and evil right wing party because the liberal education establishment is in many ways extremely bad.
Basically every single pedagogical debate is like this:
“Let’s move away from phonics, multiplication tables and testing because they leave kids behind”
“Aren’t those the only things that work”
“Yes”
“And won’t it be less equitable in the end because rich parents can pay for tutors”
“Also yes”

I don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled.
Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security.
This is absolutely an act of sabotage.

From a confirmed source within the Calgary Board of Education...
Over 1000 kids across Calgary are being denied an education.
Because of UCP changes to the Education Act, over 1000 kids are being denied an education because of delays in immigration processing.
Over 1000.

The idea that education is intended for girls and disadvantages boys is beyond ridiculous. Look at the history of education and how girls and women were prevented from accessing it. Girls are still penalized today for showing too many inches of skin because it’s a “distraction” to the boys
