    I saw it this morning. It’s probably only the top of the iceberg. Put your afternoon to some good use for once and go find it. It will at least spare us from breading your nonsense for 15-20 minutes. It’s not a lot of time but we’ll take anything we can get in this area

    I assume this is directed to me, and means you can't find a link to the things you say? Why, because they are not true?

    Link or scurry, sir.

    Quick thoughts: Eliminating the federal DOE means shifting an increased burden to the states. States already drive the main bus on funding and curriculum, but the fed provides funding in special areas (ex. Title I) and helps to ensure a free and fair education to minorities and students w disabilities. Shifting all of that to the states would likely increase not decrease corruption. Think about places like Alabama, Mississippi, & Tennessee. How will their state gov prioritize education? They won't. It's a HUGE grift at play.

    Here's a micro sample and I've given one in the past wrt after school enrichment for low SES students. When I taught in Hillsborough Co, there was a pro development program for teachers at Title I schools. The funding was more likely through Fed DOE grants than Title I, but you had to teach at a Title I to be eligible. I volunteered to participate - received instructional tech and training on the tech which directly benefitted our students (ex. we made in-class recordings of kids singing & playing instruments). As a part of the program, we had an opp for a UF prof to visit, observe, and give feedback. Whole thing federally funded. I jumped on it, which resulted in UF prof recruiting me back to school for a terminal degree. Now I'm in higher ed training future teachers. The fed program opened up an opportunity that positively impacted lots of folks (mostly students), but also me.

    sure makes it easier to buy those trump bibles, meme coins, inauguration donations, and truth social stock when you get those kind of tax breaks in return. buying a politician has a very high ROI, no wonder that is where djt gravitated to.

    It’s in a thread on this forum. Hard to think that you can teach when you can’t bother to research. As I said before; God save the children!

    I don't research your lies. Or those of other Trumppublicans. Can you imagine how much time that would waste.

    Also, don't you know how this goes by now? You've been caught saying things that aren't true.... You've got to run away for a while and pretend it didn't happen, until you come back and do it again.

    Reminds me of trying to eliminate student debt by EO, or the ERA is the land of the law. Remember or memory hole?

    You really have some issues dude. I’m at a hotel and I went downstairs for dinner with a few of my staff. Stepping away for a couple of hours is running away? I never knew that. Well if you’re expecting me to stay up in my room with my phone so I can respond quickly to your inane and nonsensical posts you better think again. These items you are calling lies are all now coming out. More and more people will now see the shenanigans of your boy, Sleepy Joe. I think I’ll go back down and have one more drink just to piss you off. I’m sure some of the boys are still down there. Even if they aren’t, sitting at the bar listening to some drunk stranger babble is better than reading your posts.

    So still not admitting there's no source. And too embarrassed to even try to research it. Sad, poster is however very consistent in this regard.
