Mississippi might now be doing the best job of educating students of all races. Rejected DOE imperatives, went back to basics
The DOE had its purpose. Stipulate that racism and Brown v Board are no longer needed. We need a new DOE that isn’t thinking about the past but forward. It’s going to be bumpy. These changes are ushering in the new “economic separate but equal”. It is not about race or religious based schools, it is about economic status and distribution of tax dollars. Consider: The wealthy are “tired” of paying taxes for a social contract intended to lift the potential human capital of the poor and middle class in exchange for an educated pool of human capital work force. Said simply, the wealthy don’t see tangible returns on their tax dollar investment. Example: unicorn tech bros have 10 person billion dollar incubator company with AI that can out perform a 1,000 person human capital based company. So, what does it matter if we have a national level measurement of throughout the country via the DOE? Consider: US employers have had the biggest subsidy of all time with an educated human capital work force. The argument is employers are going to have to pay the bills they owe America. Suck it up business owners. You are now confronted with a new cost. You are going to pay for OTJ for a pool of undereducated mass that need apprenticeship, journeyman, and master level OTJ to equate what the taxpayers have been footing. The alternative is that states are going to need to raise taxes, issue bonds, and beg borrow and steal to provide critical services for the masses in the economic separate but equal world. Dems loose this battle because they can’t articulate the value proposition to business and taxpayers. Dems should have a simple calculator: per capita student cost primary through HS educated pool = $X savings for your business. Under educated = $X of OTJ training you business owner now have to pay. Dems fail simple math to your equate tax dollars to value to society. Heck, Dems could add per capita student cost = crime stats and how many security staff and police force you need for your business. Prediction: Dems are too dumb to catch up to the plan. This will convert to vouchers, tax reductions, open the door to private for profit primary and secondary education, and ultimately the destruction of public education.
I haven't voted in several months since President Trump our great commander won. Now I'm absolutely loving EVERYTHING he's been doing
Why would I be happy? I’m not the one who says they love the uneducated. I just remember a time before the DOE when states ran their own education. High school students from a blue state like New York would show up in a southern school and complained what they were learning in high school in the south was the same as what they had in middle school up north.
Mississippi is ranked 50th out of 50 in student success. You probably need to go beyond twitter posts for your arguments. I will say Mississippi is doing better than Florida so there’s that. Oh yeah, Florida is another red state that attacks education at every turn. Public School Rankings by State 2025
Wrong again comrade Ji. Mississippi may provide the best education in the country when properly analyzed
Properly analyzed? Okay then who’s to say it wasn’t the DOE that Trump is getting rid of didn’t have anything to do with it? But getting back to the subject at hand it will be interesting to see what those scores look like in a few years without federal funding.
Since red states derive about 25-30% more of their education funding from Fed sources than the blue states, getting rid of the DOE will affect red states significantly more.... oh my.
Great Commander..... Ohhh wow, that's the funniest thing I have read, I needed that good laugh first thing in the morning..... Your comment just proves you, like the rest of your delusional brainwashed MAGA's, are so far up the Orange Skidmark's Arse, you couldn't see the forest through the trees....
Yup. It will be interesting, at least. Obviously it will become; "See how bad the schools are - we need vouchers!!" The game plan is so simple that it's almost childish. But Americans voted for it. We're getting what we deserve.
