You DO realize the Dept of Ed NEVER SET CURRICULA YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TEACH, right?

What the DOE did was allow the government to step in and ensure that INEQUITABLE education was eliminated. But I'm guessing you liked the separate but unequal qualities of education before 1979.

Is there anything HORRIBLE you don't like?

Facile and stupid. I thought you might be able to muster something better.



So now more kids are starving and that's the change you wanted. Got it. Hope it all works out for you.



Yet they wound up doing EXACTLY THAT. ANd then they spend their days DEFENDING that choice.



Screaming at fucking assholes who drool over seeing children starve and people die so a couple billionaires can get a penny or two DOES make me feel better.

I hope it makes you feel worse.

But then it does not appear that you have a moral compass or anything.

As I mentioned beforeI your ranting doesn't affect me personally... go right ahead... I'm super patient and tolerant... You still didn't answer why haven't things improved in sixty three years? After this long programs should be in place so that the children aren't starving.. If all the grants and programs are being handled appropriately....

So the feds don't have anything to do with special education? I beg to differ..... I started teaching in 1977... All 30 years in big city urban schools... I taught through deseg... And back again... I loved teaching... I don't
Like anything horrible....

Not curricula.

And frankly Special Ed wouldn't really be well supported without the efforts of the DOE. Prior to the establishment of the DOE special ed was more localized with varying degrees of support.

This is why the DOE exists: to ensure ALL students ACROSS the country get good educational outcomes. Not just random schools with more budget than others or different priorities.

Arguably Special Ed (your area) is GREATLY IMPROVED due to the efforts of the DOE.

So again, why do you want to see SOME special ed kids get less than others?

OMG. What a horrible, horrible person trump is. :barf:

According to The Atlantic, the amount of food set to be incinerated tomorrow would be enough to feed every single child currently starving in Gaza.
 
Special Ed it is much better managed without the feds involved... All schools are... No one in Washington can possibly imagine and evaluate what's taking place in each different school system... our federal evaluations confirmed that 100%.... It's going to Take years to get special education back to what it should be... and to provide the services for the children as intended... It's turned into just a dumping ground...

US to destroy 500 tons of emergency food as aid freeze stalls global relief efforts

A large quantity of US-purchased food aid is set to be destroyed. The biscuits were intended for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Bureaucratic delays caused the food to sit in a Dubai warehouse. Requests to distribute the food were reportedly ignored. The incineration will cost taxpayers...

I could hear the same exact people bitching that this food was destroyed bitching that Trump gave expired "unsafe" food to refugees...

Bearing repeating:

The Trump administration’s decision to incinerate 500 tons of emergency food stems from the dismantling of USAID and broader cuts to foreign aid programs. The food, primarily high-energy biscuits meant for malnourished children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, was purchased for ~$800,000 near the end of the Biden administration but never distributed due to logistical failures following USAID’s closure. The biscuits, stored in Dubai, are set to expire, and incineration was ordered at an additional cost of $130,000, reportedly due to the administration’s halt on foreign aid distribution, exacerbated by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts that eliminated staff and infrastructure needed to move the food. Some sources suggest the decision reflects a policy shift prioritizing domestic concerns or avoiding aid to countries like Afghanistan and Yemen, where the State Department cited risks of aiding terrorists, though no such justification was given for Pakistan. Critics argue the food could have been redirected to other famine-stricken areas like Sudan or even U.S. food banks, but bureaucratic inaction and lack of approval from new USAID leadership led to the waste. The scale of this destruction—enough to feed 1.5 million children for a week—is described as unprecedented by aid workers.
