As the left screams bloody murder, President Trump signs an Executive Order, dismantling the US Dept. of Education.
Trillions of dollars have been wasted in this corrupt and incompetent operation over the years with the most global dollars spent per student, while American scholars remain near the bottom worldwide in reading and mathematics.
There is no comparison in the educational accomplishment of higher mathematics with countries such as India, China, and the Scandinavian countries.
Trump believes by sending the education of our students back to the states, things will drastically improve.
Certainly over the years, I have seen local institutions offer Latin and higher mathematics, while others pushed leftist ideology instead of basic fundamentals.
Time for a change and our future national security depends on it.
What do you think? As always your comments are welcome and appreciated.
