issue is serious, given the stated objectives of the Heritage Foundation's voluminous "Project 2025" effort in this area.
...from the attached article's summary of Project 2025/Education...
---------------------
Project 2025’s education agenda proposes a drastic overhaul of federal education policy, from early childhood through higher education. Here’s just a sample of the Project 2025 education-related recommendations:
Dismantle the U.S. Department of Education (ED)
Eliminate the Head Start program for young children in poverty
Discontinue the Title I program that provides federal funding to schools serving low-income children
Rescind federal civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ students
Undercut federal capacity to enforce civil rights law
Reduce federal funding for students with disabilities and remove guardrails designed to ensure these children are adequately served by schools
Promote universal private school choice
Privatize the federal student loan portfolio
It’s an outrageous list, and that’s just the start of it.
---------------------
The MAGA claim is that dismantling our current Dept. of Education will make for a more balanced program...as you can see...it does nothing of the sort, and in fact seeks to implement an extremist, far right program instead. Case in point...over 60% of Americans are just fine with Gay Marriages, yet the Project 2025 plan is very much "Anti-LGBTQ"...i.e. Totally One-Sided and not recognizing the views/expectations of the MAJORITY in this nation.
