Is the US Department of Education Departing?
A Conservative 5 discussion segment
I regularly join four fellow panelists at Liberty Nation News to discuss current events (and engage in a light-hearted trivia game that I almost always lose). In this brief segment, the crew discusses Donald Trump’s proposals to close down the US Department of Education — is it possible? What will the Department of Education look like under this new administration? Our panel of “experts” addresses this issue in this recent segment called Department of Education: Departing? – C5 TV - Liberty Nation News.

The public education standards are abysmally low. When my children were in “school”, I held a reading group at my kitchen table where I taught neighbor high school students how to read. We began with second grade material for high school students. I brought this up to the principals and superintendent and barely received a shoulder shrug. The district my children were in was rated highly and I must wonder how that occurred. How can young adults be expected to sign contracts for leases or whatever if they are not literate? I definitely went on proverbial strike post-shoulder shrug and that was in the early 2000’s. I do not want to spend more tax money on something that clearly does not have high standards or is ineffective. This subject, like quality food/nutrition, is near and dear to my heart. Thank you for sharing it.
