So basically, states raise taxes on everyone significantly, which will either not happen or extremely piss off a lot of people, or our kids' education will be bare minimum? I don't know about other states, but in my state, taxes already represent about half the cost of its taxes per year. I don't mind it because it's worth it, but if this suddenly gets much higher I than it already is, I'm not sure we can even handle that at all.
I don't think anyone's going to be given a choice. It'll be "this is it, if you don't like it, homeschool". Of course education quality will nosedive, but the elite won't mind. They have their fancy ivy leagues which will keep churning out their sons and daughters ready for succession.
It's not that they didn't mind, this is what they've been planning.
They don't care about public schools. They want their kids in private Christian schools but paid for with federal government vouchers. You know, a religion-based government like the Taliban.
From the article:
"The reporting requirements and the burdens that come along with not only having to report to the state office of public instruction on how you’re utilizing those funds but also having to report to the Department of Education just creates burdens on our school districts. My hope is this results in reduced red tape and federal oversight and overreach,” she said.
Oh boo hoo you have to actually say where you're spending the money?!? That definitely sounds like overreach 🥴
I mean I’m sure the forms aren’t identical but is having to tell the same information so much of a burden that removing it materially changes anything?
It seems like to work would be in tracking the spending and then once that is done what all is there to save from only having to hand that data to one watchdog instead of two?
Unless of course one of those watchdogs, being a smaller state agency, could be cheaply bought and have their reporting requirements gutted.
When powerful people want small government what they really want is cheaper bribes.
This is what they wanted. Idiots home schooling their kids so they can grow up to be idiots.
Critical questions include who would handle federal funding for low-income schools, disability programs, and civil rights enforcement.
Why would you think that president Musk or vice president Trump want any of those things to continue to be funded?
