This week, the Trump administration welcomed His new American secretary of the education department, Linda McMahon. In a message to public schools and higher education establishments, it promises to revise the department in a “last chance” effort to “restore the culture of freedom and excellence that has made American education great”. Here’s how she plans to do so.
“The real change does not occur overnight,” she said in a public declaration At the time of his confirmation, which follows a constant flow of decrees by President Donald Trump intended for Dei, genre ideology,, Choice of school and several other division problems.
“The Ministry of Education does not work as planned,” she wrote. She underlines the fact that since the establishment of the ministry in 1980, taxpayers have entrusted the agency more than 1 dollars: “However, the results of the students have always Langui.”
“Millions of young Americans are trapped in failing schools; Subject to a radical anti-American ideology, or have stained with a college debt for a diploma that has not provided a significant return on investment, ”she wrote. “Teachers leave the profession in mass after just a few years and citing administrative formalities as one of their main reasons.”
In the coming months, McMahon has promised to make the directives of President Trump. More specifically, she describes the three convictions:
- Parents are the main decision -makers of their children’s education.
- Education funded by taxpayers should refocus on significant learning in mathematics, reading, science and history – not Dei programs and a gender ideology.
- Post-secondary education should be a path to a well-paid career aligned with the needs of the workforce.
Stop the Department of Education
McMahon could already take action to undress in the department after discussions on a decree that could happen this week, reported for the first time by The Wall Street Journal.
The written decree recognizes that Trump is not allowed to dismantle the department because it would probably take 60 votes in the Senate. However, he ordered the Secretary for Education to “take all the necessary measures to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education”. According to “the appropriate maximum extent authorized by law”, the Newspaper Reports.
Experts, including the main researcher of Thomas B. Fordham Institute, Dale Chu, argue that the total elimination of the department is unlikely. However, he says that the game book we see taking place is a “sterilization” of the agency.
“Abolishing the department has always been more a campaign slogan than a serious government plan,” he said. “That said, this administration seems to consider federal law as more than one suggestion than something to follow to the letter. If you can’t kill the department, why not neutralize it?
