On the view yesterday they were attacking Linda McMahon as unqualified (given who Biden appointed, that's really hilarious!).

McMahon is perfectly qualfiied to lead a large organization through her private sector experience. She is not supposed to be an educator. She is to be an enabler for states and to dismantle bureaucracy.

She must be pretty successful to turn into a target. Apparently Sen. Warren called for her to resign, for no particular reason, other than she is doing what she was selected to do.

This article tallks about what McMahon is doing in her effort to be the last Secretary of Education.

I wish the Congress would get with it and eliminate the department.

Here is the 4th screed to send up the flagpole for the week.

It must be exhausting.

The greatest power should be at the local level, not the federal level. For that alone I applaud McMahon and Trump's views of killing it. That being said, a huge portion of the budget for schools comes from the federal level and I know that the schools struggle now to make ends meet, so I hope that does not go away. Get the federal regulations out of the way, let the local boards and state boards make the rules for educating our kids. No more of this no child left behind crap, it has done nothing of value to our schools and if anything has caused the high achieving kids to be held back from achieving their best while it hasn't done significant improvement to the kids at the bottom.

That is my understanding of what is happening based on what I have read from normal outlets

Money to states and local boards to run their school systems without the federal monstrosity and waste and dumb*** PhDs sitting behind desks in DC barking stupidity.

She was selected to run the department not get rid of it, also *qualified.

Wrong. No Child Left Behind has saved a bunch of kids from the jail/welfare cycle. Schools were unaccountable before as long as they produced a few high performing. Helping the bottom does nothing to hinder the top. What hinders the top is the progressive desire to bring everyone to the same lowest common denominator.

NCLB means the schools educate everyone, not just a select few. That some chose to educate nobody is a reflection on school leadership, not NCLB. It gets blamed because educators HATE accountability.

Wrong as always. Trump selected her to close down the department.

Yep. Trump has even said so several times. But "Roxie" can't add anything substantive to any debate "she" takes part in. "She" is just a drive-by troll who got unbanned due to a technicality.

Trump says a bunch of ****. She was selected to run the department no matter how unqualified she is.

Like I said, "Roxie", you don't add anything of substance to any thread you take part in. You just act like a drive-by troll. Don't like it? Actually start debating us instead of leaving little drive-by quotes. (But you won't because you're just a troll)

You are arguing that she wasn't picked to run the department. Which is a *** **** lie.

Go tell somebody who cares.

It has no debate skills.

There is no debate when one side just lies.

Nope. Just stupid drive-by bullcrap. In every. Single. Thread.

Show me the statistics to back that up. Inner city schools specifically.

Right about that. The left lies about everything.

Go get your own inner city stats and stop being so lazy.

But graduation rates increased from 69% to 81% between 2000 and 2013.

And I have kids who grew up during the NCLB era and know that the educators were kicking and screaming against having to actually try to educate everyone.

The very first thing Trump said when announcing his plan was the intent is to move the money to the states.
