Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It feels like the whole reason for this is so that Christians can have their own schools not controlled by fed rules/laws. Self-segregation.

No. They absolutely want to push the bullshit onto the rest of us.
It does seem that way with the tax credit and school choice push. Is the DoE the answer or could it be handled better at the state or regional level?
My belief is that if we are to be a single nation, then it had to be handled at the federal level by the DoE, and not at the various states level.
At the states level its just an easy prelim/prep for a future civil war.

I'm sorry but what is that tag at the bottom of your post? I tried reading through the link but I couldn't gather. It's free use but they can't assume ownership or endorsement?
Some info about that ...

So would that look like pulling all say from the states and putting all funding, policy, etc. at the federal level?
I'd say funding would be dual-leveled, depending on what is being funded.
Policy mandates at the fed level would be funded with fed dollars. Meal and health programs too.
Things like physical building maintenance and teacher salaries would be at the state level (with help with fed funds for poor states).

That's mostly how it is now, no?
Assume so. 🤷♂️ Don't know details. Was just responding to your question.
I'm also assuming that would change with the removal of the DoE.

But there's certain things they couldn't do in the past, if they wanted the fed money. Now that those policies and mandates are going away, they can do whatever they want, they can go hardcore, for lack of a better description.
If you’ve been reading the newspapers over the last year or two, you’ve seen various States try to pass various rules about the Bible or the Ten Commandments. They weren’t doing that in private schools; private schools already could do that, right?
IANAL, but no, for constitutional reasons, as well as getting money from the feds if they don't do it, versus sacrificing that money if they do do it.

The US Department of Education doesn't mandate any curriculum from the federal level. States set their own curriculum guidelines.
If you hear someone making this complaint about the federal government dictating what can and can't be taught in schools, they are either being intentionally disingenuous (in which case they should be called out for it immediately) or they are an idiot who bought this idea being peddled by someone else (in which case they should be enlightened).
Christians (and any other group that wants) can (and do) already have their own private schools.
Nobody said that is what is currently being done. They do affect a general direction though, keep everyone "on the same page", via policies/mandates.
