The Education Department plans to announce Tuesday that it will move multiple parts of the agency to other federal departments, an unprecedented and unilateral effort to dismantle an agency created by Congress to ensure all Americans have equal access to educational opportunity and better coordinate federal programs.
The move was described by three people informed of the plan ahead of the announcement. Two of these people said six offices within the department would be shifted elsewhere; the third person said it was at least two.

A magat professor? Wild how someone in charge of teaching people could also be functionally retarded.
Far more common than you’d initially guess, especially in big red states like Texas and Florida.
The Charlie Kirk-ification of academia has systematically removed much of the so-called Liberal Academic base and used their chairs as sinecures for conservative cronies and nepotism hires.
I had a few of those. I was the reason one of them banned laptops in her class after my semester because I fact checked her so much. She would say shit like, “the CDC says that condoms are 100% ineffective.”
Luckily she couldn’t ban my laptop because it was a reasonable accommodation for my disability.
Pretty soon the title of Professor will be meaningless…
It was an operating systems class. He spent half the time waxing poetically about Microsoft in the 90s and the other half calling Elon a tech genius.
I think a lot of people still have difficulties understanding that the US will be dismantled down to the dirt. I understand. It sounds unreal to think that every single piece of this country will be eliminated and rebuilt into a country that is totally unrecognizable. People are fighting it mentally… They are denying it. Even when it happens, they make an excuse for it not being the end of the country… but if you look back in history, every civilization eventually ended.
I agree with you. But for the rest of us that can see the shit fest of destruction coming, what’s going to happen after the next 3 years?
Is it all going to be straight 'reconstruction ’ or a chance for something new to replace?
Can we recover? This is the question that fills me with dread in bed.
Oh, no… It’s going to be rebuilt back up similar to handmaid’s tale. Total authoritarianism. If you want freedom, come back in about 200 years.
Best case scenario is the states split off, there’s a mostly cold war, and the land known as the United States is financially crippled for generations as they try to stabilize. I would recommend not being in a red state, because there will be no federal government to keep them in check.
Dismantled, yes. Rebuilt?
If you smash a vase, someone will eventually pick those pieces up. They might reassemble it into a bowl.
Red states are excelling in this regard. Vaulting unqualified and downright damaged/damaging right-wingers into teaching positions so they can further pollute our young. There was even a recent scandal (Texas) about having other people take their yearly assessment/qualification exams for them. And even now Texas is wholly de-funding public education in favor of private indoctrination schools. Yay. :-|
