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.

    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. :-|
