One of the things Donald Trump has said he wants to do in his second term is to abolish the Department of Education and give the task of educating America’s children back to the states. Local school districts have been held hostage by powerful teachers’ unions, who have negotiated all sorts of goodies for their members and indoctrinate students on things like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), critical race theory (CRT), and transgenderism but can’t seem to find the time to teach them to read and write. Now, as people flee blue states, one of them has given parents one more reason to do so.
I’ve long been a critic of the public education system. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, NJ passes a law that says teachers will no longer need to pass a test on basic reading, writing and math to get a certification.
The dumbing down of America…
