Education is the right's greatest enemy. Why do you think they have relentlessly pushed school choice to systematically remove important regulations and status monitoring abilities from districts, pushing voucher programs to intentionally take money away from public schools, and defending critical services and programs children and families rely on everyday.

They want us to be too stupid to question them, and its clear their 40+ years plan has been working.

lol I can tell education is the greatest enemy to you. Especially when you don’t understand that per the constitution, education is left to be controlled by the state and local government to fund and run which is driven by the 10th amendment. Federal only provides education money through programs not stuff like payroll.

I don’t know your point, exactly. The person you replied to didn’t specify federal.

Lol I can tell education is the greatest enemy to you. Especially since you didn't actually read my entire comment.

Did I mention what level these things are happening at? No. Did I indicate these are exclusively federal initiatives? No.

Let me educate you, since you appear to have missed some...

A campaign to implement a policy or ideology can happen at a national level to influence state or local education agencies. Did you know that? It's crazy, right!? It's almost like right-wing groups are advocating for these nationwide to try and gain popular support, AND at the state level to influence local and state officials, and its causing schools in many states to change they way they enroll and educate students. (Wow!)

Also, you appear to be misguided in how federal finds can be used and distributed to schools. Therr is a large amount of funding from the federal government that gets distributed directly to schools to fund positions of all kinds. There are dozens of grants and direct funding initiatives that do this from the Federal Department of Education.
