Why appoint a Secretary of Education?

* Since his first term, the usual purpose of Trump appointees has been to undermine government departments.

* I don’t think the President is really supposed to have the authority to “shutter” government departments Congress is the one that is supposed to allocate funds to various purposes, and the President is not supposed to be allowed to not do so.. So a reasonable assumption would be that even if the President wanted to completely abolish a department, they might not be able to, and so might, at least at first, settle for appointing a saboteur to undermine it, rather than not appoint anyone.

It is a multi-pronged attack. 1. Freeze funding via executive order (illegal). 2. Have Elon and his lackeys send mass emails demanding resignations (illegal). 3. Have Elon and his lackeys take control of the treasury payment systems to potentally stop any transfer of funding to various departments (illegal) 4. Install bootlickers to sabotage the departments directly. Multiple attack vectors in case some, or most of them fail due to legal challenges.

@ragingloli I’m sure Trump read and is following the Fuehrer’s road map to overthrow a Democracy !

He needs a worse version of Her to be able to totally destroy public education.
Problem with the rich is they feel they are the only ones paying for poor people’s children to be educated and the educated don’t exactly all vote for Republicans that protect their wallets.
They love the severely undereducated. They can hire them as waiters or house keepers or to work in factories for long hours and underpay them.
Its a win win for the rich and republicans. And a lose, lose for their enemy the poor.
