President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on the elimination of the U.S. Department of Education. Now, State Superintendent Ryan Walters is enthusiastically preparing Oklahoma schools for just that. A memo was sent to superintendents across the state on Thursday.
Walters says his department is “preparing to work hand in hand with an incoming Trump Administration to continue the work of dismantling the federal government’s decades of undue influence over public education.”
The memo supports eliminating the federal education department in favor of moving to block grants.
Walters outlines five areas where he sees this as beneficial for Oklahoma schools: Parental rights, ending social indoctrination in classrooms, protecting patriotism in curriculum, stopping illegal immigration’s impact on schools and blocking foreign influence.
The memo also says the state department will be directing its resources to ensure those priorities are championed so schools can smoothly transition after the coming changes.
USA is going to go through a very dark path.
…ending social indoctrination in classrooms, protecting patriotism in curriculum…
Does not compute.
We’re beyond parody. These ghouls can spew this with a straight face and their little piggies will eat it up without a second thought.
Literally something out of The Onion. What a world we live in.
That will work great for them right up until colleges refuse to recognize their student’s diplomas and have them take additional tests for admission.
It’s nice that you think these States are going to produce anyone who could consider post-secondary education
So much for an educated electorate. I hate this country more than ever.
It’s about to become much less educated
