Title: HR 899 "A Bill to....
Post by: Scout26 on February 09, 2017, 10:39:12 PM
Abolish the Department of Education"

Which consists on one sentence:

Quote
"The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2018."

Introduced by Thomas Massie, (R-Ky, 4th)

So perhaps all those Democrats wailing and rendererererering their garments will get their wish and she won't be running the DoEd for very long, just winding down operations.

It would be interesting to see how American students did with respect to the rest of the world both before and after the DofEd was created.  >:D

No question about passing it just so we can see what's in it, eh?

Wait until the multi page amendments are added, ad nauseam.

Dems are going to be in a real quandry...

They HATE the new SecEd., and this would be a chance to get rid of her, but...  :rofl:

It's now cool to harass (and assault) women if they don't share your views.

I was cracking up as I read the timeline of that. Early on people were calling her stupid because "there's more than one entrance to a school - she was too stupid to look". Later it turned out she did in fact go in another entrance and the harassers were too stupid to man all the entrances.  :laugh:

If I were the (I assume security) guy driving her SUV, I would have just kept going when that one dumbass stepped in front of the SUV.

But yeah, the whole thing is a glaring example of the hypocrisy of these nutjobs. Even the very far left head of the teachers union said this was going too far, and she was skewered for saying it.

One day they will once again stop to not run over the "protestor", and some whack-job will take a shot some VIP ala Sarajevo ala Gavrilo Princip.  And after that protestors will become speedbumps.

I would like to see one amendment.  Something to abolish all federal regulation of K-12 education and kill all federal funding/grants of same.
