Education is a complex fucking issue, both on the macro and micro levels.

People who think we’re going to get the miracles you speak of by pursuing school choice (privatization) and abolishing the Ed Dept are ideological fools.

I agree, and I think it’s a good start. It will also bring to the forefront, the differences in each state. I know CA has ranked near or at the bottom for several years now and maybe being in full control of their own destiny without the federal government to blame will serve as a wake up call for some in the state to do something about the problem. I’m going to remain hopeful for now. At least some action is being taken. The saying, “do something even if it’s wrong “, may apply here. Plus there’s the added benefit of reducing federal bloat and saving money. If you want an excellent masterclass on the debt, deficit, and economic planning, I highly recommend the All In podcast interview by David Freidburg and Chamath Palihapitiya(sp?), where they interview Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

A very good point. Unfortunately, you are talking to a moron.

Yes, but unfortunately that privatization is going on apace in Iowa schools.
