She sure pisses off the liberals so she has to be doing some things right.

DoE doesn't micro-manage what goes into your kids' curricula.

She's been aggressive in taking down Title IX "courts" and hammering on student loans, which is more central to the DoE bailiwick.

She's done a lot that slips past us because it's the big fiery events we want.

The title IX is good and I counted that in my original comments....she has not gotten anything else important done. And...the title IX is not as important as federal funding, freedom of speech, and inequality in college staffing for conservatives. That is just off the top of head.....DOE sure was more active in pushing their agenda under Obama...nationally and locally....the proof of that statement is in the schools currently.

She got the job as a major donor and education was her issue. I want a real mover and shaker there for the next 4 years.

Federal funding is being curtailed to the best they can in that there's basically a moratorium on loan forgiveness, and students loans for foreign students.

Freedom of speech and hiring fall to the school administrators. If there's provable abuse there - which there is - then it's the DoJ's move. DoJ has been slow on this and I've been blue-balled over the Asian discrimination claims.

It's easier to make up rules than it is to curtail them when dealing with the federal government and especially when dealing with the Teacher's Unions.

DeVos asked for the shortest stick when it comes to leading a Department which can stand out politically, and I can't think of anyone better for that position than her.

True about DOJ but for them to act, DOE would have to push on it as an issue. Just crickets on that from DOE and everybody knows about it. Should be an easy issue to push.

Locally for instituting a program......Federal High School Diploma. Stand alone diploma that can be earned via successful completion of specific courses. The courses are government identified as is the materials used. The kids don’t need this to graduate with their own school high school diploma, but all that 1619 history crap, common core...all counts for nothing towards a Federal HS Diploma. How long do you think it would take businesses to put a preference on the Federal diploma? Once that happens, how long before parents push for it.

If a moron like me can think of something like this, there is no reason DOE couldn’t do the same or better.

Most politicians and appointed people don't.

I'm loving what I got financially and professionally thanks to Trump.

I'm detesting what we've let happen to every fucking facet of life because we think Trump can do it all.

What is the point of living if we can't fucking live?
