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.
Not in the context I’m talking about. Ideally you make it an elevated diploma that resembles an older school curriculum and it is available to be completed at the same time as a regular HS diploma. It would focus more on school topics as they used to be when the kids actually came out with good learnings versus indoctrination. The point would be to force schools to drift away from indictrination to chase federal funding. GED would stand alone as needed.
But again, there should be ideas being pushed to loosen, then remove, the hold on the kids throughout their education. I could write an entire wish list to remove the teacher union’s power and how to tie it to a program like this. That is how you get the kids back on track.....programs....carrot/stick....if we get both house and senate codify it with near zero wiggle room. This is what the DOE should be doing. I have heard more about the 1619 Project and BLM materials being taught...where is the DOE?
If I go on a bit on this topic, it is because if we don’t make up lost ground on schools.....nothing else will matter in the long run IMHO.

It's easy to push, hard to follow-through and there has been push with resulting aggressive push-back.
Federal HS Diploma... Isn't that what the GED already does in practice?

No, I agree with you. It didn't occur to me because some of this is a bit outside of my own perspective.
Thanks for sharing Pede
