Mike Rounds submitted bill that needs supermajority to pass, unlikely even in GOP-controlled Senate next year

Summary

Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced the Returning Education to Our States Act, aiming to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, a long-time Republican goal aligned with Trump’s agenda.

The bill proposes redistributing the department’s $200 billion budget and responsibilities to other federal agencies and states, such as shifting federal student loans to the Treasury.

Critics warn this could undermine protections for students with disabilities and marginalized groups.

While the bill faces significant political hurdles, it reflects broader GOP efforts to reduce federal influence over education policy.

    How is it edgy to want to fight to continue to exist? You want people to roll over and die? To just let bad shit continue to happen to them?

    Go fuck yourself with this pacifist attitude, it’s done nothing to progress anyone, in fact led democrats to lose to facism.
