They already are robbing public schools, calling them failures and usurping our tax dollars and societal future.

reduce the public school funding to nothing. Their goal is to do away with public schools, convert our whole school system to their version of a 'religious' school . The few public schools which survive the debacle will be so poorly funded that they will not be able to function.

For every child who accepts a school voucher, $800 is removed from the public school fund for their home district

public schools possible. I get funding cuts will hurt and are counterproductive, but public schools have to do the best they can until voters come to their senses. Not confident that will happen.

Doing away with special education and students’ rights to services that enable them to learn and succeed is a key goal of their efforts to destroy the US Department of Education. Both parents and professionals need to be alerted and ready to combat this.

The automobile industry is still powerful that way.

Except now it's Waymo and other self-driving startups.

We're about to witness the largest wealth heist in history. Completely legal, broadcast in prime time on Hannity, fully authorized by SCOTUS, and made possible by MAGAs in the House and Senate.
