Jimmy Carter is gone; Let’s hope the Ministry of Education puts an end to him

The Department of Education (DOE) is part of the legacy of the delayed President Jimmy Carter. ItS mission is said to “promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by promoting educational excellence and ensuring equitable access.”

Instead, the DOE’s decades-long impact has led to excessive student loan debt. failing schoolsand, even more clearly, by failing students. An education-oriented one The publication laments this omission, but still misses the point and concludes that these problems could be remedied with more money.

The Ministry of Education’s 2024 budget was in billion. However, the agency had the unmitigated audacity to demand four percent more (3.1 billion). Added for 2025.

In total, the fiscal year 2025 budget includes $82.4 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of Education, including a mandatory program change (CHIMP) and resignations. This filing reflects an escalate of $3.1 billion, or 4.0 percent, from the fiscal year 2024 annualized CR value.

Secure, Jan.

Now 30 countries outperform the United States in mathematics at the high school level. Many people are also ahead in science. Collaboration and development, the millennials of our workforce Tie for last place on math and problem-solving tests among millennials in the workforce of all developed countries tested. We now have the worst educated workforce in the industrialized world. Because our workforce is among the highest paid in the world, many Americans are uncompetitive in the global economy. And not competitive with increasingly bright machines. It’s a formula for a bleak future.

The idea of ​​significantly increasing the achievement of the average American high school graduate and returning American workers to the best-educated in the world, coming from the bottom, seems like a pipe dream. At least they existed No improvement in high school math and reading grades in NNational Assessment of Educational Progress after more than 40 years of trying every “best practice” imaginable.

But in recent years, and even more clearly during the pandemic, the DOE/NEA’s focus has been on indoctrination, not education. A vast portion of this billion-dollar budget was spent on revising Title IX standards to “Gender identity“instead of biological sex and fighting lawsuits against states that have pushed back.

Money well spent.

It’s amazing, like everything this failure happened after Carter created the DOE. But what’s even more astonishing is how little guilt is placed in his lap. Especially now that his presidential and personal legacy is being polished after his death.

The Department of Education and national teachers unions honor the death of Jimmy Carter.

Carter stood up for his promise Nationalize education.

As a presidential candidate in 1976, Carter promised the National Education Association that he would advocate for its own education department, a goal that the NEA had sought for a century. In return, the country’s largest teachers union gave the president its first endorsement in its then 117-year history.

And he kept his promise and encouraged Congress to draft the said bill the Department of Education Organization Act. Both houses of Congress were persuaded to pass it “for the children.” This fallacious rallying cry has been used by Democrats for decades, and this law gave it its deepest entrenchment.

Then-President Jimmy Carter signed the bill on October 17, 1979, dividing the functions of the House The Department of Health, Education, and Human Services is divided into two Cabinet-level branches: the Department of Education (DOE) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). While he was clearly defeated by Reagan in 1980, the Damage occurred. So far, no Republican president has bothered to touch it since. You could say that Republican President George W. Bush made it worse with his “no child left behind” nonsense.

No Child Left Behind has done more to hinder education. AP courses have been discontinued. STEM was not supported. Mediocrity has been achieved.

But over the years, the DOE increased its budget and did little about it Improve education.

As tributes roll in before America bids farewell to Jimmy Carter, the current global turmoil is a fresh reminder that the decisions the delayed 39th president made in office continue to impact the world four decades later, creating both challenges and challenges also represent opportunities for the man about to take over the White House for a second term.

Many of the problems facing President-elect Donald Trump — Iran, the Panama Canal, the Department of Education and appeasement diplomacy — have their roots in the Carter presidency, a reality also reinforced by the significant humanitarian achievements the former president made afterward achievements cannot be erased by his departure from office or the widely recognized kindness of the God-fearing, Marine-serving peanut farmer who lived to be 100 years aged.

“I don’t think there’s anyone who would say anything bad about him personally,” said Nicholas Giordano, a political science professor at Suffolk Community College and popular podcaster. “He was really a good and decent person.

“But it shows you that sometimes being good and decent doesn’t necessarily equate to success as president,” he added.

Many are trying to whitewash this failed presidency by touting Carter’s “decency” and humanitarian efforts, thinking they should outweigh the barnacles and toxic policies he created that continue to destroy America and American lives.

With impeachment proceedings and Russia nonsense, President Donald Trump 1.0 could do little to reform the Department of Energy. However, President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in in 20 days. In Trump Presidency 2.0, the president-elect promised on day one to abolish Carter’s DOE.

The Washington bureaucrats had their chance, and they failed. It is time to let states take the lead.

Local control means better schools, less bureaucracy and more opportunities for our children.

The Washington bureaucrats had their chance, and they failed. It is time to let states take the lead. Local control means better schools, less bureaucracy and more opportunities for our children. Abolishing the Department of Education is a step toward empowering states and localities to decide what is best for their students.

And with recent criticism on social media about H1-B visas and America’s lack of educational proficiency as the reason we need to import foreign workers, it’s pretty obvious that abolishing the Department of Education couldn’t come soon enough.

Jimmy Carter – RIP 2024
Ministry of Education – RIP 2025
