@@davidebic anything against christian/religious teachings. Secularism (like whiteness) isn't the status quo. It's merely ONE of many many ways of living and looking at the world.
Secularism isn't against christianity or its teachings. Secular societies allow people the freedom to practice their own religions outside of a public school. Public schools teach children the basics for life like reading, writing, history and science. Seperation of church and state is necessary.
Removing the requirement for students to take social science classes is one thing but I guess it gives students more choice. But to then force students to learn the Bible, pray in class, and learn Christian ideologies is very much hypocritical.
Trump has no plan to force children to learn the bible, pray in class and learn christian ideology, those are optional things that you should have the right to do without discrimination. Also, if they wanted to force students to learn the Bible, the whole state would've probably bought more than 500 of them

@@1LazyTexan2day ok! So can you articulate the republican plan for American education aside from “we’re going to abolish the education department and start force feeding your children bible studies? I ask as a former republican turned independent libertarian.
Removing the Department of Education does sound extreme, however, the department has been fairly new, being implemented in 1979 under Jimmy Carter. The Department of Education has not affected education overall and some can argue it made it worse. Republicans can argue otherwise since they are actually doing something about the education system so it does seem like a national priority.
@MBA172k Sure. I'd like the states to have more say in what is being taught. The very basics like reading and writing could be standard but why does bureaucracy get to choose for everyone? America is a massive place and my knowledge of molten rock being called magma still hasn't served me. Let smaller state government choose along with parents. I'm no bible thumper but if kids are taught Jesus was a good person and loves you no matter who you are, I've got no real issue with that.
I'm a school bus driver, and i can tell you that teachers and school bus drivers dont think highly of parents. There are good parents out there, but most parents use the schools and buses for convenience even if they are stay at home parents. Parents need to be accountable, and teachers need more help. The school system is not helping teach the kids the best to their abilities. Plus, the administrators suck as well. Since i was a kid living in Portland, oregon, the school administrators always canceled school beyond the last minute for snow days, resulting in chaos. There's too many things too fix but needa to be done for the kids.
The argument “Parents know best” is so stupid. Who would you go to if your car broke down? A mechanic. Who would you go to if you’re not felling well? A doctor. So why do people feel they know better than educators?
They may not. But guess what? It’s THRIR kids. I. An go to a mechanic or a doctor. But at the end of the day, what comes out of their mouth is advice. I can follow it or ignore it.
We can NOT trust doctors, car mechanics or teachers blindly. A LOT of car mechanics heavily overcharge for repairs or charge you for repairs that they didn’t even do. When it comes to doctors, id say maybe 5% of them meet my expectations of a doctor. As for teachers, when I was in 9th grade i knew more about science than my science teacher at that time. That science teacher “taught” us that energy is CREATED from chemical reactions, to which everyone nodded along as it obviously made perfect sense and doesnt just ignore the laws of thermodynamics. That same teacher also decided to include some Trans none-sense when we learned about chromosomes
Think of all the students who do well at school. Most of them is because of Parents who make them do homework, pay for tutors and etc. Teachers cannot focus on one kid at a time, parents can. Asians do well because of their parents who push education.
If this guy wanted to buy Bibles for the classroom, he could have bought a set of hardcover study Bibles for $20 each. Instead, he uses taxpayer funds to buy $60 Trump bibles.
Maybe you’re right, but as he stated in the video he bought those bibles in particular because they included all the testaments as well as the bill of rights and the constitution.
Retired teacher here: Parents care about their children the most? That's totally laughable. Ask any living teacher in any state. My sister worked in a bank. She always said, "People care more about their money than their kids." Every student needs the Federal Department of Education to protect them.
Who is going to protect them from the department of education that has dropped American students ranking to the very bottom and shows no signs of rebounding?
@@TheRadioAteMyTV Hon, it sure as shooting isn’t the Federal Department’s fault. Every state government controls the curriculum, how students are tested, and who gets to graduate. Check your state’s DOE. If you don’t like the results in your state, take it up with your governor and legislature. BTW, Blue state students do much better academically than Red state students. My husband and I have taught in both Red and Blue states. We had to follow the state curriculum okayed by the state legislature. P.S. Certain American minority students work much harder at learning than white students, and they score much higher on state tests.
@@BarbaraGrinder The department was created to improve schools and the statistic on every academic measure show America has fallen greatly since it was created, then yes, that is actually their fault. They failed and made it worse according to their own mission.
@ Sorry, but you are misinformed. It was not created to “improve schools” but to PROMOTE improvement, gather information, assure equal educational opportunities for children with all sorts of disabilities, assure equal opportunities for girls in sports, supervise Pell grants and grants in general. That’s a big difference from your “improve schools.” Please do more research into this topic. Thank you for showing your support for educational improvement in this country. Volunteer in your nearest school. They could use the help.
I laughed when I heard “Parents care about their children the most.” As a retired teacher, that’s laughable. I taught children from all socioeconomic levels, single parent families, immigrants, etc., and most parents stop caring so much once their kids are out of elementary school. Ask any secondary teacher or administrator how much trouble they have contacting parents, getting them to come to the school, or getting them to do anything to help their kids. School is the safest, calmest, most nurturing place many of these kids go, and our society benefits from having educators who care! These ridiculous “school choice” voters have no idea what they’re asking for. Teachers are quitting in droves because no one listens to the people in the trenches actually doing the work!
how does this solve the bad pay teachers are getting? Or the lack of materials in classrooms? Or the gun violence in the country against schools? Prayer in schools does not put food on the plates of these kids incurring lunch debt. It also sickens me that these people are selling the Bible at the same cost of a PS5 game.
@@ivanleo7522 You're right, however. What I can see good about this is that we now have a moral compass. Crime stats may go down from a collective world view. Religion teaches morality and that whatever bad things a person is going through. That it'll be temporary. Atheism can blur purpose in life. And you start to question it. Sometimes people need a god for them to be happy. So I see this as a generational fix to prevent crime. Many people nowadays are lost.
@perilousintent2936 I don't agree. Religion does not always teach morality. People commit crime because they are desperate, due to income inequality and social injustice. It's not because they need some god. You can keep praying all you want. It still won't address the issues that are being faced. If kids can't eat, or study effectively, and teacher don't get paid enough or get enough learning materials no amount of prayer or Trump Bible's will fix it.
He’s not going to be able to get rid of the Department of Education - there’s too many people even within his own caucus that need the Department. However, he’ll slash Title I, Title V, and Title IX funding, and that might be enough for his base.

In the other economies I mentioned, they don’t even try hard enough. Even when compared to Europe, maybe they try hard enough but the results are way behind American education system.
@@nshs1234 I don't correlate size of a national economy to quality of its public education.

South Korea has an even lower GDP per capita at $33,121 (comparatively, the US GDP is $81,695 per person), but S. Korea's public education is much more effective (at least in terms of standardized test scores) than the US public education system.

“Nobody loves their kids more than their parents”.. um, not the abusive parents. I hope they’re not expecting all parents to know what’s best and do what’s best because that’s not always the case, and same with individual states. This is just a disaster waiting to happen.
Same augment could be used to say the state is indoctrinating the kids. Only difference is, is the parents usually love their kids, while the government just see them as "future tax payers"
What exactly do you think a parent is supposed to do with children if not pass on their values and traditions, aka indoctrination? Indoctrination is like everything else, its only bad when used for malicious purposes. DEI and CRT are indoctrination and meet the definition of religion as well, but they are not our nation's values as we have all unified to show.
@@TheRadioAteMyTV You need to look up the definition of religion because DEI and CRT are absolutely not religions. Critical Race Theory boils down to looking at our history and understanding that minorities got shafted left and right while diversity, equity, and inclusion are an attempt to rectify those injustices.

"There is nobody that cares more than mom and dad" - For so many kids, this is the exact opposite. I am a teacher and someone who grew up in a broken home. The dude of Oklahoma does not care about kids.
all we need to just fix public schools by removing no child left behind and give more public schools better funding to pay teachers better and we need better safety for both students and teachers by making the schools bullet proof and better background checks. and make prayer in school /religious text readings optional but not force either directly and indirectly and when appropriate like in a club or between classes.
You can pray at any time in school. But allotting time in the day shows a systematic preference for Christianity, which violates the 1st amendment. However, if someone decides to pray out loud and it's not disrupting the class, teachers, administrators, etc should step in if one student decides to bully the religious kid for it, and vice versa
I am not American, but I really cannot understand the logic of what this Republican is saying. He contradicts common sense by ignoring the fact that without funding from the DOE, poorer states will have fewer resources to strengthen their education systems. This means he is effectively taking away children's educational opportunities in places like Oklahoma, rather than offering parents more choices for education.
You are putting Oklahoma education guy for commenting on this. The state which has one of the worst education in the nation? Then bring someone from Massachusetts which has the best education in the country to comment on the same issue for a fair assessment.

I'm as pro-education as it gets, but what other pro-education advocates miss is how little the Department of Education actually does. Most, if not all, of the activities of the DOE can be delegated to states or abolished altogether.

This seems to be 1 important aspect of the Federal Government most people forget: Congress has "power of the purse." While there are certain government positions the President can hire or fire people from & can enact certain policies to deal with economic problems, ultimately it's up to Congress to pass yearly budget resolutions that the President signs off on.
Big states like California, New York, and the like will be fine without the Department of Education. However, states like Oklahoma should worry about not having the Department of Education. Lol

Giving power to the states may not be a good idea. A student’s education attainment and competitiveness gap will be significantly larger between highly educated states like Massachusetts versus poorly educated states like Oklahoma. Consequently, students coming from states like Oklahoma will have a more difficult time getting opportunities especially in admissions to competitive universities.
Honestly, instead of getting rid of the DOE outright like Trump’s doing, I would prefer reforming it in a manner that actually helps and improve the education of America’s population, which would involve removing all that CRT nonsense and aim for colorblindness, innovation, and meritocracy.
When accountability was left to the communities, programs for special needs students were never created, girls were told they didn't belong in Accounting, Physics, or Calculus classes, and school boards funneled all the tax money to their kids' schools ignoring everybody else.
I love when a political hack that has made money from the education system calls other people political hacks for “weaponizing” the education system. Which is what Sec. Duncan did repeatedly.
The Department of Education has been a disaster. At best, it hasn't accomplished anything. At worst, it has actively degraded US educational competency. For an institution that costs $240 Billion annually, we should expect more for our money. Those dollars could be better spent on any number of things. Get rid of the DoE, implement school vouchers, and lets actually get our children educated.

Removing the requirement for students to take social science classes is one thing but I guess it gives students more choice. But to then force students to learn the Bible, pray in class, and learn Christian ideologies is very much hypocritical.
Trump has no plan to force children to learn the bible, pray in class and learn christian ideology, those are optional things that you should have the right to do without discrimination.
Also, if they wanted to force students to learn the Bible, the whole state would've probably bought more than 500 of them

Removing the Department of Education does sound extreme, however, the department has been fairly new, being implemented in 1979 under Jimmy Carter. The Department of Education has not affected education overall and some can argue it made it worse. Republicans can argue otherwise since they are actually doing something about the education system so it does seem like a national priority.
@MBA172k Sure. I'd like the states to have more say in what is being taught. The very basics like reading and writing could be standard but why does bureaucracy get to choose for everyone? America is a massive place and my knowledge of molten rock being called magma still hasn't served me. Let smaller state government choose along with parents. I'm no bible thumper but if kids are taught Jesus was a good person and loves you no matter who you are, I've got no real issue with that.
I'm a school bus driver, and i can tell you that teachers and school bus drivers dont think highly of parents. There are good parents out there, but most parents use the schools and buses for convenience even if they are stay at home parents. Parents need to be accountable, and teachers need more help. The school system is not helping teach the kids the best to their abilities. Plus, the administrators suck as well. Since i was a kid living in Portland, oregon, the school administrators always canceled school beyond the last minute for snow days, resulting in chaos. There's too many things too fix but needa to be done for the kids.
The argument “Parents know best” is so stupid. Who would you go to if your car broke down? A mechanic. Who would you go to if you’re not felling well? A doctor. So why do people feel they know better than educators?
They may not. But guess what? It’s THRIR kids. I. An go to a mechanic or a doctor. But at the end of the day, what comes out of their mouth is advice. I can follow it or ignore it.

We can NOT trust doctors, car mechanics or teachers blindly. A LOT of car mechanics heavily overcharge for repairs or charge you for repairs that they didn’t even do.

That same teacher also decided to include some Trans none-sense when we learned about chromosomes

@@BarbaraGrinder The department was created to improve schools and the statistic on every academic measure show America has fallen greatly since it was created, then yes, that is actually their fault. They failed and made it worse according to their own mission.
@ Sorry, but you are misinformed. It was not created to “improve schools” but to PROMOTE improvement, gather information, assure equal educational opportunities for children with all sorts of disabilities, assure equal opportunities for girls in sports, supervise Pell grants and grants in general. That’s a big difference from your “improve schools.” Please do more research into this topic. Thank you for showing your support for educational improvement in this country. Volunteer in your nearest school. They could use the help.
I laughed when I heard “Parents care about their children the most.” As a retired teacher, that’s laughable. I taught children from all socioeconomic levels, single parent families, immigrants, etc., and most parents stop caring so much once their kids are out of elementary school. Ask any secondary teacher or administrator how much trouble they have contacting parents, getting them to come to the school, or getting them to do anything to help their kids. School is the safest, calmest, most nurturing place many of these kids go, and our society benefits from having educators who care! These ridiculous “school choice” voters have no idea what they’re asking for. Teachers are quitting in droves because no one listens to the people in the trenches actually doing the work!
how does this solve the bad pay teachers are getting? Or the lack of materials in classrooms? Or the gun violence in the country against schools? Prayer in schools does not put food on the plates of these kids incurring lunch debt. It also sickens me that these people are selling the Bible at the same cost of a PS5 game.
It does not solve any of the valid points you made. *Heavy sigh*
No, but religion does provide purpose, worldview, and a moral compass.
@perilousintent2936 it still doesn't reduce tuition for schools, put food on kids plates or prevent students from being shot in schools.
@@ivanleo7522 You're right, however. What I can see good about this is that we now have a moral compass. Crime stats may go down from a collective world view. Religion teaches morality and that whatever bad things a person is going through. That it'll be temporary. Atheism can blur purpose in life. And you start to question it. Sometimes people need a god for them to be happy. So I see this as a generational fix to prevent crime. Many people nowadays are lost.
@perilousintent2936 I don't agree. Religion does not always teach morality. People commit crime because they are desperate, due to income inequality and social injustice. It's not because they need some god. You can keep praying all you want. It still won't address the issues that are being faced. If kids can't eat, or study effectively, and teacher don't get paid enough or get enough learning materials no amount of prayer or Trump Bible's will fix it.

You can pray at any time in school. But allotting time in the day shows a systematic preference for Christianity, which violates the 1st amendment. However, if someone decides to pray out loud and it's not disrupting the class, teachers, administrators, etc should step in if one student decides to bully the religious kid for it, and vice versa

@@sogmalukem2745 Your country will look like Afghanistan or Somalia without eduction. A good supply of educated workers is the reason you have a great economy. You complain about immigrants being unskilled and poor but say you also want more Americans to be unskilled and poor. It makes no sense.
What you have to remember is that there are federal laws involved with the Education national organization. And the funding programs managed through that institution ensure equity across the board. But since King Trump is not only now above the law, he IS THE LAW, he will operate as he once said he would - he seriously stated that as president he could do whatever he wants ( just like a King )
That's "God Emperor" Trump. Have some respect for his official title.
I had to stop when the argument was a parent will care for a child. Dude! That's your argument!? Oklahoma might as well do away with child protective services.
Whats wrong parents taking care of their children??
@@friendlyneighborhoodhuman There is nothing wrong with taking care of children. The problem is that many parents do not and basing policy on the assumption that parents make the right decision is ridiculous. You might as well lower the drinking age to 4 and assume that parents will make the right decision.
@jjg548 how can you assume a pink haired teacher who is teaching children that they are born in a wrong can make the rigjt decision for children??
@friendlyneighborhoodhuman i don't. What argument are you making? Are you saying that because pink haired teachers exist, all parents will properly care for their children? That's a weird position to take.
@ parents make better decisions for their kids than random strangers who have their own ulterior motives..
You have one child in a wheel chair that can force a school to build a new school.
Actually we have 15 children in wheel chairs at my school, along with a dozen or so autistic and other such special needs. But hey, force that one child to stay home because you didn't want to pay for a new ramp and desk at the 50 year old school.
Why people cheer for everything he says… do they even understand what he’s referring to…
Of course not. That's why a lot of them want to end Obamacare and rely on the Affordable Care Act.
"That money could go directly to families"
They simply want to defund and further hobble public schools

You're right but a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance
Not because of ignorance, it's because of the high rate of unprofessionalism in the cypto market
I'm new to cypto trading, feels overwhelming but I won't give up on learning this. Thanks for your clear explanation from the very beginning!
Inflation is going two digit permanently, but they are happy they will learn Ten Commandments.
The student loans part u left out is whats annoying people most. A lot of the country is paying for people to waste money in college only to not get or use the degree then ask tax payers to pay the bill. If Biden didnt keep forgiving student loans he was told he couldnt trumps admin might have left it alone.
A compromise: No funding for Oklahoma.
Let them "pray" for more funding, I'm sure God will give them some cash.
Our federal government is too big. Let’s state run their own system. I 100% agree with this.
Having that version of the Bible in schools is even problematic for Christians who don't recognize the King James version since it omits crucial Books.
I’m with Trump on this one
Cant fix stupid
@ You can actually, by fixing the education system to focus on academics and merit.
@@user-de2zo1bw4d yep like Oklahoma one of the worst states in education.
@@jbone9900 True, it’s broken, hence the need to fix it.
the dude with the second worst public schools in the country thinks its a good idea
Horrible!!
Cope
i don't understand why certain people in power are enforcing religion into laws. what ever happened to church vs state? its in the constitution.
