  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The action will not affect the institute’s primary work, including the NAEP assessment, known as the nation’s report card, and the College Scorecard, a database of university costs and outcomes, Education Department spokesperson Madison Biedermann said.

Kind of like Trump on Covid.
If you stop testing to understand the depth of a problem, then the problem goes away.

Whatever depth of the problem that called for creating the dept of education seems confused at best. As matters stood in late 2015, failures seemed to exceed successes. Maybe great strides occurred in between 2015-2024, but that would include Trump in the mix ( maybe despite that as a temporary downturn?).



What to do with it, I don’t know, but to assume it has done much good seems murky.

I can quote it for you, I can even put it in bold letter so it is easily seen.

I cannot help someone comprehend what is plainly stated.

Yes, kind of like the claim DOGE would only have read access.
Sorry if I take Trump admin claims with a grain of salt.
A rather large one.

It's amazing - for close to 35 years the Democrats and Republicans have bloviated about eliminating waste and excess spending - President Trump is the only one with enough back bone to do more that talk about it. And people are complaining about him doing what former presidents said needed to get done. Incredible!
