The orange man baby has signed an executive order to dismantle the department for education. Not cut, not reform or reshape... Dismantle. I wonder when he'll decree that books should be burnt?
If you want to know what they are doing its all a part of this nonsense. A Right wing, Christian think tank. Every single part of it has been in this manifesto since last year. So it was available to US Voters. Basically, turning the US into an Authoritarian state led by bonkers right wing church fanaticism. A bit like Russia but on religious acid. https://www.project2025.org/ I'd hazard a guess that theres a connection to that think tank and Russian funding/money.
I vaguely recall Trumpiots saying project 2025 was fiction and no way would such a thing be enacted if he got in. Sadly, and not for the first time, that notion has been shown to be somewhat wrong.
That link should come with a health warning. I got as far as "deport illegal aliens" before I gave up. Moronic.

I don't think they use them. Literacy Levels Among American Adults Challenges Faced: Over half of American adults (54%) read below a sixth-grade level. Almost 1 in 5 adults reads below a third-grade level, showing significant gaps in reading ability.
Its not much better here "One in five Britons aged between 16 and 65 can only read at or below the level expected of a 10-year-old, according to a major new study of literacy rates across the developed world"

Probably got their eyes on dominating the Commonwealth Games and taking the Lion’s share of the medals. What a boost for MAGA eh
And of course Hegseth attacks the journalist. Every potential check on absolute power gets attacked or dismantled. See also the grip he's got on the Kennedy Centre (theatre and performing arts venue) where he's gained chairman of the board status and sacked 18 board members to replace them with maga cronies and acolytes. I'm sure this cabal allege they believe in free speech. Yet it seems more akin to totalitarianism.
