Sunny Hostin from “The View” and Don Lemon are pushing a wild idea about President Trump’s plan to shut down the Department of Education. They claim Trump wants to keep Americans dumb so they’ll vote Republican. This theory ignores the real problems with the DOE after decades of failure.
Conservatives say the Department of Education has wasted money and hurt kids. Test scores in reading and math have dropped even though the DOE spends billions. Trump’s team argues local control lets parents and teachers decide what’s best, not faraway bureaucrats. Linda McMahon, Trump’s pick for Education Secretary, said schools work better when they’re close to the community.
The DOE has pushed radical ideas in classrooms, like telling kids they’re either oppressors or victims based on their skin color. President Trump signed an order to stop this brainwashing and protect parents’ rights. Schools should teach kids to love America, not hate it.
Democrats like Hostin and Lemon act like cutting the DOE will starve kids. But the truth is, the DOE’s food programs and teacher training haven’t fixed anything. Many schools are worse now than before the DOE started. Letting states handle education means they can fix their own problems without Washington’s rules.
Some people on Twitter called out Hostin and Lemon for flipping the script. They said Democrats are the ones keeping kids uneducated by pushing politics instead of reading and math. One user joked, “The DOE’s job was to make kids smart? Then why are test scores so bad?”
Trump’s plan gives power back to parents. They should decide if their kids learn about gender ideology or the basics. The government has no business hiding lessons from moms and dads. This is about freedom, not control.
School choice is a big part of the plan. Letting kids use vouchers to pick their school means poor families aren’t stuck in bad schools. Alyssa Farah Griffin on “The View” even admitted vouchers help kids escape failing classrooms.
Sunny Hostin says education was her “great equalizer,” but she sent her own kids to private school. Conservatives ask: Why not let all parents choose good schools? Shutting the DOE isn’t about keeping people dumb—it’s about giving every kid a fair shot at success.
