Somewhat fake news. The picture is from October, but apparently they can't decide on a consistent misspelling over there. Is it Louisanna or Lousiana?
In fairness, depending on where you are in Louisiana or Mississippi, Lousiana definitely sounds right.
That picture is one of many reasons why DoE is being dismantled.
When you use economic coercion to force pornography and common core math on schools, while price-per-pupil skyrockets and testing plummets,
you deserve every bit of fire and sulphur that rains upon you.

Well, maybe. But the argument is to send it all back to the states where it belongs (where most of it resides now anyhow). In this case, the state of Louisnana. Not sure we can expect the results will be any better...
Fair point, but properly teaching young coonassses the correct techniques on how to prepare perfect shrimp and grits is superlative to anything the DoE has shoved down school boards’ throats in the past 30 years.
Shop class, home economics, and the vocational arts need to come back in a big way. If the southern states make a concerted effort to use that money for vocational training, the south may see the largest manufacturing and technical shift this country has seen since reconstruction.
We’re teaching our kids how to score high on some test, instead of teaching them valuable life skills and how to solve problems.
Agree with all that - except I think you'll see states in all regions get wise to that. Especially important given the employment risk associated with AI.
Average teacher's salary in the United State is a little more than 58,000.00. The average pay at the Department of Education is 150,000.00. There just seems something fundamentally wrong with that plus they probably been working from home the past four years and don't have to put up with disrespectful students. Shut it down.
Something else that seems wrong. Teachers make 58K or less nationally, but the Federal Government can give 400 million to Columbia University. That's a really rich private school that probably has billions in endowments. What other millions are going to rich private colleges? What we are doing as nation has to change.
