    Directly from ed.gov:

    In creating the Department of Education, Congress specified that: No provision of a program administered by the Secretary or by any other officer of the Department shall be construed to authorize the Secretary or any such officer to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum, program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution, school, or school system

    Don’t let anyone tell you they’re just getting rid of “woke dei curriculum”, they’re trying to screw over all the people who need the help of things like an IEP or 504 Plan by cutting staff for those programs, end subsidized loans, grants, etc for those who can’t afford college, you get the point. Be very glad that if you were able to get an education before this point that you did, and expect the interest rate on your student loans to go up…

      I still have 2 years left to finish my degree and now I won’t even be able to pay for it. Not that I won’t be forced to move for my own safety

        I’m in the same boat, I’m just really hoping this administration collapses (either by itself or by enough external influence) soon. I suppose one silver lining might be that there is no provisions in our constitution that can stop or postpone an election, even in war

          The collapse of this country is the only thing I have left to look forward to, everything else is just spiraling down and down

          So the options are:

          1. the situation gets better on its own
          2. someone from elsewhere comes to save America from itself

          Seems there’s a third option that also happens to be the only legitimate one.

            Looking backwards, option 1 is definitely the least likely because before the election they told us, in great detail, what would happen if he won without any kind of worry they let the cat out of the bag. They were 10 steps ahead of everyone and probably still are.
