Doraemon school bus in Japan.

At high school, I often felt like the odd one out — and my PE teacher didn’t exactly make things easier!

(It took until my forties before I began to understand why, after getting an autism diagnosis.)

Dismantling the Department of Education is just the tip of the iceberg. Like all of Trump’s initiatives, his gutting of public education is going to be a huge give away to the ultra-rich. It aligns with a Republican voucher plan to divert $5-10 billion in public funds to private, parochial and homeschooling. It would be funded through a scam in which the ultra-wealthy could “donate” to voucher programs and then get 100% of their money back when they file their taxes—a tax break that would dwarf those given for donating to churches, hospitals, food banks and all other charities. This, in turn, would rapidly increase enrollment in unregulated, for-profit schools, that could teach MAGA-approved curriculum, like the “1776 Report,” while enforcing non-union workplaces. Furthermore, private schools can reject students based on their religion, test scores, and disability, the latter of which also aligns with Trump’s goal of gutting Title I and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
