If the ‘rona lockdowns showed us anything, it’s how completely disinterested teachers unions are in education. Teachers unions nationwide used the shutdowns to demand ridiculous policy concessions having nothing to do with educating children, so of course Biden plans to add them to the Department of Education.
Corey DeAngelis, Director of School Choice at the Reason Foundation, noted that according to the official transition website, Biden’s department of education team is as follows:
Department of Education
The Department of Education team will also review the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Really though:

The members of the transition for all of the departments include names and affiliations that are hair raising to say the least. The Department of Ed is not alone, but I weep for the students because it is not their interests that those folks will protect.

For local elections, particularly school board, I never know who the candidates are and they often run with no Party affiliation.
So, when I go to vote, I stop by the D’s table – invariably staffed with teacher’s union members – and get their slate of candidates.
That way, I always know exactly who I should vote against.
I’m not that sharp. I just don’t vote for anyone with a Doctorate, and women with hyphenated names.
It’s amazing how people give themselves away. via initials or punctuation marks.
Great idea
Thanks for the useful tip.
I always assume if they don’t show an R then they are Dim.
Haven’t been wrong yet with that system.
Biden and the Death March of his Ghouls…….
This means trillion dollar bailouts for CA, IL, NY and NJ.
And you will PAY, citizen!
I am afraid under the Biden Putsch we will be in for some sad times for the no worke peasant class. But Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos will do just fine.
Department of Education needs to be dissolved. It serves no purpose except to get the federal government involved with what is taken care of at a local level.
One of the worst things to come from Jimmy Carter.
I bet I get more nonsensical junk I have to do/teach while the people at the top of the edutainment industry get a lot more money.
It’s payback for all the Teacher union dues going to Democrats
So we let the people indoctrinating our kids have more power?
Everything that we don’t want will be in the Biden administration.
He’s the Anti-Santa.
Satan never rests, there is no sabbath for evil.
Abortion is beyond the pale of humanity but less pervasive than government mandated public indoctrination.
If they didn’t kill them in the womb, the “teachers” will handle it in the class-room.
He hasn’t won anything
How about we stop posting crap about Biden as of he is the President?
LOVE IT!
This will be my last comment in an article like this. I will be ignoring henceforth.
Did you say we should stop laying down like Republicans???????
OOPS!!!!!!!
Just going to predict an assault on home schooling like we haven’t seen before.
No surprise, when you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas. The powerful Leftists don’t care about your kids, their offspring attend private schools.
Unions are like little communist organizations. It’s arguable that there is a place for them but not public sector unions. All public sector unions are political organizations to generate votes and to launder money.
Waiting for enough phony ballots to be thrown out to make clear Trump’s win.
Computer programming is not my field of expertise, but I am something of an expert at recognizing expertise at work.

This is where the big numbers are, in a large number of States.
I suspect we will not have to worry about the Harris transition team.
Wonder if anyone has sent that to President Trump.
So do we have a pool on how many minutes it will take the Biden administration before they strip constitutional protections from sexual assault charged defendants in schools again?
So there goes school choice and the charter school program. Why do black Americans vote Democratic? I guess to keep their kids in lousy public schools.
Teacher’s Unions: All your children are belong to us.
And yet parents willingly send their children to our lousy, corrupt public schools. Why? Because it is EASY. Our children, who should be our most precious assets, are abandoned to poorly-run government institutions for the vast majority of their developing years because we are just too damned lazy to take on the responsibility of educating them ourselves. I think you can safely put me on Team Cynical.
The first thing is to make school choice for every one, period. Next, close the federal education department and leave this to the states. The ban unions from the public sector.
