With a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court lifted an injunction to allow President Donald Trump’s Education Department to continue layoffs.
Take a wild guess who dissented.
In May, U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Boston placed the injunction on the layoffs because “they had deeply disrupted services for students, families and states, making processes less efficient.”
Joun also claimed the layoffs would complicate matters, making it hard for the department to perform the tasks mandated by Congress.
The majority of SCOTUS justices did not pen an opinion or explanation.
The usual suspects published their usual whiny end-of-the-world dissent. *eye roll*
This dissent is over 18 pages. Blah blah blah. Government belongs in education. Only Congress can dismantle a department. People are losing their jobs!
(Do I really need to read this whole thing? Ugh. I despise the Department of Education!)
The dissenters acted as if Trump and Secretary Linda McMahon literally demolished the department.
The ladies kept using the word “abolish.”
Sure, “Trump repeatedly called for the immediate abolition of the Department both during his campaign and after taking office.” McMahon immediately slashed half the workforce, describing it as “the first step on the road to a total shutdown.”
Since when do we make decisions not based on “facts?”
Gutting a department is not abolishing the department. Unfortunately, the Education Department will continue to exist until Congress grows a spine and takes a match to it.
If states struggle so much without the department, then maybe, just maybe, the states should invest more in their public schools.
Maybe, just maybe, the cities/towns should invest more in their public schools.
Stop. Relying. On. The. Federal. Government. Keep education as local as possible.
If you cannot tell, I hate the Education Department. Hate hate hate it.
