Mike Rounds submitted bill that needs supermajority to pass, unlikely even in GOP-controlled Senate next year

Summary

Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced the Returning Education to Our States Act, aiming to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, a long-time Republican goal aligned with Trump’s agenda.

The bill proposes redistributing the department’s $200 billion budget and responsibilities to other federal agencies and states, such as shifting federal student loans to the Treasury.

Critics warn this could undermine protections for students with disabilities and marginalized groups.

While the bill faces significant political hurdles, it reflects broader GOP efforts to reduce federal influence over education policy.

    Republicans are, in fact, fucking you. Because all you do is complain online like all the other democrats.

    We lost to an orange rapist criminal because losers like you don’t protest with guns, and just finger waggle until the cops break it up.

    Grow some balls like the Black Panther party and buy a fucking gun and protest peacefully or continue arguing from your basement while Republicans gut our programs that help the disenfranchised without consequences.
