Can you prove there is an agenda and show what it looks like and how it affects students?

All education has an agenda.
Nothing wrong with that as long as the agenda ensures teaching core subjects and prepares students for life.
Maybe you eliminate the current Dept of Education and build a new one back up. At a national level I think a base stem curriculum needs to be enforced whether through dept of education or some other agency. No guidelines outside these core subjects should be enforced. Right now, federal funds are still deployed on some of these non academic base metrics.
I believe states should have autonomy to control the rest of curriculum without federal intervention. This is where they can enforce things like having a systematic racism curriculum etc. Some states will prosper, some will not. Similar to free market capitalism, the states the produce academic results will see an influx of people, and as a result money from these people flowing in. My hope is that this will provide a blueprint of what works and what doesn’t.
When you rely on federal intervention, you have only a few people making the decisions. This is where bias comes in and creates an inefficient school system.

I dont see what you are proposing to be different from how it is today.
If it was upto me I would make controversial topics such as critical race theory federally mandated subjects.
''Treat people how you want to be treated''...There now you don't need those classes.
If people really lived by that adage, we wouldn't have had discrimination of all kinds and a need for this to be taught in schools.
I'm sorry to inform you, but your belief is wrong.
So provide proof for the claim.
What are all these "agendas" and how they are in education.
All this is unneeded and would be too convoluted. Probably out of their jurisdiction.
It should all be delegated to the state gov and they form the curriculum. The federal gov should only look at the aggregate outcome as that data can be used to identify advantages/disadvantages (ex. trades, sciences etc).
States like California and New York already have a major advantages over ones like Nebraska. It should be up to the state to implement change and the people vote on what needs to be changed.
I don't want this thread to get out of control, so I'll say look up Ron DeSantis and Florida Education.
Maybe you are correct. I appreciate the disagreement without the baseless cop out of diverting to Trump, MAGA, or social intolerance.
Why on earth would you think that trump/Musk would build a new public education system after cutting the Dept of Education?
As desiricardo said, maybe there needs to be federal oversight. Like I mentioned before Frankie, you Palestinian loving fool. You need to eliminate the whole organization to eliminate the wokeness built in. You can’t simply restructure or leave any portion of the current one remaining.
you want to cancel black history from the school curriculum? LOL.
Because that's how you get more students to meet the standard. There's only two ways to achieve this.
Either they come up to the standard, which decades of intervention have failed to do. Or the standard comes down to them.
Then you get back to why Americans are so dumb, the topic of this thread. Why do we punish success and reward failure.
