Education Department. They used to be Department of Education, but they lost the battle for the DOE acronym with the Department of Energy, apparently nukes win.
Ah, thought so but I remember them as DOE. My wife is a teacher and we’ve been worrying about this. She’s super apolitical and rarely follows the news but watched the inauguration and had the nightly news on every day. I’m the other way and been telling her for months.
It’s going to suck but I’ve got plans A-F tead up.
Our industry is pretty convinced the worst case is all curriculum goes to the states, and all the funding parts get shoved to another department. After all major GoP donors feed off the ED titty, and they’ll cry a lot if that gets cut off.
Teachers biggest problem is that the public school system will buckle, which is the point of the whole change. Charter school teachers won’t be better off, they’re going to have to fight for more of the voucher money than the administration and investors in the schools, while politicians will be trying to cut that budget. And charter schools aren’t going to have the union protections that public schools have.
ED?

Curios, what are your backup plans? Asking for a friend who has no idea what to actually do in the face of this chaos (that friend might be me)
Food, water, currency, defensive weapons, etc. Set within reach where ever and planned places to go by land, sea, or air to gtfo of the USA if needed.
