In reply to the discussion: Education Secretary Linda McMahon confuses AI with A1, sauce brand capitalizes on blunder [View all]brush
(59,689 posts)29. Guess they think funding cuts will only affect blue districts/states.
Not of course. But that doesn't seem to matter to them as witnessed by McMahon being appointed Education Sec'y.
I contend however that poor education leads to fewer and fewer people in positions of power to actually make good decisions on...oh wait. I think we've already gotten there (see trump as president and his cabinet appointees)
From Steven Miller to Kash Patel to DOD Sec'y Hedseth to bribe taker Bondi as AG down to MaMahan, and here we are.
We're so screwed.
