As Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy prepare to take a chainsaw to government spending via DOGE, one of the most absurd and illogical arguments the Left clings to is the notion we need to better fund public education, and their meltdowns over the possible end of the Department of Education.

Public education -- government schools -- is abysmally bad. In places like Baltimore, there are schools where zero students are proficient in reading or math. yet government keeps throwing money into school coffers (read: the pockets of teachers' unions) telling us that'll 'solve' the problem.

You'd think the Left would learn this by now. But they went to those government schools, so learning isn't their strong suit:

But Mr. Collins got a real world education in just how wrong he is.

Spending more and getting terrible results.

But without administrators, who would teach kids there are 57 genders and that Heather has two mommies?

They might learn math if we fired a few DEI managers.

Most private schools do a better job educating students for far less. As do homeschoolers.

They're fine with the districts being bad so long as the unions get their cut.

They contend that money is being misallocated, primarily benefiting teachers' unions rather than enhancing education.</p><p>Supporters of this view highlight that despite the U.S. spending more per pupil than any other country, literacy rates continue to decline. They suggest that the focus should shift from funding to reforming the educational culture and administrative structures, advocating for state control over education funding to better address local needs. #education</p>
