I got a kick out of the fact that you posted this with the tag line "MAGA!," revealing once again that you don't really read things.

Not only was the test administered in the Spring of 2025, just a few months after Trump took office, but

"The results come as reading scores among U.S. fourth and eighth grade students worsened in 2024, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, dubbed the nation's report card."

Lol.

I got a kick out of the fact that there will no longer be a DEPT of EDUCATION to try and improve test scores.

Because that's how you MAGA under Donald J. Bone Spurs

So much for reading comprehension.
Sad really.

So, you didn't read the article you originally posted and blamed Trump for something that he had little or nothing to do with and you are justifying it because you recall an article from March 2026?

Perhaps, you have a justifiable fear that Trump's abolishment of the Department of Ed, which was failing according to your article, won't improve these failing scores. Perhaps you should say such instead of blaming MAGA. Clearly, you were wrong with your teat score post and clearly you won't admit you were wrong. Nothing changes on this board.

You mean the Department of Graft? Mississippi dramatically improved their lower grade scores simply by going back to the basics, hard cutoff at third grade (have to be reading proficiently), reading specialists, etc..

What do you expect scores to do when you import in millions of students illiterate in two languages?

Serious question:

It doesn't sound like you really enjoy living in the United States given our immigration policy and your belief that illegal immigrants have taken away good jobs from Americans who were born here. Your posts highlighting this theme in this forum have led me to believe this.

It sounds like a country like Hungary would be more to your liking given that they've embraced white nationalism under Viktor Orban. In fact, CPAC Hungary hosts a number of speakers that you have repeatedly highlighted here such as Jack Posobiec, Ben Shapiro, etc.

I'm curious, have you ever considered moving out of the U.S. to a country that embraces your beliefs?

Good to hear we're arresting the "real" criminals




Article I read said "convicted by a judge". Where's the jury?

The charge was a misdemeanor, which can sometimes command a jail sentence, but seldom a trial by jury. It would cost the government too much for such a petty offense.


Nothing petty about about a 6 month sentence (even if suspended). Sounds like a violation of the Constitution to me - the Supreme Court is wrong again.

I don't think so. AI tells me that the Constitution does not dictate parenting rules or child safety regulations. Instead, child supervision, neglect, and welfare laws are handled at the state and local levels, which I think may be what happened in this case. I think there are lawyers on this forum. Maybe one would like to give us an opinion. I agree with you about the punishment being very excessive, even if suspended.

Maybe instead of attributing this to the Department of Education (which had never shown any positive effect on the quality or effectiveness of our K-12 educational results), we might start to have an educated discussion on the fact that this is a problem that goes beyond politics.

Of course you do.

All you have to do is look at the numbers showing the large dip in democrats being proud to be an America now vs in the past.

The decline probably has to do with the country being $40 TRILLION in DEBT and the worst President in U.S. History currently in office who took people's healthcare away and jacked everyone's fuel prices through the roof.



Similarly, a Gallop Poll shows that only 53% of Americans are VERY PROUD to be an American.
And that poll was taken back in late April of this year.

Last time I checked, America still embraced sports cars like the Corvette and the Indy 500. Also Formula One and IMSA where German marques are prominent.

Not everyone is driving a computer or a mini van.

Some people still actually enjoy driving a high performance vehicle in America.
