In the 1960s, Afghan women studied alongside men at Kabul University. Today, Afghanistan is the only country where girls’ education is illegal. It has been 705 days since the Taliban banned women from universities.

Man convicted of sex crimes nominates woman accused of child sex crimes to be in charge of childhood education

What if the Dept. of Education vanished? It's more than just curriculum - it protects civil rights, funds schools, manages student loans, and collects vital data. Without it, schools lose funding, protections weaken, and rural areas suffer most. State plans for our kids matter.

Trump's 10 point plan for education:
- eliminate the Dept. of Education
- cut federal funding
- promote Christian Nationalism
- attack teacher's unions
- give public money to for-profit private schools
He warned us, and you voted for him anyway.

Trump’s mastery of disinformation has caused people to vote against their own self-interest.
His playbook is the same as Russia’s: promote declinism, demonize and scapegoat, stoke outrage, divide and conquer. 4/4 END

Interesting that Harris won white men & white women who had a college degree. I bet having a college degree gives you more critical thinking skills to sort out the endless stream of BS & disinformation coming from the right. Of course Republicans want to constantly cut education.

If you are turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don't walk away. Say this:
I REQUEST A PROVISIONAL BALLOT AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
Don't let them steal your vote.

It’s really important that everyone you know has accurate information about when and where to vote. Today is the day to ask your friends and family if they have a voting plan.
Make sure to share iwillvote.com far + wide.

Trump will defund any school teaching Black History.
Interestingly enough, Project 2025 outlines this, but Trump knows nothing…(eye roll)
This is a coordinated attack on education.
Plan: Remove gender studies, remove African American studies, remove fact-based history, remove anything relative to inclusion and diversity, and insert radical far-right propaganda.
Demolishing the Department of Education is as anti-child as one can get.

This is why Republicans want to get rid of the Department of Education. The dumbing down of America is the goal. These guys are dangerous idiots. #DemsUnited

This election isn't just about Trump, it's about stopping the radical rich from pushing the worst education policy money can buy in TX. Vouchers are a costly, ideological-driven scam w/ a tainted past persistently failing to improve student achievement. Use your vote against any voucher-supporting candidate.

Imagine a world where low-income schools lose funding and teachers are hired based on ‘patriotic values’ — that’s Trump’s plan for education

In 1847, Missouri banned education for black people.
John Berry Meachum went ahead and equipped a steamboat with a library, desks, chairs and opened a 'Floating Freedom School'.
A THREAD!

Donald Trump went on Fox News and said he would shut down the Dept. of Education and cut funding to school districts that teach actual US history.
These are both key pieces of Project 2025.
Here's what else you need to know about the plan written for Trump's second term.

🔥 NEW: "Fascism has landed in America!" Throughout history, gullible Conservatives—lacking education and resources—have often turned to authoritarian figures like Trump and Elon Musk for protection.
But we KNOW our power! No authoritarian regime can withstand the united will of the people committed to freedom. Our resolve is STRONG!
