Trump wants to privatise education in United States (Times Radio)
Ovidia Molina, president of the Texas State Teachers Association, says Donald Trump wants to close the Department of Education in order to privatise education in the United States.
He will reduce the US educational establishment to a gigantic private school system, which means that large chunks of it will collapse. Except for Catholic parish schools, private day schools last maybe 25 years at their best, and that's after a bunch of name changes or changes in location thanks to ownership changes. Trump is dooming the poorest states to shutting down huge numbers of public schools, because they will not find buyers. This situation is madness.
