The fed gov could lower their taxes that are used for it, and the states could raise theirs. The fed should not be taking care of states except helping in emergency situations. States should be taking care of themselves financially.

I get what you’re saying, but you’re also saying some states are too dumb. If their leaders are too dumb, then they can replace their leaders, same as we do with the fed gov.

Well, non-citizens aren’t protected under the first amendment. I agree though, he should be able to express his opinions without getting in trouble for it. But from the articles I read, it sounded like physical things happened at the protests. Maybe not from him specifically (I don’t know), but because he is not a citizen, he does not have all the same rights as a citizen. As it has been since before the current administration, if a non-citizen is suspected as a possible threat to the country based on speech alone, then the government deals with them, first by investigating the situation. The few articles I read were all general and not specific so I don’t know the full reason, or what he actually said at the protests. So I try not to make opinions on these things without plenty of info.

To start, he is not a US citizen. Yes, he is here legally. But when you are not a citizen, you have to be more careful what you say, this is how it’s been since way before Trump became president. You do not have all the same rights as a citizen, when you are not a citizen. I read a couple articles about him, but I am not aware of what all happened with the previous protests, sounds like others got in trouble as well.

“Oh no, what will we ever do if the federal government doesn’t set our standards? We are too dumb to set our own standards!”

I’m pretty sure the states can figure it out on their own. And any school can feel free to set their own standards even higher if they wish.

Yeah, I’ll read it.

Guess I haven’t heard about that one.

It is why we have states.

The removal of the DOE will just allow states to be in charge of their schools, instead of the federal gov. It doesn’t need to be federalized. Most things should be state run, not federal run. The point of having states is so people can more choice in what they want for themselves.

If you like the way state B operates better than the state F operates, then you have the ability to either move to State F, or to work on convincing those in state B to change the way they operate. But when the fed runs it, you’re stuck with it.

Are you referring to illegal aliens?

Protest for what? Not sure if you are referring to something in particular, or just in general.

The majority of people were tired of the democrats, and like what the republicans are doing. Under Biden for the past 4 years, I saw way more people who were democrat become republican, than I saw republicans become democrat.

I’ve seen one protest where I live, and there were maybe 30 people there.

Umm, removal of DOE does not remove schools.

Not having non-destructive editing has kept me from using gimp. I tried but just couldn’t use it. I’ll have to try again.
