Because protecting private for-profit education was what the Department of Education under Trump did (see Florida).

What if we gave to teachers a fraction of the attn & support we give to police? How about 100,000 new teachers,w/ supports to community colleges and state schools to prepare and fast track prepared teachers. What about increasing teacher salaries across the board? https://t.co/qJfi6huUpk

Donald Trump appeared to call for the abolition of the US Department of Education during his keynote speech at CPAC.

The former president hit out at what he sees as a left-wing takeover of education policy and suggested that “federal bureaucrats” are pushing to radicalise children through the school system.

“If federal bureaucrats are going to push this radicalism, we should abolish the Department of Education,” Mr Trump said triggering a huge round of applause.

He also called the system “sick”.
