Op-ed: Early Education in The United States of 2026-27. John E. Staff Editor.
Topics: School districts' insolvency, State-to-State District Demographics and Cultural Maintenance, Race and Religion, the Dissolution of the US Department of Education, the US Treasury and Student loans. Et.al.
What happens when US education is left completely up to individual US States to determine and manage and fund?
The United States, led by President Donald Trump, has decided to end the US Department of Education during this Presidential term. The department is the national agency for collaborative work involving US education issues, and also budgeting for education throughout the whole country. Trump's idea is that education belongs wholly to each of the US States to decide upon, but recent studies of such State-priority-only educational effects in US States such as New York, show that State economics and local government decisions to arbitrarily remove programs such as Head Start and Common Core, such as what happened in New York in the early 2000's, leads to diminished student progress and lower overall students' grades and levels of literacy and competence in basic studies classes. Multicultural Studies and US Civil Rights History classes, and graduation requirement classes in K-12 and higher grade levels tend to suffer as well, due to the lack of nationally-accessible research information that transcends State-level-only civics subjects and classes.
The ending of US national expectations and development and maintenance of standard national measures for student success-or failure- at the grade school levels of academics, notwithstanding Trump's emphasis on rewarding only physical fitness-will create national academics policies per State that are woefully incomplete when compared to the existing basic educational curriculums already taught within and throughout every US State. They are subject to change at present, because of the elimination of the main national educational oversight agency.

Commentary by John E. Staff Editor.
Ever since the MAGA Republicans, led by Donald Trump, won the last US Presidential election, a great national divide has been wrought in the US involving religion, especially Christian religion, or conversely, the lack thereof. MAGA supporters point to the last Biden Presidency, where their accusations of atheism, illicit drug use in the White House, a preponderance of gay rights issues and the maintenance of excessively porous US national borders constituted a major set of current and existing US Democrat political "stances" that they blame on liberals specifically, and US Democrats rather redundantly. US President Trump himself has often notoriously criticized, cursed at, demeaned and belittled US Democrat colleagues in Congress and in public without ever mentioning the word "balance" in US lawmaking, pertaining to the major two US political parties and the "other half" of the US voting public who didn't vote for him. Instead, ALL of the blame is shifted to ALL Democrats, and ALL US Democrat policies, and especially towards proponents of Democratic Socialism, which in fact constitutes only a minority group of active US Democrat politicians and US Democrat voters who personally support an unpopular political viewpoint when compared to the vast majority of religiously and politically conservative US Democrats. Even DINO's, ("Democrats in Name Only") people who are listed as Democrat but support traditionally Republican economic values, still exist! The nominal divisions between the two parties have been increasingly exacerbated by Trump and his followers ever since Trump first attained to the office of US President, and the complexity of Christian Democrats in the USA who tend to be more quiet in public gatherings and yet politically active in favor of ALL Americans, Republicans and Independents included, hasn't received much positive press these days!
In a much touted effort to "win back the soul" of the US Democrat party, US Democrats and a few US Republicans have endeavored to remember the reasons why they joined either party, and what each party actually was made to represent in part or in full, before being made subject to public opinions, false accusations, misleading, over or false punishments by Donald Trump for "disloyalty" and many other "hits" that are not only psychological but also costly in terms of efforts where legality was involved in defending oneself or others from such public and private attacks by an elected official such as Trump, who spends a lot of time, apparently, going after his personal foes, people who have either threatened his legitimacy as US President or disagree with his executive orders and policy directions.

Thoughts, pondering and meandering by John E. Staff Editor.
Can any US independent political party save the US from becoming a "new country" that potentially discards US Constitutional laws and adopts new contradictory policies that destroy the laws of the US and replace them with some new ideology or ideologies? Let's take a look at currently existing US independent parties and see what they are proposing while retaining basic American laws and personal values involving any or all US Americans and our foreign neighbors.

It's not RFK's fault. I'll say this repeatedly from hence forward that any negativity or bad decisions currently taking place within the US Health and Human Services Department and their associated Federal agencies aren't any result of US HHS Secretary Kennedy's good intentions for the MAHA "Make America Healthy Again" movement.
