Why all the hate for the Department of Education? Because it gave money for education to black people.
Oh sure, it was there to help 'lower income' people but to a conservative that meant black people. Urban people. Them people. Not clean white blond and blue eyed kids - but brown kids with kinky hair.
Pure racism.
Oh sure, the rabid (heretical) Christians are all slobbering over the chance to take over the schools and talk about Jesus all day- but it's Christian Nationalism they'll be preaching. White Christian Nationalism. How they saved the heathen Native Americans (infected them with diseases, waged war on them, slaughtered them whole sale, drove them from their lands, broke every treaty) and established a Shining City on the Hill - that White people rule. White men mostly. Straight white men.
Yeah, religious schools all the way - just don't expect to see any headed by a black preacher. Oh no. It's white folks all the way down. The only black folks you'll see are the ones with mops and maybe some serving in the cafeteria. Maybe a token house n***** (cough cough Clarence Thomas) but that's about it.
Black kids? Let them darkies start their own schools.
It's going to be a real pity that those rural white folks who'll feel so smug for sticking it the blacks (and liberals of course) are going to lose big time = because rural schools get lots of money from the DOE.
Don't get me started on the PBS/NPR funding. That's personal.
