Speak Up: How could Agenda 47 education policies impact Delaware?

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House later this month, the former president and his congressional Republican allies are committed to advancing his extensive policy agenda. Along the campaign trail and in the months since his election win, he has touted his Agenda 47 platform, which includes a range of topics from immigration reform to economic policy. A large focus of the platform is education, and the former president has included a variety of bold initiatives — perhaps most notably, returning education to the states.

• These last few elections showed how easy it is to control the poorly educated using emotion instead of logic, by force-feeding them rage-inducing propaganda. Of course the right wants to further degrade the quality of education in this country; it will only make it easier for them to gain more power. — Scott Ryan
• Eliminating the Department of Education can only benefit the nation. — Bob Hice
