If Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), the failed vice-presidential candidate, is any more set on running for President in 2028, he might need to take drastic measures such as painting it on his chest. It’s evident he is gearing up for a presidential campaign after his unsuccessful stint with Kamala Harris, relying on a strategy of raising his voice and being assertive to secure the nomination.
Although it remains to be seen whether this approach will work in his favor, it seems that America’s current politician-in-chief is directing his rage towards Department of Education budget cuts, expressing his discontent towards President Donald Trump.

Walz is vocal about the educators who are caught in the crossfire of political battles, emphasizing that they are in the profession of teaching out of passion, not politics. He criticizes the ongoing conflicts, drawing parallels to the mixed outcomes of tariffs, stock markets, and egg prices, cautioning that this time, it involves the future of our children.
Let’s stop there because we aren’t even halfway into this, and Walz has already defeated his own argument. The Department of Education (ED) does not “teach kids.” You’d think a supposed expert on education, as Walz proclaims to be, would be aware of that. Or is he just lying to further a false narrative? Either way, Democrats love to pretend the ED is vital to the education of children while never telling people how.
That’s because if they did, they’d have to admit that the ED is nothing more than a bureaucratic grant hub. It does not “teach kids.” It doles out taxpayer money, sometimes on political grounds, to local school districts. With that in mind, is there any evidence that cutting half its workforce will stop the flow of those grants? Or stop the administration of federal student loans (which have been an absolute disaster for students and the university system, but that’s another discussion)?
If you ask the average person what an ED employee does, they probably couldn’t even tell you, and that’s because no one really knows. Does it actually take over 4,000 workers to hand out grant money to local districts? And how many of those 4,000 workers were moonlighting while collecting a government check to essentially do nothing? Aren’t those the relevant questions here? Instead of answering those, Walz screams that any cuts will harm children. Well, how exactly? He doesn’t say because Democrats never say. You are supposed to just accept their premise.
But here’s the thing. If these ED employees truly want to “teach kids,” I’ve got good news for them. They can! There are teaching positions open all over the country they can seek to fill. Have at it.
WALZ: He has no idea how education works. He has no idea how these work. He has no idea how any of this works. Reallocating them to what? These are professionals that understand. These are civil rights attorneys that understand and making sure that we get it right. These are educational experts that research. When we talk about research, we’re not reading Newsmax online. It’s peer-reviewed studies about what brain science looks like and how you get an impact. These people have no idea on this. That this is just a random dude who came in to say cut money, and this is a place, yeah, you know, it is a place where we spend money because it’s our future, and they’re just randomly cutting it.
Oh, so these aren’t people who just want to “teach kids?” Glad we got that straight. Instead, we learn they are “civil rights attorneys.” But wait, don’t we already have a civil rights department at the Department of Justice? My favorite assertion by Walz, though, is that these are “experts that research,” studying brain function to boost education results.
If that’s true, then shouldn’t they all be fired for their colossal failure? Since the creation of the ED, educational outcomes have not risen for students across the country. But you see, we aren’t allowed to point that out because bureaucrats can never do any wrong. They can’t be held accountable. Instead, we must just keep shoveling money into overpaid government jobs that aren’t producing results for children. Why? Because Tim Walz says so.
Americans have figured out the game, and that’s why they elected Donald Trump. They are sick of these sacred cows sucking up cash while having no marked impact (or worse). The ED will continue to operate will less staff. The grants will keep going out. Financial aid will keep being delivered. That’s because a significant number of people working there were doing nothing of value. Watch and see.
