Bill Maher offered surprise support for the controversial policy of President Trump to delete the Ministry of Education.
The Talk Show -Gastheer called shockingly poor educational statistics among American children, because he admitted that dismantling the department might be the best solution.
“It's not like the children are getting smarter,” he said.
“I mean, the figures are getting worse and worse and worse. And I don't know if the Ministry of Education … I don't know what it does except take money. It is a kind of intermediary. '
Congressman Byron Donalds in Florida, a close Trump bondmate and one of Maher's guests in his show Friday, added that the department 'should be closed in essence'.
“A lot of authority must be sent back to the States,” said Donalds.
“The dollars we apply must actually come into the hands of parents, so that they can use those resources in their states and in their communities to find the best results for their children.”
It comes when the Trump administration has started preparing an executive order to delete the Ministry of Education, as part of being with Elon Musk-driven campaign to greatly reduce the size of the federal government.

Donalds said that his support for Trump's plan to tidy the department is due to shockingly poor educational standards in American children.
“When the Ministry of Education was founded in 1977, our Leesscores and Maths scores for children were fourth and eighth grade higher than they are now,” he said.
“So it didn't work.”
Maher then hit the former Staff Chef of the White House Rahm Emanuel's criticism of the removal of the department.
'Rahm Emanuel, with whom I agree on almost everything here, had a quote. He said, “A third of the eighth classes can't read, and now he wants to close the department?” And I thought, that's probably the reason why they can't read, or at least partly, “said Maher.
“I mean, the figures are getting worse and worse and worse.”
Maher referred to the Michigan teacher's union contract as an example of over -range, including teachers who are only fired because they are drunk caught at work after their eighth quote.
According to national data from the national assessment of the progress of education, reported last week by The Associated Press, a growing number of American children are missing simple reading and mathematics skills.
A third of the students of the eighth grade scored below a 'basic level' reading level, which means that they were unable to bring a simple conclusion about the motivation of a character after reading a short story, and some could Do not identify that the word 'diligent' means to be '' hard working. '
The Congressman of Florida, Byron Donalds, said that he supports the dismantling of the Ministry of Education and says that statistics show that it 'did not work'

The data on a downward trend since the COVID-19 Pandemie, as experts say that American schools are full of chronic absenteeism and poor mental health in teenagers.
The underlying education of education described the findings as 'heartbreaking', and said that the results were the effect of failing educational standards nationwide.
“The Trump administration strives to reorient our education system to fully enable states to give priority to meaningful learning and to offer universal access to high quality instruction,” the department said in a statement.
“Change must happen and it must happen now.”
Republican Congressman Tim Walberg, chairman of the house education and workforce, said that the deterioration is clearly a reflection of the education bureaucracy that continues to concentrate on wok policy instead of helping students learn. '
Maher's discussion with Donalds and Puck News reporter Tara Palmeri moved to the upcoming Super Bowl match, which President Trump will be present as the first sitting president ever to do this.
The Late-Night Host supported the NFL decision to remove the 'final racism' from the stadium, which has been a fixed games for several years as a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.
“It was stupid to start,” said Maher.
'But let me ask you, who is it? And if you are a racist and you see “final racism” in the end zone, are you going to stop being a racist? '
Palmeri replied: “But the sentiment is in fact like, don't be a ** hole.”
“But I think it's an A ** hole to nag us during a football match about something that doesn't change anything,” said Maher.
'If I am not a racist and I see it, it doesn't matter. And if I am a racist, it will make me more racist. '
Donalds added: “Look, I think if you write” no a ** hole “in the end zone, everyone will agree.”
