I guess screaming that President Trump is a threat to our democracy has not worked as well as predicted (we are a representative republic) since he is not the one jailing his political opponents and ignoring the rulings of the Supreme Court, so the Democrats need a new fear. The new monster under the bed is Project 2025. Project 2025 is simply a conservative wish list put out by the Heritage Foundation that would bring America closer to the country our Founding Fathers envisioned.<\/p>\n
The Project 2025 website<\/a> notes:<\/p>\n \u201c<\/span>Mandate for Leadership: <\/span>The Conservative Promise<\/a>\u201d offers both specific proposals for addressing every major issue facing the country and a blueprint for how to restructure each agency to solve those issues.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Among the recommendations in this edition:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Which of those ideas is objectionable?<\/p>\n The Heritage Foundation<\/a> posted an article about the effectiveness of the Department of Education in 2019. The article states:<\/strong><\/p>\n Federal government efforts to improve education have been dismal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The fact that Common Core didn\u2019t catalyze improvements in the U.S. isn\u2019t surprising.
