The Daily Montanan reports:
Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Tim Sheehy said at multiple campaign stops this year that he wants to do away with the U.S. Department of Education to save money — by “throwing it in the trash can” — and that education is one of his top three priorities.
“We have a Department of Education, which I don’t think we need anymore,” Sheehy said. “It should go away. That’ll save us $30 billion right there.”
He said the “national education system” is meant to “indoctrinate and enslave,” and he described the results as he sees it. “We got a bunch of over-educated, unemployable nincompoops,” Sheehy said.
Read the full article. Sheehy last appeared here when he declared that Democrats “indoctrinate women to murder babies.” Sheehy has been busted lying about “living below the poverty line” before running for office and about a gunshot “war wound” that was actually accidentally self-inflicted at a US national park. He has barred mainstream media outlets from attending his campaign events.
NEW: Multimillionaire Tim Sheehy called to defund the Department of Education and attacked the public education system.
Nearly 90% of Montana students attend public school. Sheehy’s plan would devastate schools, especially in rural communities. #mtsen https://t.co/Cvnv1P1l6Q
