Summary:

How the current regime’s plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education isn’t just policy—it’s a blueprint for entrenching power and shrinking opportunity.

I open with a simple filter: When this regime adopts a policy, ask: who benefits? From there, I map out how the push to gut the Department of Education turns learning into a luxury good—locking mobility, sidelining women, turbo-charging predatory lending, and eroding the systems that protect kids.

Chapters:

00:00 – The only question that matters: Who benefits?

02:00 – Outcome #1: Eliminating social mobility; my immigrant story as proof of what education makes possible.

05:00 – Outcome #2: Forcing women “back in their place” via reclassification of women-led professions.

07:00 – How “non-professional” labels choke access to loans and career paths.

10:00 – Outcome #4: Fewer mandatory reporters → more unchecked child abuse.

12:00 – Closing challenge: connect the dots and act.
