Kimmel on Dissolving Dept. Of Education: ‘Your Kids Aren’t Going to Be Able to Spell Mississippi Anymore’

EXCERPT:

KIMMEL: “WWE co-founder Linda McMahon will supervise the important work of dismantling the Department of Education. Good for him, though. Another genius tactical move. I’ll tell you why. He keeps getting attacked by all these smart people, so what does he do? He outlaws smart! There will be no more smart. Of course, it’s also a win for Linda McMahon. The less educated we are, the more likely we are to believe that wrestling is real. It’s interesting how this will work. An executive order to close the department would likely require 60 votes in the Senate. Republicans only have 53 seats, so they won’t get that, but they will be able to bleed the department out. Their plan, they say, is to turn control over education to the states. In other words — bad news, Mississippi, your kids aren’t going to be able to spell 'Mississippi.'”
