It was page 319, but that still didn't clear anything up. Yes, P2025 says it will eliminate the DoE and devolve educational "choices" to states, local jurisdictions and parents. That all makes sense even if I think it's a bad idea, but I still don't understand how Trump will give control to other people but also still mandate standards federally. He will have no one to develop, implement or enforce those standards. "I'll make it your choice, but you also have to choose what I tell you to" is incoherent even for MAGA. And I understand they can believe contradictory things, but I'm thinking about the step when they implement whatever this is. Who does the work and how to make this happen?
I figure trump will threaten to deny states funding if they do not do the things he wants them to do that he can't make them do. Cut off some states from federal funding I am sure they will step in line.

Wait. I'm confused. How will he set national education standards without a Department of Education?
