Continuing my review and summarization of Project 2025, Chapter 11 covers the Department of Education.

1) Eliminate the Dept of Education and restore educational powers to students and families

2) “Every parent should have the option to direct his or her child’s share of education funding through an education savings account (ESA), funded overwhelmingly by state and local taxpayers, which would empower parents to choose a set of education options that meet their child's unique needs and “provide families roughly 90 percent of what the state would have spent on that child in public school to be used instead on education options such as private school tuition, online courses, and tutoring.”

3) Rebalance education by “bolstering the workforce skills of Americans who have no interest in pursuing a four-year academic degree.”

4) Get rid of DEI mandates and reject critical race theory

5) Rescind student loan relief and loan forgiveness, privatize all lending programs to “allow for market prices and signals to influence educational borrowing,” and terminate the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. NB: Public Service loan forgiveness allowed me to attend medical school in exchange for serving in a medically underserved area in a year-for-year program. It does the same for other healthcare workers who serve in prisons, on Indian reservations, federal agency, the US military, or a nonprofit organization.

6) Devolve the agency as a stand-alone Cabinet-level department.

7) Lessen federal regulations on charter schools

8) Define “sex” under Title IX to mean only “biological sex recognized at birth, establish “sex” as a “fixed biological fact”; and strengthen protections for faith-based educational institutions, programs, and activities.”

10) Provide school meals only to children of need, and “do not use free meals to support radical ideology”

11) Rescuing the National Education Associates (NEA) federal charter because it advocated school closings during the pandemic and promote “radical racial and gender ideologies in schools that parents oppose

12) Do not allow schools to assist a child with a social or medical gender transition without parental consent or to withhold information from parents about a child’s social transition

13) No public education employee or contractor shall use a name or a pronoun to address a student other than the name listed on a student’s birth certificate, without the written permission of a student’s parents or guardians. NB: Does this mean they can’t call Kathleen “Kathy” or Joseph “Joe”?

14) Protect faith-based institutions by prohibiting accreditation agencies from undermining religious beliefs or requiring policies that conflict with the religious mission

15) Stop “area studies” programs which tend to run counter to American interests.

16) Allocate at least 40 percent of funding to international business programs that teach about free markets and economics and require institutions, faculty, and fellowship recipients to certify that they intend to further the stated statutory goals of serving American interests.

17) Eliminate the “List of Shame” of faith-based colleges that have applied for exemption from the Civil Rights Act. NB: The fact that they are applying for exemption rather suggests they are white supremacist, pseudo-Christians.

The Smart Way to Handle School Meals: Prepaid Card Solutions

In today's fast-paced world, managing school meals efficiently is crucial for both parents and schools. Gone are the days of sending cash or checks in envelopes with students, as the digital age has ushered in a smarter solution: prepaid card solutions for school meals.

Traditional Payment Methods

Traditional methods of paying for school meals, such as cash or checks, pose numerous challenges for both parents and schools. Cash can easily be lost or stolen, while checks require manual processing and can lead to errors.

Introduction of Prepaid Card Solutions

Prepaid card solutions offer a modern alternative to traditional payment methods. These cards are loaded with funds by parents or guardians and can be used specifically for school meal purchases.

Benefits of Prepaid Card Solutions

The benefits of using prepaid card solutions for school meals are manifold. Firstly, they provide unparalleled convenience for parents, eliminating the need for sending cash or writing checks each day. Additionally, prepaid cards offer enhanced security and safety, as there is no risk of cash being lost or stolen.

Convenience for Parents

With prepaid card solutions, parents can easily manage and track their child's meal payments online. They can reload funds as needed, set spending limits, and receive notifications for each transaction, ensuring complete control over their child's meal account.

Security and Safety

Prepaid cards come with built-in security features such as PIN protection and fraud monitoring, offering parents peace of mind knowing that their child's meal funds are safe and secure.

Budget Management for Parents

Prepaid card solutions also aid in budget management for parents, allowing them to allocate specific amounts for school meals each week or month. This helps in controlling spending and ensures that funds are available when needed.

Customization and Control

Unlike cash or checks, prepaid card solutions offer customization options such as setting dietary restrictions or specifying which items can be purchased with the card. This level of control ensures that students are only consuming meals that meet their nutritional needs.

Streamlined Processes for Schools

From the school's perspective, prepaid card solutions streamline administrative tasks associated with managing meal payments. They reduce the need for manual cash handling, minimize errors, and simplify reconciliation processes.

Reduced Stigma for Students

Prepaid card solutions also help in eliminating the stigma often associated with free or reduced-price meal programs. Since all students use the same payment method, there is no differentiation based on financial status.

Integration with School Systems

Prepaid card solutions can seamlessly integrate with existing school systems, including point-of-sale systems and student information databases. This ensures smooth implementation and minimal disruption to school operations.

Accessibility for All

One of the most significant advantages of prepaid card solutions is that they ensure equal access to nutritious meals for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background. By removing barriers to payment, schools can better serve their entire student population.

Case Studies

Numerous schools and districts across the country have successfully implemented prepaid card solutions for handling school meals. From urban districts to rural communities, these solutions have proven to be effective in improving efficiency, security, and equity in school meal management.

Conclusion

In conclusion, prepaid card solutions offer a smart and efficient way to handle school meals for both parents and schools. With benefits such as convenience, security, and customization, these solutions are revolutionizing the way meal payments are managed in educational institutions.

FAQs

Are prepaid card solutions compatible with all schools?

Yes, prepaid card solutions can be customized to meet the specific needs of any school or district.

How do parents reload funds onto prepaid cards?

Parents can reload funds online using a debit or credit card, or through various payment methods offered by the card provider.

What happens if a prepaid card is lost or stolen?

Parents can immediately report the card as lost or stolen, and the card provider will deactivate the card and issue a replacement.

Can prepaid cards be used for purchases other than school meals?

No, prepaid cards are typically restricted to use for school meal purchases only, ensuring that funds are allocated for their intended purpose.

Are there any fees associated with using prepaid card solutions?

Some card providers may charge nominal fees for certain services, such as card replacement or online account management. However, these fees are often minimal and transparent.

Continuing my review and summarization of Project 2025, Chapter 10 covers the Department of Agriculture.

1)  “The USDA should recognize what should be self-evident: Agricultural production should first and foremost be focused on efficiently producing safe food by identifying and addressing “concrete threats to public health and safety arising directly from food and agriculture.” NB: While suggesting that American food be safe, Project 2025, the GOP, and the Supreme Court are in the process of gutting safety and environment regulations that would keep food, water, and air clean and safe for all.

2) “One of the important lessons learned during the COVID- 19 pandemic was how critical it is to remove barriers in the food supply chain—not to increase them.” NB: The mass deportation of immigrants will lead to a major barrier in the food supply chain: no one to pick crops.

3) Remove the U.S. from any association with U.N. and other efforts to push sustainable-development schemes connected to food production.

4) In 2020, the Market Facilitation Program was used for $20.5 billion in food purchases and income subsidies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. NB: Some of these subsidies went to farmers who didn’t even own the cattle they claimed produced the milk that had to be discarded when schools and restaurants halted their orders for milk products. A proposed House bill which which allows farmers and ranchers to double- and triple-dip into government programs for compensation for the same loss. The largest and wealthiest farms, the top 10%, got 74% of the subsidies, so small farmers are being cut out of government aid.

5) Move food and nutrition programs such as SNAP, WIC, the National School Lunch Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, NutritionProgram for the Elderly, etc, to the Dept of Health and Human Services.

6) Reimplement work requirements to receive food stamps and other benefits.

7) Reverse the Biden administration’s increased food stamp benefits and convert to a simple cost-of-living raise every five years.

8) Return the National School Lunch Program benefit to only needy children, no more schools providing free lunches for alls students.

9) Counter scare tactics regarding agricultural biotechnology and adopt policies to remove unnecessary barriers to approvals and the adoption of biotechnology. NB: This means genetically-modified foods

10) Repeal the federal labeling law, while maintaining federal preemption, and stress that voluntary labeling is allowed.

11) Stop proactive burning of forests to avoid forest fires, instead, do “vegetation management” by thinning trees, etc. and increase sales of wood. NB: Remember when Trump said we needed to rake the forests?

12) Repeal dietary guidelines
