Trump's Newest Executive Order Gets Brutal Review in Fox News Poll

Donald Trump’s death knell to the Education Department isn’t likely to go over well with the American public.

The president stripped apart the centralized authority overseeing the American educational system on Thursday via executive order, marking the end of a 45-year-old institution. But hours after Trump signed the agency’s death certificate, even Fox News was sharing polls indicating that the vast majority of the country is unlikely to support the president’s sweeping move.

“Most voters oppose Trump’s efforts to reduce the number of government employees, changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and, ranking near the bottom in support: his campaign promise to close the Department of Education,” the network reported.

Fox also aired a full-screen of the company-hosted poll, published Thursday, which revealed 65 percent of respondents opposed the agency’s end. That number included 92 percent of Democrats, 81 percent of independent voters, and 33 percent of Republicans.

Republicans consider intelligence to be elitist.

2. George Carlin was also quite prescient

"I'll tell you what they don't want! They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't work for them at all."

5. 6% of scientists are Republican...

... but that was from a poll in 2009, so I hope the percentage is even lower now. Scientists are supposed to care about reality, after all.
