High school dropout Lauren Boebert celebrates Trump’s attempt to eliminate the DOE

In another embarrassing display of very public irony, Lauren Boebert has proven why staying in school is among the fetchest things a person can do.

The 38-year-old grandmother and representative for Colorado’s 4th congressional district has continued her staunch support of Donald Trump’s controversial efforts, this time supporting his attempt to destroy the Department of Education. After Trump signed an executive order to launch the dismantling, Boebert wasted no time taking to X and boldly declaring that the DOE is “DONE!” Never mind that Trump needs actual congressional approval before such a process can begin.

“The Left will fight this one HARD but it’s the only way to save our country from the woke indoctrination that has INFESTED our school system,” Boebert said in the tweet. “Our children deserve a REAL education, not the federal mess we have now.”

Boebert is one to talk. She dropped out of high school after having a baby during her senior year, ultimately obtaining a GED instead of a diploma. She has since maintained that she is “proud” to have put her family above her education, which may partially explain why she joined the Republican Party after being raised in a liberal home. Despite having no additional education, she went on to represent Colorado’s 3rd district from 2021 to 2024 and then Colorado’s 4th district starting this year. If that sounds impressive, wait for it.

Let’s not forget that Boebert is perhaps best known for groping a man during a performance of Beetlejuice: The Musical, a disturbing decision that resulted in both of them being thrown out the theater. “Gropert” then dealt with further scandal when her then-17-year-old son, Tyler, was arrested for breaking into parked cars and stealing credit cards and other items. Tyler faced 22 charges including four felony counts of criminal ID possession and one felony count of conspiracy to commit a felony. Boebert presumably did not find this to be fetch, especially given that Tyler is the same child who made her a grandmother at 36.

Needless to say, her insistence that Trump’s mission to dismantle the DOE is a sound one was quickly met with backlash. “Lauren Boebert is what happens when ignorance isn’t just accepted in politics—it’s rewarded,” political strategist Chris D. Jackson said in response to her tweet. “You can’t make this up.”

Another user noted that killing the DOE “won’t ‘fix’ schools, it’ll just gut funding, hurt working-class kids, and funnel money to private grifters. THIS IS A SCAM!”

One cheeky onlooker wondered if leaving education up to the individual states is the best way for kids to learn about Earth’s true form.

Another pointed out that perhaps Boebert should have stayed in school after missing a few “crucial milestones” during her tenure.

Oops, Boebert’s rap sheet certainly isn’t doing her any favors.

It’s important to remember that Trump will need congressional approval in order to shut down the DOE. Sadly, per CNN, the agency has already announced that nearly half its staff is planning on leaving through layoffs or voluntary buyouts. Given that the DOE provides billions of dollars to support students from low-income and impoverished families, there is much concern about individual states and school districts having the power to decide how educational funds are spent. Republicans like Boebert continue to claim that the DOE is “woke” and the pinnacle of Democrats’ DEI agenda, but the truth is that the DOE also supports students with disabilities. Shifting services for deaf and blind students over to the Department of Health and Human Services, as Trump wants to do, could make it more difficult for them to get what they need. This is one of many issues a DOE dismantling will create ⏤ not that that bothers Boebert.

“Now the money will go back to the states and we’ll get QUALITY education again,” she concluded in her tweet, sans analysis of exactly how such a feat will be achieved. But never fear, America ⏤ when she’s not busy screeching about Al Greene’s “pimp cane” or praying over Trump like a Jesus Camp survivor, Lauren Boebert is clearly someone who knows a “QUALITY” education when she sees one.
