we also talked to federal civil rights groups, the department of education, those sorts of things. host: the headline from the washington post reporting on your report. students have faced a huge jump in hostile behavior. attacks with weapons doubled. one in five students ages 12 to 18 were bullied during the 2017-18 school year. 2018-19, one in four students saw bullying related to race, national origin, religion, disability, gender or sexual orientation. one in four saw hate symbols or words in their schools. give us a sense of how this compares to previous data that gao may have reported on, or other available data on that. guest: for bullying specifically, that has remained relatively constant over time. it is really hate crimes, physical assault with a weapon, those specific types of hostile behaviors have significantly increased. those in particular have doubled. i wouldn't say it is a mixed bag but while bullying has been around for a long time and isn't new, certain types of bullying really seemed to have ticked up in the last several years. bullying based on identity, thin

congress has given the department of education broad authority to fine institutions that use systems to place imitations on participation and title iv, and to seek recovery of financial losses against owners and executives of such institutions. but the department of education has been failing to do that, leaving the taxpayers and students to pay the price when institutions engage in fraudulent activities that leave students stuck with the bill. in a hearing we had in march, we -- i witness said we should use -- in march, a witness said we should use that authority. now let me just say -- use that authority against the owners and executives. i'm not talking about strict liability. i'm talking about triggering that liability when they have personal involvement in the fraud, with consideration for the seriousness of the fraud, and why the executives made of the fraud, taking that into consideration how much they profited. and obviously, if we did that, it would deter future fraud. is that something the department is looking at? mr. cordray: so i will say we have that letter from you. i h

and why do we need a department of education, department of anything? lly defense when its blowing its own budget out of aspects, but the issue of education, the united states it says is ranked 37 out of 199 countries out of education standards and our children meeting those standards and right there in washington dc, well i look back on the federal acts, you know, everything from the '65 education act to, i mean even back to brown versus topeka board of education, all up through education, and no child left behind, and even the every student succeeds act, these things, but they're not having the outcome for black and brown students. right there in washington dc, our nation's capital, under 60% of high school african americans graduate on time and same for hispanics, las vegas nevada, under 60% of the minority group, if you will, are graduating high school on time and it's a big gap between the asian american community and the white community and the brown and black community, we talking 25 to 30% difference in graduating high school. and so we have thes

the department of education has in our education system.should be a local level and parents should be intimately involved to the extent that parents have a hard enough time getting a say in loudoun county and expect that they will have an opportunity to sway the department of education, and what the challenges we are facing is that there are so many federal dollars flowing that it is almost impossible for the department of education not to have too much of a say to what local education curriculums look like and it makes it easier for this types of ideology that the american people can broadly reject. we saw them broadly reject it in virginia and i am sure that it will be broadly rejected on a national level. when you have a department of education with intimate ties to many of these critical race theory networks, teachers, and terrorists, we have a big problem -- theories, we have a problem. i agree with an aspect of your question. we need to have a significant debate on whether we need a department of education that is pushing critical rac

i made it clear to the previous director and the former president trump's department of education that their administration of this program was unacceptable. as you know, the department of education was blocking the cfpb's access to the necessary information to adequately oversee and examine servicers in the program. how is it working or not or notg currently? >> so to be truthful, i think this program has been botched over multiple administrations. and it needs to be fixed. i understand the education department is taking some steps to remedy those past failures. the way in which it was administered i think did not meet the standards of the law. to the extent that companies have lied or broken the law with respect to those borrowers, they need to be held accountable. >> thank you, senator chester. senator cortez masto is recognized from her office. >> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. director chopra, welcome. great to see you here. i am glad you're at the helm of the consumer financial protection bureau. you've only been there a couple weeks it is important to have leadership that s

much mac which is what the department of education have - the department of education have done. from the dfe said, you know, in hindsight, that should not have happened. icredit said, you know, in hindsight, that should not have happened. credit to them fortaking _ should not have happened. credit to them for taking that _ should not have happened. credit to them for taking that responsibility. l them for taking that responsibility. it should not have happened. everybody should have stuck to the rules. we all stuck to the rules last christmas even though it was quite difficult for some. of course, absolutely tragic for others. so the department of education has obviously done the right thing in these circumstances, but that shines a spotlight even more on what number 10 was doing and the way in which number 10 behaved. 10 was doing and the way in which number10 behaved. ithink 10 was doing and the way in which number 10 behaved. i think the video is deeply hurtful. we all know that the team at number 10 work under great pressure, of course they do, but they are not undergraduate

anonymity is what the department of education is reporting is required by law to do. every gift under my presidency to the university of pennsylvania was looked at by our legal team and so on. none would be anonymous. i do agree we should make sure institutions of higher education prevent the kind of nefarious influence the p.r.c. is all too capable and a tory is for. dr. gutmann: money carries -- sen. risch: money carries influence and that's the difficulty. >> let me think all three nominees for their willingness to continue to serve and serve our nation. we thank your families. we know this is a family commitment. senator, i think you know our concerns about the p.r.c.'s impact on our academic centers around the nation. we have had issues in maryland. i appreciate the fact we need to continue to put a big spotlight on this. i do congratulate dr. gutmann for her leadership at penn and in so many areas of integrity. >> that issue is bipartisan. sen. cardin: no question that it is. ambassador blome, you mentioned during your statement concerns about human rights. we ha

i want to get your thoughts on this before we conclude a second california department of education officialiving in the state. i said that right. they have a job in california that requires them to be in state but they live somewhere else pop up on the full screen you see them there at least that we know of. what does that say about the faith that those so-called leaders, leaders trying to teach your kids right from wrong have in their own state? >> yeah, they don't want to be in california either. maybe it's the leadership or taxes and smash and grab robberies and safety concerns. a plethora of reasons not to live in california. i lived in california so i understand it fully this shows the level of corruption that they have in california. if you read the article here what appears to have happened there was a friend of a friend got a job even though it violated the state's rules. where i don't faulted them for wanting them to live in california i think they need to dig in deeper here. kick backs, jobs offered to friends. this is a really big deal and i hope they uncover more because i have

so the nea created the department of education. and we never did get rid of it the most popular textbook in america for the past 40 years howard zen's a people's history. literally american history if it was written by the soviet union. it is the best -- it's been the best seller as a textbook for 40 years. if it's not a textbook it is used in our textbooks. so the progressives removed god, marxists took over education. marxists write our history and then democrats are in bed with them because they get elected by the power of the unions. now, with the flag, and patriotism having served their purpose. it's time for them go. to say enter critical race theory. trge 1619 project and full blown anti-americanism. see, the point of liberal arts, according to our founders was to liberty minds. today it means to capture minds and tear down what makes us great. you are definitely behind the curve as andrew breitbart said politics is downstream of culture. as my pastor chris durkin said a couple of months ago culture is down street stream of f

in the meantime, the department of education also issued a statement that hopefully you will have seen, we will continue to work with borrowers for a smooth transition back into payment and achieve economic stability. >> so the president is saying very clearly there in his statement that a student should use this time as a time to prepare to begin repaying their loans, to work with the department of education and other lenders. that does not necessarily comport with what many democratic senators, senate majority leader chuck schumer, senate minority leader elizabeth warren and others, wanting to pay $10,000 per student. they want more than just a freeze. there is no indication they will go that far, but at least a temporary gift putting a freeze on those student loan payments now until may 1st in the spring. ana? >> jeff zeleny from the white house for us. thank you, jeff. >>> kim potter remains in limbo on day three of jury deliberations, and there are signs the jury may be having some trouble. >>> plus, a hospital nurse on the covid front lines in nebraska will join us. why she says

also one of the interesting things just to k-12 a lot of times people focus on the department of education and k-12 when in reality the department of education has more say over the general policy. and i think if we moved to a better understanding of what the federal government is supposed to be doing the 10 percent of school district funding comes from the federal government whereas too much about the regulatory responsibility a lot of that lies in higher ed including civil rights oversight so one of the things that i touch on in the book and i talked a kelot about recently is the government needs to fulfill its responsibility to investigate public education system, higher ed and k-12 in orderto ensure that those vestiges of discrimination and racism aren't linked . there are several that got their way out of federal monitoring that have not fundamentally lived up to those agreements. north carolina for example settled in 1980 has not fulfilled its promises and its predominantly white institutions of black students. mississippi settled in 2002 and has not lived up toits endowment . >> you

why do we need a department of education? why do we need a department of anything? especially defense when it's blown budget in many aspects. but the issue of education, the united states it says, is ranked 37 out of 1 # 9 countries -- 199 countries as far as education standards. and our children meeting those standards. right there in washington, d.c., when i look back on the federal acts, everything from the 1965 education act to -- even back to brown vs. topeka board of education on up through education, no child left behind, even the every student succeeds act. these things. but they are not having the outcome for black and brown students, if you will. right there in washington, d.c., our nation's capital 60% of high school african-americans graduate on time. and same for hispanics. same in las vegas, nevada, under 60% of the minority of group, if you will, graduating high school on time. and there's a big gap between the asian american community in washington, d.c., and the white community, and the brown and black community. we talk about 25% to 30% difference i

in the meantime, the department of education -- and they also issued a statement that hopefully you will have seen -- will continue working with borrowers to support a smooth transition back into repayment and advance economic stability. i would also note, for all the student -- those who have student loans out there -- the president also renewed his call for all student loan borrowers to do their part as well by taking full advantage of the department of education's resources, considering income-based repayment plans or public service loan forgiveness, and getting vaccinated or boosted. i was thinking -- i was looking at what trevor was looking at behind me, but -- yes, this is another note. don't worry, i'll get there in just a moment. also, just wanted to note, the president, of course, just met with a number of business leaders and industry leaders about efforts to address bottlenecks in the supply chain. i think you all saw him give his -- give remarks on that as well. but, as the new york times said today, christmas gifts are arriving on time this year. good news. we've saved chris
