Friends at Mathematica telling me they just received notice that there will be layoffs and furloughs because of this bullshit. So, on top of it being wasteful and damaging, it's now directly harming hardworking researchers who have built careers working to improve education.
The cancellation of these contracts wastes taxpayer money, harms students and teachers, and worsens the American economy now and in the future.
What kind of research was cancelled by Dept of Ed?

Embarrassing. They're going to feel so stupid in 10 years when nobody's wearing dead salmon hats anymore.
Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

In 1991, 20 million pounds of government cheese and butter caught fire in Madison, WI and created a river of melted butter and cheese that was 5 feet deep in some places.
The smell lingered for some time.
