Laura Loomer, a far-right activist and commentator, has an idea that she doesn’t realize comes out of the dictator playbook. Loomer posted a tweet suggesting that the United States government should abolish the Department of Education, and it should instead be known as the “Department of Patriotism,” a name that sounds like something straight out of a dystopian novel.
Not only that, but she suggested the building itself be named after Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was tragically assassinated just two days ago. It’s a bold move, to be fair, considering her past statements about the very man she now wants to honor with a building. The news comes just after the shocking events of September 10, 2025, when Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University.
