Federal workers are being fired across the board. New executive orders are shocking Americans every day. Who knows what will happen with the USA? Education has become a territory that everyone wants a piece of. No homework or a dinosaur’s load of it? Ice cream every Friday or candy on Tuesdays? Due to recent political turmoil, in March, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk, declared that the government would be implementing educational supervisors across all schools in America beginning on April 1.
The Educational Supervisor will monitor the content shared in schools, control the clubs and extracurricular activities hosted at the school and ensure that schools are up to par with DOGE’s demands. On March 20, the new educational supervisor, [redacted], arrived to inspect WCHS and understand the environment. [Redacted] has worked with the WCHS administration to foresee how [redacted] will fit into the WCHS community.
“The students seem to be quite cheerful within the building,” [Redacted] said. “I am a bit worried about their reactions to the new policies that will take place.”

Through [redacted]’s visit at WCHS, [redacted] observed WCHS clubs and their activities. WCHS Club President Millie Vanilly of the Lip-Syncing Club (LSC) taught [redacted] of the importance of the club’s encouragement of WCHS students’ creativity. Vanilly has been the President of the WCHS LSC since the 2022-23 school year.
“I hope that my club is protected by [redacted]’s radical changes,” Vanilly said. “My club encourages WCHS students without singing abilities to pretend as if they can.”
A new way of operating clubs will start April 10, 2025. [Redacted] has decided that clubs must meet weekly and provide attendance for each meeting. Also, [redacted] has decided that clubs must provide a written analysis of the club meeting and participant reactions.
“I was utterly disappointed when the news came out,” Vanilly said. “I find it useless for a club like LSC to provide a documented analysis of what goes on; we lip-sync!”
While clubs have been harmed by the new policies instilled by the educational supervisor, [redacted] has further plans to restructure the WCHS community including replacing department heads for the social studies and science departments to align WCHS with DOGE expectations. Former WCHS science department head Valerie Frizzle has worked for WCHS for 25 years.
“Yes, I did take the students on unauthorized field trips, but they loved them,” Frizzle said. “Who cares if I went over the budget?”
