Trump wants to DISMANTLE the Education Department
The Trump administration is hoping to drastically shrink the Education Department, using an executive order now in the works. The order — as described by three people briefed on its contents, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss internal issues — would seek a plan for Congress to abolish the department altogether, which would fulfill a Trump campaign promise.
This order would follow a trio of executive orders President Donald Trump signed last week seeking to control how schools teach about race and gender, direct more tax dollars to private schools and deport foreign pro-Palestinian protesters. All of these moves are happening ahead of the confirmation of Trump’s nominee for education secretary, Linda McMahon, which has not been scheduled yet.
Here’s what to know about the Education Department and its potential future:
