Trump to sign executive order dismantling Education Department
President Trump is advancing plans to abolish the Department of Education, fulfilling a campaign promise. He criticized the department as filled with "radicals" and aims to shift education authority to families and states. The executive order directs Secretary McMahon to facilitate closure while maintaining essential services. Proponents argue the agency has failed students, and NAEP scores highlight a national crisis. McMahon recently cut the workforce by half, following Trump's mandate.
