in World News Trump Signs Order to Dismantle Department of Education
President Donald Trump unveiled his plan and signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education on Thursday afternoon, surrounded by children at school desks.
Before signing the order, Trump outlined his vision for decentralizing education and returning control to states, local communities, and parents.
“We’ve got to get the federal government out of education,” Trump declared. “The Department of Education has become a bloated bureaucracy that’s more interested in pushing its own agenda than in helping our kids learn. It’s time to put the power back in the hands of parents, teachers, and local communities.”
