President Donald Trump and White House officials are reportedly drafting an executive order that would essentially defund the U.S. Department of Education and begin the process of achieving a campaign promise to eliminate the federal agency altogether. According to The Washington Post, the upcoming order, which is expected to be signed later this month, seeks to dismantle the Education Department “from within” by ordering agency officials to “diminish itself.” By law, the Trump administration cannot unilaterally eliminate the department without […]

Trump has called for dismantling the Education Department. Here’s what that would mean

WASHINGTON (AP) — Throughout his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump heaped scorn on the federal Department of Education, describing it as being infiltrated by “radicals, zealots and Marxists.” He has picked Linda McMahon, a former wrestling executive, to lead the department. But like many conservative politicians before him, Trump has called for dismantling the department altogether — a cumbersome task that likely would require action from Congress.
