Trump Signs Executive Order to Dismantle Department of Education
The order directs the transfer of education authority to states but faces legal challenges and requires congressional approval for full implementation.
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the dismantling of the Department of Education, fulfilling a key campaign promise.
- The order preserves critical functions, including Pell Grants, Title I funding for low-income schools, and programs for students with disabilities.
- The Department of Education's workforce has already been halved through layoffs and buyouts under the Trump administration.
- The executive order prohibits any remaining department programs from promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, or gender ideology.
- Legal challenges from teachers' unions and state attorneys general have already been initiated, questioning the administration's authority to execute the plan without congressional approval.
