The White House is reportedly preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, a move that aligns with President Donald Trump’s previous campaign promises to abolish the federal agency and return education responsibilities to individual states. Trump has criticized the current state of public education in the U.S., claiming that despite significant funding, the country still lags behind others in terms of academic performance. Last week, Trump signed an order aimed at expanding school choice programs, allowing states to use federal funds to support private or charter schools for low-income families. School choice has been a priority for many Republicans, with some calling for the elimination of the Department of Education altogether in recent years. Trump’s education priorities also include cutting funding for programs promoting critical race theory, investigating discrimination against Asian Americans in schools, certifying teachers who uphold patriotic values, and rooting out radicals within the Education Department. Trump’s push to eliminate the Department of Education is part of a larger Republican agenda to reduce federal oversight in education and empower states to make their own decisions regarding schooling.
