President-elect Donald Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education.
This initiative aligns with his broader strategy to eliminate federal overreach and promote conservative values within the nation’s schools.
Established in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter, the Department of Education has long been criticized for its expansive bureaucracy, indoctrination, and promotion of woke agendas.
Conservatives argue that the department has strayed from its original mission, imposing policies that undermine parental rights and local control.
Trump’s plan to abolish the department reflects a return to constitutional principles, emphasizing that education should be managed at the state and local levels.
Central to this initiative is the promotion of school choice, allowing parents to select the best educational settings for their children, whether public, private, or charter schools.
By redirecting federal funds directly to families, Trump aims to foster competition and improve educational outcomes nationwide. This approach not only empowers parents but also holds schools accountable to the communities they serve.
During ‘Make America Great Again Victory Rally’ on inauguration eve, Trump confirmed his plan to abolish the Department of Education.
“I said to Linda, ‘Linda, I’m making you the Secretary of Education. But if you do a great job, you will put yourself out of a job because you’re going to be sending it back to the states.’”
