The Trump administration has begun drafting an executive order that would kick off the process of eliminating the Department of Education, the latest move by President Donald Trump to swiftly carry out his campaign promises, two sources familiar with the plans told CNN.
The move would come in two parts, the sources said. The order would direct the secretary of Education to create a plan to diminish the department through executive action.
Trump would also push for Congress to pass legislation to end the department, as those working on the order acknowledge that shuttering the department would require Congress’ involvement.
The president said Tuesday he wants his secretary of Education pick, Linda McMahon, to “put herself out of a job.”
“I told Linda, ‘Linda, I hope you do a great job in putting yourself out of a job.’ I want her to put herself out of a job – Education Department,” Trump said.

President Trump's recent executive order to dismantle the Department of Education signals a significant shift in federal education policy, aiming to decentralize control and redirect funding to states. This bold move raises critical questions about the future of American education.

Commentary:
The federal department of education was created with an executive order. Its demise at the pen of another president is both fitting and poetic justice.
Be prepared to hear and see "Randi" Weingarten rant, rave and do head stands, then tell us it's all for the children.
Glad that Trump Trump is trying to do something about it, while Neo-Marxist Democrats will fight him every step of the way. Tax and spend is their MO.
American kids should be out marching today for this. Not for the freeloading bastard invaders burning American flags.
Why is it that the U.S. spends more per child for education in K thru 12 than any other nation and our children cannot read reading, writing or math standards? Government bureaucrat interference has made our children more unIntelligent in school learning.

Might as well, education in America has steadily declined since Carter started it.
It really has never worked for the better. This is one of those things leftists would never even dream of: cutting back
a government agency that is failing at its mission.

The dept. was started with an executive order, but was later codified into law by Congress. So Trump can't end it with an EO.

But someone unintelligent in school learning wouldn't know that.

Good. I'll expect my school taxes to come down once my school district is no longer bound to meet all of the regulations of the Fed.

Good point. Just as with our healthcare, we pay the most for our education and get the least. The USA spends more on education than anyone else yet somehow usually ranks around 30th in the world.

Just wait till student loans have to go through a bank and risk v. reward is considered.

I see all kinds of BS courses going by the wayside.

 

[MeBelle]

The education I received in HS is now college level material.

Ridiculous!

Looks like our Community Colleges are going to be getting more action than Universities.
Maybe High Schools will begin offering vocational courses for those more mechanically oriented...

Real things that make the world go 'round.

I don't think the $$$ would go away. I think the idea is that the $$$ would be allocated to state and local.

Most districts have at least one vocational school.

 

[Unkotare]

The trend toward expanded early college courses is growing fast.

But someone unintelligent in school learning wouldn't know that.

What he can do is gut it down to the minimum level allowed by the legislation.

And that's probably a lot of gutting.

Unkotare NOT fake news, sorry.

STILL not fake news Unkotare

Would you care to discuss??

We spend a fortune on the children of the third world who can't, won't, speak English. We spend a fortune on mainstreaming the disabled and cognitively impaired.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The President of the United States does not have the authority to eliminate the Department of Education on their own. The power to create, abolish, or reorganize federal agencies, including the Department of Education, typically requires an act of Congress1. However, the President can propose such changes and work with Congress to get the necessary legislation passed.

 

[Unkotare]

... who can't, won't, speak English. ...

False.

 

[Unkotare]

...We spend a fortune on mainstreaming the disabled and cognitively impaired.

ALL students deserve an education.

Ridiculous!

I read Dante’s Inferno in 7th grade in public school in da Bronx!

Destroying our education system was always one of the goals of progressive leadership
