You are currently viewing Trump Moves to Abolish Federal Education Department

In a bold move, President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at eliminating the federal Department of Education and transferring its authority to individual states. This decision is part of Trump’s broader effort to decentralize education and empower parents and local communities.

The order directs the Secretary of Education to facilitate the closure of the department while ensuring the continued delivery of essential services and programs. Additionally, Trump has vowed to halt federal funding for programs that promote progressive ideologies, such as DEI and gender identity initiatives.

This move marks a significant shift in the country’s education policy, with Trump arguing that the federal government’s involvement in education has been ineffective and burdensome. By returning power to the states, Trump aims to promote educational freedom, increase transparency, and reduce bureaucratic red tape.
