President Donald Trump is taking bold action to return power to the people by signing an executive order to dismantle the federal Department of Education. This move fulfills a major campaign promise to shrink big government and put families back in charge of their children’s schooling.
Conservatives have long argued the Department of Education is a bloated bureaucracy that pushes radical ideology instead of focusing on real learning. President Trump says closing it will stop Washington from indoctrinating students with left-wing ideas. Education decisions belong to parents and local communities, not bureaucrats in D.C.
The order directs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to start shutting down the department while protecting services like student loans. Republicans in Congress support the plan, with Senator Bill Cassidy vowing to pass laws making the closure official. Trump is cutting the agency’s staff in half and ending wasteful programs that tracked school data instead of helping kids.
Opponents like teachers’ unions are already threatening lawsuits, but the administration is ready to fight. They claim closing the department hurts students, but conservatives know states can manage schools better without federal meddling. For decades, Washington has wasted billions on programs that fail students while pushing politics into classrooms.
President Trump believes returning education to the states will let communities teach true American values. This includes banning critical race theory, protecting girls’ sports, and keeping men out of women’s bathrooms. States like Florida and Texas have led the way in pushing back against woke policies—now all parents will have that power.
The Department of Education was created in 1979 under President Carter. Since then, test scores have dropped, and schools have become battlegrounds for liberal agendas. Trump’s order reverses this decline by trusting families over government. It’s part of his broader plan to drain the swamp and put America first.
While Democrats and unions scream about “cuts,” the truth is federal funding only makes up 14% of school budgets. States already handle most education spending, and they’ll do a better job without Washington’s strings attached. This shift ensures tax dollars go to classrooms, not political pet projects.
President Trump’s bold move sets the stage for a major election issue. Conservatives see it as a win for freedom, while the left clings to control. By standing up to the education establishment, Trump is fighting for parents, students, and the future of the country.
