Trump Proposes Closing Department of Education via Executive Action

                             

In a bold move, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his intention to dismantle the Department of Education through executive action. Trump, who has long criticized the federal government's role in education, believes that states should have more control over their schools.

During a press conference in the Oval Office, Trump stated, "We spend more per pupil than any other country in the world, and we’re ranked at the bottom of the list. What I want to do is let the states run schools." Despite acknowledging that an executive order would face significant challenges, Trump expressed his preference for working with Congress and teachers' unions to achieve this goal.

The proposed dismantling of the Department of Education has sparked a debate about the future of federal involvement in education. Critics argue that eliminating the department could lead to a lack of oversight and funding for public schools, while supporters believe it would reduce government spending and increase local control.

As the administration prepares to take steps to defund the department, the nation awaits further details on how Trump plans to proceed with this controversial initiative.
