Trump Exploits Children during Fake Ceremony to Scrap Their Education Department.

Mar 21, 2025 | Donald Trump signed an executive order today calling for the dismantling of the U.S. Education Department, claiming his administration will close the department beyond its “core necessities,” preserving its responsibilities for Title I funding for low-income schools, Pell grants and money for children with disabilities.

Trump has derided the Education Department as wasteful and polluted by liberal ideology. However, completing its dismantling is most likely impossible without an act of Congress, which created the department in 1979. Republicans said they will introduce legislation to achieve that, while Democrats have quickly lined up to oppose the idea.
