Officials are discussing executive order as part of efforts by Musk’s Doge team to seize control of federal spending

Summary

Trump is considering executive actions to dismantle the Department of Education, following Elon Musk’s push to slash government spending.

Officials are discussing shutting down non-statutory functions or moving them to other agencies. Dozens of employees were placed on leave under Trump’s order banning diversity programs.

Trump, who promised to eliminate the department, awaits Senate confirmation of Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon.

While Congress must approve agency closures, Trump’s team may replicate its aggressive approach used against USAID.

    I was homeschooled. Because my idiotic bio-mom was convinced I would be taught things that would impact my religious development(she’s a psycho, and there’s unfortunately much more, but I’m leaving it at “she has a life long battle with the devil and she lost.”

    1. If we allow the education department to go away there WILL be more kids like me, entering the world with no damn clue, allowed to vote and doing it based entirely off lies. I voted for Bush Jr the first time, I would never be caught dead doing that now that I have real world knowledge and experience.
    2. The Republican’s at least got it to work on me once, how well is it gonna work on your neighbors kids that don’t have any friends and aren’t allowed to play out of view of their parent even if it is daylight still? What happens once they are voting age?
    3. It actually does take a village, and by killing children’s education they are effectively killing the village system we have setup to ensure the children of this countries future. Reading, writing, and Arithmetic, religion has no place in your child’s public education, the bible ain’t gonna help them fix a copier, or solve why the printers are printing gibberish, or how to balance a budget,in fact, unless you are breading animals (which the bible oddly has specific instructions on), then the bible has NO answers. None. Vague references to situations that have little to NO bearing on the real world. It’s why I can’t stand people that “trust in god”… Bitch I’ll trust in my my own experience and YouTube videos to show me how to exactly solve my situation, Bible ain’t never had nothing on that level of usefulness, maybe propping up a table leg…

      Are you me? 100% agreed man. Same here, voted for Dubaya the first time, and took a while to get deprogrammed from the homeschooled/religious bullshit.
