Deep dives

Trump's Executive Order on Education

An executive order aims to dismantle the Department of Education, shifting control back to states and local districts. This decision is driven by the belief that local authorities can manage education more effectively than federal bureaucrats. Critics argue this move threatens funding for low-income students and those with disabilities, yet proponents assert it will maintain financial support while enabling parents to choose schools. The restructuring is intended to facilitate school choice, allowing parents more control over their children's education.
