The Education Department is preparing for an imminent executive order to dismantle the agency and reassign its functions. In a draft memo, obtained by Federal News Network, the department is preparing to notify its employees that President Donald Trump will sign an executive order, entitled, “Eliminating the Department of Education.” The department, in the unsigned draft memo, states that Trump’s upcoming executive order gives employees a “clear and final mission.” “We are to identify which of the Department’s functions, programs, and offices are not mandated by statute, and eliminate them,” the memo states. “This reorganization will impact staff, budgets, reporting, and more — and in coming months, we will determine how it can be accomplished with minimal delay and disruption.”


quote:

The memo states Trump has also tasked the Education Department with creating a plan to reallocate and reassign its functions “that would be more effectively managed by other agencies.”

I want this. But, I also want the Epstein list to be released, and we know how that is going.

I just feel that despite all this if the Dems get power back they'll just bring it all back.

Genuine question--

Why does Trump hate the Dept of Education? I can't figure this one out and not getting many hits online as to his reason or what he would replace it with.

How dare that orange man! We demand that our public schools continue to fail and be laughed at.

I read "give the rights back to the states" but that's not a plan or replacement. Nor does it explain why he hates the Dept.

Most of Trumps work I can see his side of it, even if I don't agree with it or think it will work.

This one is a wild card.

I think it's all about the spending. Test scores nationally are down. Cost per to students keep going up. Here's one post by Elon that shows how much is wasted.

Here's another that compliments and shows how the money isn't going to teachers and students, it's going to administrative staff. The system is being abused.

Ahh this one makes a bit more sense. Most funding for K-12 public schools comes from the state so figured it had to be something else.

If his premise is that the budget is being used to support Fed jobs and not progressing students then I can see how that ties into his overall thinking of Fed waste.

That lines up.

I think she was hired to do just this. Her first act as secretary was sending an email telling everybody to prepare for the "final mission" as she called it.

NYTimes


quote:

Linda McMahon’s first act as secretary of education was to instruct staff to prepare for its “final mission,” her clearest indication yet of how she will work to fulfill President Trump’s goal of shuttering the department.

Ms. McMahon’s missive, sent via email shortly after she was sworn in on Monday, was just the latest thunderclap for federal workers, teachers and school administrators anticipating seismic changes to the nation’s education system.

Her job is to take it apart.
That's why she's a great choice.
She's loyal to Trump, long time friend.
Additionally, she's tough and takes zero shite.
She dealt with coked up, roid fueled wrestlers. Didn't take their crap.
You think some lesbians in teachers union intimidate her?

She's there to destroy.

It can’t be worse than it is currently, and if it is somehow, it will be a hell of a lot cheaper atleast,
