President Trump set to sign order that would close the Department of Education

President Donald Trump is submitting plans to cancel the Ministry of Education.

Trump is expected to sign an executive order to follow up in a promise campaign to dissolve the department, claiming the campaign path that the administration was full of “extremists, fanatical and Marxists.”

The White House newspaper states that this step “will hand over education to families instead of bureaucrats. Trump and supporters of the administration have long said that the agency had failed American students.

“The Naep (National Educational Progress) grades reveal a national crisis – our children are behind the knees,” Harrison Fields, Deputy Secretary of the White House, told Fox News. “Over the past four years, Democrats have allowed millions of illegal minors to the country, striving school resources and converting focus from American students.”

He added: “Besides the rise of the CRT anti -United States and Dei, this harms our most weakness.” “President Trump’s executive order to expand educational opportunities will enable parents, states and societies to control and improve results for all students.”

This guidance comes after the Senate voted to confirm Linda McMahon, former CEO of the world for entertainment wrestling (WWE), to lead the agency on March 3. McMahon released a note later that day that determines its support for the Trump administration’s management plans and that it will supervise a “new era of accountability” in the agency’s final days.

“The truth of our educational system is blatant, and the American people have elected President Trump to make major changes in Washington,” McMahon said in the March 3 memo. “Our mission is to respect the will of the American people and the president who chose it, which cost us to achieve the elimination of bureaucratic bloating here in the Ministry of Education – an important final task – quickly and responsibility.”

After reports that Trump plans to sign the executive order, the American Federation of Teachers issued a statement calling for to oppose the executive order and “clarifying the president that the federal government, in the face of this matter, will not give up its responsibility for all children, students and working families, who deserve a future full of promises and probability, not invalid dreams.”

The Teacher Union referred to the NPR/PBS News/Marist poll conducted in February and which found more than 60 % of Americans “strongly opposes” the agency’s elimination.

“The Ministry of Education, and the laws that are supposed to be implemented, have one major purpose: to settle the gaps stadium and fill in opportunities to help every child in America succeed.” “Trying to cancel it – which, by the way, Congress can do – sends a message that the president does not care about all children. Perhaps he is interested in his children, children, or donor children – but not all children.”

Although billions of dollars were spent on education, the results of students were not better. The White House cited 13 high school schools, which no competent mathematics students experienced in 2023, in addition to the money that is spent to teach “radical ideologies”.

“The Trump administration recently canceled $ 226 million of grants under the comprehensive centers program that forced extremist business schedules on countries and systems, including race -based discrimination and sexual identity ideology,” says the fact newspaper.

Under the Biden Administration, schools were forced to redirect resources to comply with “ideological initiatives”, social experiences and old programs, the White House said.

In addition, Trump’s support for re -education to the states and rethinking schools.

“I want all parents in America to be enabled to send their child to the public or private school, the charter, or the texture based on faith in their choice,” he said. “It is time to choose international schools. With the return of education to the states, I will use every force that I must give parents.”

Despite Trump’s order, the president needs Congress to sign the agency, according to Article Two of the United States Constitution. Such a procedure will require 60 votes to pass it in the Senate, and there are only 53 Republicans.

However, there is some appetite in Congress to eliminate the oath. For example, MP Thomas Massi presented R-Ky.

“The bureaucrats are not elected in Washington, DC, responsible for the intellectual and moral development of our children,” Massi said in a statement on January 31. “The states and local communities are the best in setting the curricula that meet the needs of their students. Schools must be responsible.”

Trump told the reporters on February 4 that although he nominated McMahon to lead the Ministry of Education, he finally wanted her to lose her job.

“What I want to do is allow the states to operate schools,” Trump said. “I strongly believe in choosing a school. But in addition, I want the states to manage schools, and I want Linda to put herself from a job.”

The Ministry of Education, established in 1980, seeks to improve the coordination of federal education programs, state systems and local school systems, according to its website. The agency received a budget of $ 79.1 billion in the fiscal year 2024.

Trump said in a mass rally in September 2024 that he wanted to reduce “the quagmire of government education and stop the abuse of your taxpayer’s taxpayer to rotate American youth with all kinds of things that do not want to hear our youth.”

Critics of the Ministry of Education also referred to the “Nation Report card”, which is the national evaluation of 2024 for educational progress (Naep), which was issued every two years, and published on January 27. The exam tests the fourth and eighth graders in both stagnant stagnant mathematics.

“In the report of the report card, what was now is.”

As a result, the United States needs a “full reset” that gives priority to students. She said that this begins with the closure of the Ministry of Education, an agency that focused more on the mandate of diversity, fairness and integration more than the foundations of education.

Meanwhile, Democrats pressed the Ministry of Education to obtain more information about its future in February amid fears that the Trump administration will close the agency.

“We will not summon and allow this to students of the nation, parents, borrowers, teachers and societies,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to the Acting Minister of Education, Dennis Carter on February 5.
