On Thursday, Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at dismantling the U.S. Department of Education, directing Secretary Linda McMahon to initiate the closure process. He justified the move by highlighting the department's budget increase without corresponding gains in national test scores. Trump reiterated his campaign promise to transfer educational authority back to states, although this has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats, who argue such a shift endangers federal funding for millions of low-income students and could result in larger class sizes and reduced resources for public schools.
