Donald Trump Announces Terrifying Plan For U.S. Education

Donald Trump Announces Terrifying Plan For U.S. Education

Nov. 12, 2024

The Majority Report with Sam Seder

"I'm, like, a really smart person." ~Donald Trump, campaign rally in 2015

President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to remake education in the U.S., pledging to exert more control over funding and classroom lessons, to curb what he views as left-leaning tendencies at universities and even to dismantle the Department of Education.

Donald Trump wants to shut down the U.S. Department of Education, saying at recent rallies that it should be disbanded to “move everything back to the states where it belongs”.

The idea of dismantling the education department has become increasingly mainstream, though it’s nearly as old as the department itself, which was created by Congress as a cabinet-level agency in 1979. Trump made similar promises on the 2016 campaign trail to either cut or hobble the department.

Eliminating it would require Congress to act, which could be an impossible feat, though several of Trump and his allies’ policy goals on education could be accomplished through presidential actions.
