Forbes: Will Trump Eliminate The Department Of Education? What We Know As Elon Musk Applauds ‘Good Idea.’
President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to close the federal Department of Education, arguing it represents excessive government oversight and has not effectively improved U.S. education despite high spending. He believes state control would yield better outcomes and plans to cut funding for schools teaching critical race theory and other topics he opposes.
Experts caution that even if the department is eliminated, the federal government would still need to regulate education, especially regarding funding and civil rights. Closing the department would require congressional action, and its responsibilities could be redistributed to other federal agencies.
