Trump to Order Shutdown of U.S. Department of Education

President Donald Trump is set to order the shutdown of the U.S. Department of Education, according to a White House summary seen by Reuters. The move fulfills a key campaign promise, as Trump has long criticized the department as “a big con job.”

The order, expected soon, would mark a historic shift in federal education policy, potentially shifting responsibilities to states. While supporters argue it will reduce government overreach, critics warn it could disrupt funding and oversight of public schools nationwide.
