The Department of Education is essential in providing funding and data to support low-income and marginalized students. Trump’s agenda poses risks to these services, as he aims to dismantle the agency and return education rights to states. His nomination of Linda McMahon, with limited educational experience, raises concerns about effective leadership. While Trump requires congressional approval for such actions, experts highlight potential disruptions to vital federal oversight and support that promote educational equity, particularly affecting students of color. Established in 1980, the department has played a historical role in enforcing civil rights in education.
