President Trump discussed his intent to dissolve the Department of Education, a campaign promise he reiterated while speaking to reporters. His education secretary Linda McMahon was tasked with this goal, and plans for an executive order are being finalized. However, legal challenges arise as many believe only Congress can abolish the agency. Public sentiment is largely against the dissolution, with many concerned about potential disruptions, particularly for low-income students and those with disabilities, highlighted by Senator Markey's comments on the importance of educational investment.
"Investment in our children is an investment in our future. Dismantling the Department of Education would do the opposite by making it harder for children to achieve and for parents, caregivers, and communities to thrive."
"Linda, I hope you do a great job and put yourself out of a job," the president said, expressing support for his education secretary's efforts.
