The article discusses the implications of President Trump's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. Panelists at an education forum highlighted concerns over the chaotic execution of this plan and its potential ripple effects on public education and federal funding. The order aims to return education authority to the states, but this move has sparked many lawsuits claiming it exceeds legal authority. Critics argue any closure would necessitate congressional approval, raising further debates on educational governance and equity for vulnerable student populations.
"My biggest concern is that this is being done so haphazardly - like a bull in a china shop. I want to see the Department of Education dismantled carefully and responsibly."
"The move to close down the agency is an illegal overreach. Shutting it down would also require congressional action, as it was created by an act of Congress in 1979."
