Donald Trump’s campaign promises to dismantle the Department of Education reflect his intention to reform educational policies in line with his political and cultural agenda, despite the practical challenges of executing such changes.
Even though the Department of Education has been a target in Trump’s agenda, its core functions—like distributing Title I funding to needy school districts—play a vital role in supporting low-income areas.
While Trump has threatened to cut the DOE, doing so would require bipartisan support in Congress, which is likely unattainable given the necessary 60% vote to overcome the filibuster.
Trump's statements illustrate a contradictory approach: claiming he wants to return power to the states while simultaneously threatening to wield federal authority to enforce his cultural policies in schools.
