President Trump signed an executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education, fulfilling a campaign promise, though it requires congressional approval. This event, marked by a symbolic children’s signing, drew immediate backlash from Democrats and education advocates who claim it poses severe risks to students nationwide. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer highlighted the potential harm of dismantling the department, echoing widespread concerns about the implications of such actions. Founded in 1979, the Department represents decades of federal education initiatives, and its closure is seen as a significant threat to education policy.
I will sign an executive order to begin eliminating the Federal Department of Education once and for all, Trump said in remarks before the signing ceremony.
Attempting to dismantle the Department of Education is one of the most destructive and devastating steps Donald Trump has ever taken. This. Will. Hurt. Kids, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on social media within minutes of the ceremony.
