The article discusses a perceived strategy by the Trump administration to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education through drastic cuts and layoffs. It posits that this approach is part of a two-step process: first, empty the institutions, and then rebuild them to ensure loyalty to leadership. The author argues that while the immediate focus has been on the dismantling, the subsequent phase of constructing a new educational framework is also significant and may ultimately affect the integrity and function of the educational system.
The guiding strategy of the Trump administration seems to be to dismantle educational institutions, with a plan to rebuild them in a way that ensures total loyalty.
This strategy isn't just about cuts; it's fundamentally about reshaping institutions to align with a top-down governance where loyalty to leadership is paramount.
The notion of trimming organizational 'fat' while unintentionally cutting vital functions encapsulates a flawed approach to governance that overlooks deeper systemic needs.
Looking back, the drastic cuts executed by the administration may reveal a blueprint for a more loyal but less functional educational system.
