The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration can implement substantial staff cuts to the federal Department of Education, allowing nearly 1,400 employees to be laid off. This decision reverses a previous ruling by US District Judge Myong Joun, which stated that such cuts could incapacitate the department's functions, including overseeing student loans and enforcing civil rights in education. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon praised the ruling as beneficial for students and families. Critics believe these actions reflect an effort to dismantle federal agencies, significantly impacting American education.
