AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday to scale down the Department of Education β a move that is expected to spur lawsuits challenging the directive and will likely require Congressional approval.
Trump frequently has discussed plans to nix the Department of Education dating back to the campaign trail, and said in September 2024 that he wanted to cut down on the federal governmentβs influence over education to "stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate Americaβs youth."
