Outgoing Education Sec. warns of coming 'dark era' with Trump's vow to eliminate the department

The article discusses the concerns of outgoing Education Secretary Miguel Cardona regarding former President Donald Trump's plans to eliminate the Department of Education if he were to return to office. Cardona warns that such a move would usher in a "dark era" for education in the United States, potentially leading to the loss of federal protections for students, including those with disabilities, and the undermining of civil rights in education. He highlights the importance of the Department in providing equal educational opportunities, funding, and accountability. Trump's proposal includes transferring education responsibilities back to the states, which critics argue could result in significant disparities in educational quality and access across different states. Cardona emphasizes the need for continued federal oversight to ensure that education remains a priority and that all students have access to quality education regardless of where they live.
