  • Donald Trump, backed by Elon Musk, is considering dismantling the U.S. Department of Education to shift control of schools to individual states. The move aligns with Trump's broader plan to reduce federal influence and streamline governance.

The article discusses a plan by former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. This initiative is part of a broader push to reduce federal government size and influence, particularly in education. Trump, who has previously criticized the Department of Education, aims to return educational control to state and local levels, arguing that this would lead to better educational outcomes. Elon Musk, known for his involvement in various industries, supports this move, emphasizing the need for educational reform to foster innovation and reduce what he perceives as bureaucratic inefficiencies. The plan includes reallocating the Department's responsibilities, potentially privatizing some functions, and significantly cutting its budget. Critics of this plan worry about the potential for increased educational inequality and the loss of federal oversight on civil rights and educational equity.
