  • White House officials have prepared an executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin the process of dismantling the department, the sources said. Trump could sign the document as early as Thursday, but plans had not yet been finalized.

The article from MSN discusses a potential executive order by former President Donald Trump aimed at dismantling the U.S. Department of Education. This move is part of Trump's broader strategy to appeal to his voter base by reducing federal oversight in education, which he and his supporters argue would return control to local entities and reduce what they perceive as unnecessary federal bureaucracy. The order would likely involve transferring or eliminating the department's functions, with education policy potentially being managed by states or other federal agencies. Critics argue that this could lead to disparities in educational quality and funding across different states, potentially harming educational equity. The article also mentions that this proposal reflects Trump's ongoing critique of the federal government's role in education, a stance he has maintained since his presidency. However, as of the article's publication, no such order had been signed, and the proposal remains in the discussion phase.
