Trump Signed Order Targeting Education Department Closure
US President Donald Trump is set to sign an order targeting the closure of the Department of Education.
Surrounded by school children sitting at desks, Trump smiled as he signed to begin “eliminating the federal Department of Education once and for all.”
“We are going to shut it down as quickly as possible,” he added.
“Everybody knows it’s right. We have to get our children educated. We’re not doing well with the world of education in this country and we haven’t in a long time,” he continued.
The move is getting a lot of backlash and is set to be voted for in congress, which Democrats have already vowed to fight.
But what does this mean?
The order would leave school policy entirely in the hands of the states.
Trump hasn’t even been in office for 100 days and has already caused a stir in many other government departments.
Do you agree with this bold move?
