Your understanding of Trump's policies on education are incorrect Trump said he would dissolve the Dept of Ed because they were spending more than other countries & are results were worse. He selected DeVoss because she strongly belived in returning control to communities...

"DeVos will work with President Trump to advance equal opportunities for quality education for all students. DeVos firmly believes that neither the ZIP code in which a child lives nor a child's household income should be the principal determinant of his or her opportunity to receive a world-class education. As secretary, she will advocate for returning control of education to states and localities, giving parents greater power to choose the educational settings that are best for their children and ensuring that higher education puts students on the path to successful careers.

"As secretary, I don't think the Department of Education in Washington should have more power over your decisions than you do," Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos said last week to a cheering crowd at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. "I took this job because I want to return power in education back to where it belongs: with parents, communities and states."

“ Trump said he would dissolve the Dept of Ed ”

Presidents do not create or dissolve cabinet departments. Congress does that, and the Department of Education is a money machine that showers dollars on Congress.

Nice try.
