WASHINGTON (AP) — The Education Department is breaking off several of its main offices and giving their responsibilities to other federal agencies, an early look at how President Donald Trump could fulfill his campaign pledge to close the department entirely.
Offices that serve the nation’s schools and colleges would go to departments ranging from Labor to Interior. Education officials say the moves won’t affect the money Congress gives states, schools and colleges. They didn’t say whether current department staff would keep their jobs.
Since he took office, Trump has called for the dismantling of the Education Department, saying it has been overrun by liberal thinking. Agency leaders have been making plans to parcel out its operations to other departments, and in July the Supreme Court upheld mass layoffs that halved the department’s staff.
In recent days, Education Secretary Linda McMahon has started a public campaign for the end of her department, making the case on social media that Education’s grantmaking and question-answering functions could be better handled by states and other federal agencies.
While the necessity of the department is up for debate, it’s also unclear how well-equipped other state and federal departments are to take over the Education Department’s responsibilities. The department sends billions of dollars to schools and colleges and helps decipher complex federal laws. It will be a test for the administration: Can the department be shut down smoothly, or will rural and low-income kids and students with disabilities — the populations that most rely on federal education support — be impacted?

American Pravda “schooling” us. What nonsense!!!
No need to read further...
The corruption/graft run deeper than any Pacific Ocean trench...
The overt support of communist indoctrination is displayed, every day, in the violent streets of America...
My mom wrote her out of the will.
I would say that we can start hiring conservative, American teachers again who understand the correct biological sex lives of humans. Sexual disorientation is not what they study.
Get rid of the National Science Foundation too! The NSF has a disaster for setting standards.
flush common core down the drain
get rid of woketardism
No federal tax payer funds to any educational systen anywhere anytime. Education is a state not federal issue.
It means an improvement to local schools.
“...or will rural and low-income kids and students with disabilities — the populations that most rely on federal education support — be impacted?”
It has been stated again and again that these programs predate the creation of the Department and are in no danger of being eliminated.
While the necessity of the department is up for debateThis is what happens when you change the terms of the debate. We'd never see that from AP prior to Trump.
Thank God.
Given the money being spent on many schools throughout the nation via local school bonds, you’d think we’d be getting more bang for the buck. All these nice pretty facilities are, in general, still turning out mush-brains by the hundreds. Don’t get me started on technical colleges.
For good!
Yes, thanks be to God Almighty.
And Dismantle the programs don’t just move them hhs or somewhere.
Military MEN would have DISCIPLINE in the classroom, instead of these SAPPY OLD WOMEN who the kids do not respect. They would take NO CRAP!!!!
