I thought the DoE was created by an act of Congress?

congress thinks he needs permission, because of some law passed long ago, but a law can not remove constitutional powers vested in the chief executive. The law is unconstitutional and the president as head of the executive branch can run it however he sees fit.

Mission of the U.S. Department of Education
ED’s mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access.

Congress established the U.S. Department of Education (ED) on May 4, 1980, in the Department of Education Organization Act (Public Law 96-88 of October 1979). Under this law, ED’s mission is to:

Strengthen the Federal commitment to assuring access to equal educational opportunity for every individual;

Supplement and complement the efforts of states, the local school systems and other instrumentalities of the states, the private sector, public and private nonprofit educational research institutions, community-based organizations, parents, and students to improve the quality of education;

Encourage the increased involvement of the public, parents, and students in Federal education programs;
Promote improvements in the quality and usefulness of education through Federally supported research, evaluation, and sharing of information;

Improve the coordination of Federal education programs;

Improve the management of Federal education activities;

and Increase the accountability of Federal education programs to the President, the Congress, and the public.

Little misleading headline there. I think you would be right. I’d like to read the full WP story but certainly wouldn’t pay them to.

This will be interesting! It was passed as legislation in 1979 and Carter signed it into law in early 1980.

You would think he would need legislation to do completely away with it. Maybe there’s another scheme in mind.

The technical elimination does require Congressional action.

That said—President Trump can take a series of actions to radically reduce agency employment, authority and funding to the point where the agency would exist in name only....

Yay!!! It belongs at the local level. The states should be able to work together. That’s what Governors are for.

And if one state is successful, the other states will emulate them.
