An executive order — which President Donald Trump is expected to sign sometime this month — was expected to lay out a two-part strategy for shuttering the agency.
The Trump administration is finalizing plans to dismantle the Education Department through an executive order that would build on the president’s campaign promise to hammer the longtime conservative target.
The order — which President Donald Trump is expected to sign sometime this month, according to a White House official — was expected to lay out a two-part strategy for shuttering the agency, according to two people familiar with the plans and granted anonymity to discuss them.
It would direct the department to craft a plan to wind down its functions using its existing administrative authority. But the order was also expected to call for the agency to inventory a complex set of laws needed to delegate the department’s powers to other agencies and then close the department, an acknowledgment that some of conservatives’ biggest desires for change hinge on congressional approval. Such an order would launch a complex initiative. Some conservatives concede they currently lack enough support for legislation to close the department and farm its core functions out to other federal agencies.

What does ‘thread the needle’ mean?
The idiom *thread the needle* means to successfully navigate a difficult or narrow passage or to accomplish a task that requires great precision or skill.
This one act alone makes it worthwhile to have him as President. It’s very bigly.
Tens of thousands of employees and NONE of them TEACH anything!
So WHAT are they doing??
They have to speed run everything. Next year we might have a new senate and congress in charge.
Who are these people?
Now the teachers unions that control education will have very little political power.Trump will take those unions to the wood shed.
lol! love it!
The moaning and gnashing of teeth is going to be glorious!
Sounds good to me.
I attended public school before there ever was a ‘Department of Education’, and I received a far better education than any kid today comes out with.
The same limp wristed, jelly backboned republicans that have been ensconced in Congress for years.
>>It would direct the department to craft a plan to wind down its functions using its existing administrative authority.
Direct them to use their existing administrative authority to push patriotism and anti-communism in schools. The Rats will be clamoring to defund and shutter the DOE.
“So WHAT are they doing??”
They one thing they how to do and are good at, redistribution of our wealth. To themselves, friends and family of course.
lol! I’m having trouble getting anything done due to pulling up and watching videos of the lefties losing their minds; crying and whining....it’s fantastic!
I like this part...”Some conservatives concede *they* currently lack enough support for legislation”
Conservatives? What a hoot...Put their names out there.
The LEGENDARY Thomas Sowell explained the importance of the Department of Education.
Basically, the Leftists were stuck having to position themselves in 50 state capitals in order to destroy ‘education’, some of them being very Red areas (yuck!). Creating the Department of Education was a Godsend for them as it meant they could concentrate all of their evil in one place, in DC.
Last time I checked the Department of Education paid about 15% of the cost of public schools, up from about 7 or 8%, due to “No Child Left Behind” that was dumped on our kids by some idiot president.
But even 7 or 8% was enough to effectively SEIZE CONTROL of all of public education as the Hard Left in DC had willing subjects (that being the teachers and administrators in the ‘wonderful’ public schools that 80% of conservatives send their kids to).
So the takeover was completed...and here we are, looking like IDIOTS to the rest of the world, due to the ‘quality’ of our educational system.
I’ve been hoping for this for the last 20 years.. .We are a Blessed nation to have Donald J Trump as President. God is Good.
