President Trump will sign an executive order Wednesday to start pulling the federal government out of K-12 education, following through on a campaign promise to return schools to state and local control.
The order, dubbed the Education Federalism Executive Order, will launch a 300-day review of Obama-era regulations and guidance for school districts and direct Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal measures deemed an overreach by the federal government, according to a senior administration official
With this executive order, President Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to getting the federal government out of the way and returning control over education back where it belongs at the state and local level, said the officials, who briefed reporters on background in advance of the signing ceremony later Wednesday.
Echoing Mr. Trumps views on education, the official stressed that since the founding of the U.S., schools were intended to be under state control, but the federal government has increasingly usurped that authority.

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not good enough???
Do we need a new FR rule: Post an Ivanka picture any time she is mentioned?
More specifically regarding unconstitutional federal government involvement in INTRAstate schooling, please note the following.
President Thomas Jefferson had officially clarified that the states would first need to ratify an education amendment to the Constitution in order for Congress to get involved in supportiong intrastate schooling, the states never amending the Constitution for such a purpose. And Supreme Court clarifications of the feds constitutinally limited powers support Jeffersons clarification.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
Some California judge will block it and Trump will say “okay.”
Fast track to SCOTUS on this one!
My thought as well. Eventually there is going to be a showdown between Executive & Judicial; something’s gotta give...
Your obsessions with Ivanka are becoming embarrassing.
“While I still question if Trump is aware of the feds constitutionally limited powers, Trumps uncommon common-sense actions emphasizing state and local control are helping to force the corrupt feds back into their Article I, Section 8-limited power cage.”
I am in agreement with your statement here.
An example of his limited “aware[ness] of the feds constitutionally limited powers..” is his desire to give federal control over healthcare, which seems totally at odds with his desire to deconstruct the administrative state and give back “state and local control” for much of the current feds illegal control and “force the corrupt feds back into their Article I, Section 8-limited power cage.”
Just hope Ivanka doesn’t try to muddy the waters here!
Certainly agree with your comments! I have been smiling since the day Donald J. Trump entered the race for President and smiling and jumping for joy since the day he was sworn in as our President!!
The executive order he signed today is one I have been waiting for. As an old public school educator I have been hoping I would see the end of control from DC before the Lord takes me. So nothing but more smiling from me today!
“Next move, disbanding Dept. of Education?
I hope so.”
Me Too!! :)
“Now, it’s time to get the teachers’ unions out of the equation, because teachers’ unions are about the employment rights and political agenda of bureaucracies, not the improved learning performance of children.”
I agree with you totally! And as a former public school teacher of 43 years, I know it is absolutely true. I am proud to say I testified before the Florida House Education Committee to help Governor Scott get his Florida Education Reform Bill passed. It was a lovely day here in the Sunshine State when the law passed making it necessary for every public school teacher renew their contract every year. No more tenure.....which was most of the time tenure for folks who should not be in the classroom to begin with!
bump
YES!
Looks like Trump is going to be cutting into some big money non-teaching positions.
But . . . But . . . He isn’t pouring concrete on the wall this minute.
Lol
Just what I am thinking.
