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. Trump’s 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.

Which judge will block this order?
Oh my gosh...
All this WINNING!!!
It isn’t that I am getting tired of WINNING.
It is more like I am getting dizzy from all this WINNING!!
Dizzy in a good way. Keep me on this merry go round. I like it.
The one getting the most bribes, er, contributions from the teachers’ unions.
They are shopping for a judge to stop this as I type this. No way the left can let its indoctrination system be taken out.
Y E S S S S S S S S !!!!!
9th circuit anybody?
Though I don’t see what angle they could use to find this one lawless.
YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This is a really wonderful thing.
I’m never going to get tired of this kind of winning.
G*d Bless President Trump for meaning what he said on the campaign trail & doing what he promised. We may have some hiccups but we are going to get there!
You know all the sleaziest judges are getting phone calls as we speak.
Won’t be good enough for some FReepers, because Ivanka
“We had things just the way we wanted until you came along and mess them all up!”
Whaaaa!
Wow....... Holy Chalk Board
I was going to ask...What does President 9th Circuit say about this?
But you have to get in fast these days.
It’s an exciting development, but I agree with the posters above: the elected President can be countermanded by any rogue Leftist judge who doesn’t like power being taken away from FedGov or the big Democrat-controlled cities.
Next move, disbanding Dept. of Education?
I hope so.
What will the Teachers Unions say. The Fed is their money tree. They always say...for the children...but we know that’s a line of cr**.
Oh they’ll have no trouble inventing one. It’s what they do.
