President Trump has drafted an executive order to officially “eliminate” the Dept. of Education, according to the Wall Street Journal. The president will direct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take all necessary steps to facilitate its closure.

“The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars—and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support—has failed our children, our teachers, and our families,” the draft order reads. 

Abolishing the Dept. of Education has been a key promise the president made on the campaign trail.

“Oh, I’d like it to be closed immediately. Look at the Department of Education. It’s a big con job,” he said last month. “They ranked the top countries in the world. We’re ranked No. 40, but we’re ranked No. 1 in one department: cost per pupil. So, we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world, but we’re ranked No. 40.”

The Dept. of Government Efficiency recently announced they had uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in wasteful spending at the DOE.

Of that $881 million, DOGE identified $101 million that was being used for DEI training, including teaching educators to “help students understand/interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression, and help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an individual and collective basis.”

McMahon strongly hinted that the days of the DOE would not be long.

“This is our opportunity to perform one final, unforgettable public service to future generations of students,” Ms. McMahon wrote in an email obtained by The New York Times. “I hope you will join me in ensuring that when our final mission is complete, we will all be able to say that we left American education freer, stronger and with more hope for the future.”

This is will be the most consequential executive order of the entire Trump presidency. The radical leftward lurch that our nation has undergone is a direct result of the Dept. of Education.

“We will drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s youth with all sorts of things that you don’t want to have our youth hearing,” Trump said at a September rally in Wisconsin.

Many of our nation’s taxpayer-funded classrooms have become indoctrination centers for anti-American ideology. Many teachers are radicalizing children. This is the engine driving the dangerous ideological change in this country.

As I wrote in “Twilight’s Last Gleaming: Can America Be Saved?” control of our schools must be returned to the local level. Otherwise, we will never be able to make America great again. And there are great fears that we might lose the Republic.
