President Trump has officially announced his plan to shut down the U.S. Department of Education, a move that conservatives have long advocated for in an effort to return control of education policy to states and local communities.
The Department of Education, established in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter, has ballooned into a massive bureaucracy that imposes federal mandates on schools, promotes leftist ideology, and mismanages student loan programs.

Why Trump Wants to Close the Department of Education
✔ Restoring Local Control – Education decisions should be made at the state and local level, where parents and educators understand the unique needs of their communities.
✔ Eliminating Federal Overreach – For decades, the Department of Education has forced progressive policies, including critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and equity-based grading systems, onto local school districts.
✔ Cutting Government Waste – The Department of Education operates on a bloated budget while delivering minimal results, leading to declining student performance nationwide.
✔ Reforming Student Loan Programs – The department’s mismanagement of student loan forgiveness programs has resulted in financial chaos, further incentivizing reckless borrowing rather than focusing on real education reform.
What’s Next?
Trump’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education would shift responsibilities back to state governments, where education can be customized to meet the needs of students, rather than dictated by Washington bureaucrats.
This historic shift would be a win for parents, students, and educators who believe in school choice, merit-based learning, and a return to traditional American values in education.
