Summary
Trump is considering executive actions to dismantle the Department of Education, following Elon Musk’s push to slash government spending.
Officials are discussing shutting down non-statutory functions or moving them to other agencies. Dozens of employees were placed on leave under Trump’s order banning diversity programs.
Trump, who promised to eliminate the department, awaits Senate confirmation of Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon.
While Congress must approve agency closures, Trump’s team may replicate its aggressive approach used against USAID.
The irony being you have to be a complete idiot to be on the side that thinks withholding, dismantling, or removing education is a good idea. Wanting to change the curriculum is one thing. Dismantling it just makes you look evil. There is no positive light you could possibly put this in.

Also, that children don’t deserve to eat if their parents can’t afford it
