President Trump Signs Executive Order to Dismantle Department of Education

In a landmark move today, President Donald Trump signs an executive order initiating the process to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, aiming to shift educational authority back to individual states. The executive order directs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to oversee the department's closure while ensuring the continuity of essential services, such as federal student loans, Pell Grants, and Title I funding for low-income schools.

Federick Ingram with the American Federation of Teachers says the President has given no indication of what this really means.
