Federal Education Department Faces Unprecedented Trump Order

Elon Musk’s agency is reportedly investigating the Federal Education Department, raising concerns about federal education data security.

Federal Education Department Faces Unprecedented Trump Order

US President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order dismantling the Federal Education Department, fulfilling a major campaign pledge.

The White House confirmed Trump’s plans to issue executive orders but did not reveal specifics on the Federal Education Department closure. During his campaign, Trump had criticized the department for excessive spending and vowed to return power to individual states.

Trump has accused the department of promoting liberal ideologies, signing multiple orders addressing race, gender, and campus protests. The move requires congressional approval, though an executive order could significantly limit the Federal Education Department’s authority and funding.

Trump’s nomination of Linda McMahon as education secretary signaled his intent to scale back the Federal Education Department’s influence. The Washington Post reported that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating the department’s data handling.

Following Musk’s crackdown on USAID, Trump is now targeting the Federal Education Department, potentially reshaping federal oversight in education. Experts warn that shutting down the department could disrupt education policies, funding, and nationwide academic standards.

Critics argue Trump’s push to eliminate the department is politically motivated, jeopardizing critical programs supporting students and teachers.
