The Fascist Felon Moves to Shutter the Department of Education

We all knew this was coming. In fact, Project 2025 that The Fascist Felon claimed to low information voters during the campaign he knew nothing about laid it all out for us.

As early as this week, The Fascist Felon could issue an Executive Order that cuts guts programs and staff at the U.S. Department of Education, including shuttering department programs that are not protected by law and calling on Congress to close the department entirely.

This potential executive action comes after the Trump administration, in recent days, placed dozens of Education Department staff on paid administrative leave with little explanation, saying only that the moves were the result of President Trump’s executive action targeting federal diversity programs.

While the executive action is expected to outline significant cuts to the Education Department and even call for its closure, the department cannot be closed through executive action alone.

The department was created by an act of Congress in 1979 and, as such, can only be closed by an act of Congress.

According ABC:

The proposed order gutting the agency is expected to call for the education secretary to submit a proposal for dismantling the department and for Congress to pass legislation to get rid of it.

Closing down the department would be an extraordinary move that would help Trump inch closer to fulfilling the promise that he made for months on the campaign trail: dismantling it and sending education policy back to the states.
