Staff Reports
President Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education is a bold move to fix a broken system. For decades, this federal agency has wasted taxpayer dollars while failing students. Its bloated bureaucracy and radical policies have hurt families instead of helping them.
Conservatives have fought against federal control of schools for nearly 100 years. Christian leaders warned that Washington would push anti-God ideas on kids. President Reagan tried to shut the department down, but weak politicians in Congress blocked him. Trump is finally delivering what Reagan couldn’t—a return to local control.
The Department of Education is a money pit. It spends billions on programs that don’t work. Special education grants and student loans sound good, but they come with endless rules that tie teachers’ hands. Teachers quit because they’re buried in paperwork, not because they don’t care. Trump’s cuts will free schools from this mess.
School choice is the answer. Parents should pick schools that teach real math, science, and American history—not woke gender ideology. Betsy DeVos fought for vouchers so kids can escape failing schools. The Trump team wants every family to have options, not be stuck with whatever left-wing indoctrination the government offers.
The department’s civil rights office became a weapon against common sense. Instead of protecting all students, it harassed schools over transgender sports and “equity” nonsense. Trump is refocusing on real issues like antisemitism. Letting states handle complaints means faster justice without political agendas.
Liberal states whine about losing federal cash, but the money always comes with strings attached. Programs like Pell Grants and student loans trap families in debt. Trump’s plan to move loans to the Treasury could slash red tape. States like Oklahoma are already preparing to run schools without Washington’s meddling.
Democrats are suing to save their pet projects. They claim Trump can’t fire bureaucrats, but the Constitution gives presidents power to manage agencies. Attacking Trump’s cuts is about keeping control, not helping kids. Real leaders know throwing money at problems doesn’t fix them—good policies do.
The Department of Education failed. Test scores dropped while radical ideas spread. Trump’s vision puts parents in charge, rewards good teachers, and teaches pride in America. It’s time to end the federal experiment and let freedom work.
