2 Minute Article Trump Pushes To Shut Down Department of Education

The Trump administration is drafting an executive order to initiate the elimination of the Department of Education, aiming to reduce federal oversight in education. This effort involves directing Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to develop a plan and pushing Congress to pass legislation for the department's closure.
