BREAKING: Trump EO Dismantles Dept. of Education

All education guidelines retuned to the States per order

As promised, on March 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, aiming to transfer educational authority back to state and local governments.

As we’ve discussed previously, this is in line with Project 2025, the authoritarian playbook that he has definitely, most certainly, absolutely not read or tried to fulfill.

Returning education to the states means that traditionally red states with the lowest literacy and most vulnerable education standards will now have absolute control to teach whatever crosses their minds with zero oversight.

Additionally, this move will impact student loans and grants, which are disproportionately used by low-income, first-generation, and minority students, now cut off from higher education.

The executive order comes just after a DOGE infestation that has damaged the ability of the department to function.

Since the Department was literally created through an act of Congress, this move is widely regarded as illegitimate and is expected to be quickly challenged.

Stay tuned for further lunacy.
