DOGE v. Department of Education

🔴 UPDATE: March 20, 2025
Trump to Sign Executive Order Dismantling the Department of Education, Gutting Public Schools Nationwide

The Trump administration is taking its war on public education to the next level. Trump is set to sign an executive order today directing the dismantling of the Department of Education (DOE), overriding Congress and upending the federal government’s role in ensuring equal access to education. This move, long sought by right-wing extremists and billionaire-funded privatization advocates, will gut protections for millions of students, especially those in marginalized and low-income communities.

Key Developments:

• Trump’s executive order directs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin dissolving the DOE, despite the fact that only Congress has the power to eliminate a federal department.

• The administration claims that programs like Pell Grants and student loans will continue, but without the DOE, oversight of these programs is in jeopardy, leaving millions of students vulnerable.

• Civil rights groups and Democratic-led states are preparing legal challenges, arguing that Trump’s executive order is unconstitutional and will disproportionately harm public schools, students with disabilities, and historically underfunded districts.

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?

The oligarchs win—again. The destruction of the DOE is not about giving power back to the states; it’s about dismantling public education so private corporations and billionaire-funded charter schools can cash in. The wealthy will still have access to elite private education, while working families are left to navigate an underfunded and chaotic system.

Meanwhile, millions of students and families lose. Without the DOE, there is no federal oversight to protect students from discrimination, ensure fair funding, or hold failing schools accountable. Schools in poorer states and communities will suffer the most, deepening educational inequality.

This is the right-wing deep state’s long game—eliminate federal oversight, redirect public money into private hands, and leave everyday Americans with nothing but scraps.

🔍 Why This Matters:

The Department of Education was created to ensure equal access to education for all Americans. If Trump succeeds in dismantling it, millions of students will be at the mercy of state governments—many of which have already shown they are willing to defund public schools in favor of religious and for-profit education.

This is a direct attack on the future of the country. If the next generation is denied a quality education, who benefits? The elites who want an uninformed, powerless public.

🚨 The Bottom Line:

Trump’s executive order is not about improving education—it’s about destroying it.

The GOP is sabotaging America’s education system to serve the billionaire class. If they succeed, the next generation will grow up in an underfunded, unregulated system where only the wealthy get ahead and everyone else is left behind.
