Trump argued that this decentralization would cut costs and\u2062 potentially improve\u200d education quality in some states, although \u2063he expressed concern that others, like California under\u200d Governor\u200b Gavin Newsom, \u2063might not perform \u2064as\u200c well. He highlighted the \u2063high per-pupil spending in the U.S. compared to\u200d international standards, despite poor \u200brankings. Trump&#8217;s proposal aligns with\u2064 the Heritage\u2062 Foundation&#8217;s policy \u200crecommendations for future administrations, suggesting\u200c a reduction \u2062but not an elimination \u200dof federal involvement in education. In his speech, Trump also \u200dcriticized President Joe Biden&#8217;s handling of crime in Philadelphia, using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-begins-kicking-out-8000-homeless-from-hotels-as-city-weathers-crime-spike\/\" title=\"New York Begins Kicking Out 8,000 Homeless From Hotels As City Weathers Crime Spike\">recent violent incidents<\/a> to \u2062underscore his points.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>PHILADELPHIA \u2014<\/strong> Former President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> vowed to move the Department of <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Education<\/a> \u201cto the states\u201d in his <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>rally<\/a> at Temple University\u2019s Liacouras Center on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>This move would likely entail abolishing the Department of Education, which was created in 1979, to empower each state\u2019s own department or agency that oversees public education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll be able to cut [spending on] education in half and get much better education in some of the states,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWe\u2019ll have the best education anywhere in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, he continued, \u201cSome won\u2019t do as well. There are a couple of states like, I would say, Gavin Newsom [and California] will not do well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump noted that the United States spends more \u201cper pupil\u201d than any other country, yet \u201cwe\u2019re at the bottom of every list.\u201d He asked, \u201cWhat the hell do you have to lose?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Such a change would be unprecedented, as no Cabinet department has ever been dissolved without being reorganized in some way. The last time a department changed names came under President Jimmy Carter in 1979, when the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare became the Department of Health and Human Services and the Education Department was established.<\/p>\n<p>It is extremely rare for a federal executive department to be abolished. The last time that happened was under President Jimmy Carter in 1979, when the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare was dissolved.<\/p>\n<p>Abolishing the Department of Education is <a href=\"https:\/\/static.project2025.org\/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>part<\/a> of a collection of Heritage Foundation policy proposals for the next presidential administration called Project 2025. The change would limit, but not entirely remove, the government\u2019s federal education policy.<\/p>\n<p>Trump mentioned that he studied in Philadelphia at the Wharton School but admonished President Joe Biden and Democratic leaders for allowing the City of Brotherly Love to be \u201cravaged by bloodshed and crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFew communities have suffered more under the Biden regime than Philadelphia,\u201d Trump said, before referencing two recent murders as part of a wider murder and crime epidemic in the city.<\/p>\n<p>He voted to \u201cstand up to Soros-controlled DAs like Philadelphia\u2019s despicable Marxist prosecutor Larry Krasner,\u201d who he said has \u201cthe blood of countless men, women, children on his hands, including thousands of African American citizens\u201d over his \u201crefus[al] to prosecute people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump additionally hammered Biden on inflation, immigration, and foreign policy in his nearly 90-minute speech. He said America\u2019s enemies \u201claugh at us\u201d since he left office and mentioned what he calls a \u201cnew\u201d crime category: \u201cIt\u2019s called the Biden migrant crime rate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before the rally, Trump told reporters he had made up his mind on his running mate.
