As per the \u2064report, mcmahon emphasized her commitment to transitioning educational control back \u200bto the states, asserting that the DOE has not <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">positively impacted student outcomes<\/a>, with declining performance in math\u200c and reading evident in recent assessments.\u200d Although a\u2064 complete dissolution of the DOE would likely require a important Senate majority, Trump and his supporters argue \u200bthat after decades of unsatisfactory results,\u2063 there is a need for change in how education\u200d is administered in America.

The Wall Street Journal revealed on Wednesday that it obtained a draft of President Donald Trump&#8217;s executive order, indicating that the Trump administration plans to shut down the DOE. The draft instructs DOE Secretary Linda McMahon to &#8220;take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure.&#8221; It further states that &#8220;the experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars \u2014 and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support \u2014 has failed our children, our teachers, and our families.&#8221; According to the Journal, McMahon expressed her intention in a Monday night message after her confirmation to &#8220;return education back to the states.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>President Trump and Americans have tasked us with eliminating bureaucratic inefficiencies at the Education Department as part of a significant final mission, she added. While Congress is not mentioned in this draft, completely dismantling every function of the DOE would require a 60-vote majority in the Senate. Established under former President Jimmy Carter in 1979, the DOE is not an enduring fixture of government.<\/p>\n<p>If there had been measurable improvements for students since its inception, it might warrant defense amid this news. However, results are discouraging; Fox News reported in January that math and reading scores for 13-year-olds are at their lowest levels in decades based on data from 2022-2023. Additionally, The Washington Stand noted that fourth graders achieved their lowest science test scores since testing began in 1995 during this same period.<\/p>\n<p>Given these outcomes, one might question why we should maintain an ineffective department like this one. According to USA Spending data, over $100 billion is allocated across various components within DOE\u2014though it seems minor compared to federal debt exceeding trillions\u2014there&#8217;s still waste needing reduction somewhere. <\/p>\n<p>The debate isn&#8217;t about whether education matters; future leaders need quality educational opportunities which should be provided by what claims to be &#8220;the greatest country on Earth.&#8221; The real question lies in who should manage achieving this goal: Trump supporters advocate for state control after decades without significant progress from DOE while those on the left defend big government\u2019s role with respect to it.
