💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump has announced his intention to sign an executive order to dismantle the US Department of Education. This move follows his campaign promise to abolish the department, which he considers wasteful, and return education authority to the states. The Education Department was established in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter, but Republican presidents have sought to eliminate it since the 1980s. This move makes Trump the first modern president to attempt to shutter a federal department.
