Trump admin to tout efforts to shut down Education Department as school year begins
As students return to classrooms this week, President Trump and Linda McMahon will host a back-to-school event highlighting their efforts to shut the department down.
The Trump administration hosted a Back to School event at the White House on Monday to showcase their efforts to enhance school choice and potentially dismantle the Department of Education. President Donald Trump and Secretary Linda McMahon were among the speakers, along with supporters advocating for these initiatives. The event aimed to highlight the administration's education reforms, such as the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, and McMahon's work to return department responsibilities to the states.
McMahon emphasized putting parents back in control of their children's education and defending their rights. Education advocate Tiffany Justice praised the administration for prioritizing school choice. The administration's goal is to expand real school choice, allowing families to decide what's best for their children, rather than bureaucrats.
President Trump has prioritized policies to change curriculum and address gender issues in schools, and First Lady Melania Trump's Fostering the Future initiative supports children aging out of the foster care system.
