The Trump administration is dismantling the Department of Education through layoffs and budget cuts, signaling a federal retreat from education. This includes efforts to impound funding, change student loan systems, and pressure schools on diversity programs. Critics question the impact on students and the shift of responsibilities.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration's plan to lay off half of the Department of Education's workforce. This is a step towards Trump's goal of dismantling the department, which he has long sought to shrink. The department oversees student loans and funding for programs.
