Trump ramps up Education Department's dismantling with changes on special education and civil rights

Trump's administration is making significant changes by shifting oversight of special education and civil rights from the Department of Education to other agencies, indicating a broader push to reduce the department's regulatory role. This move has sparked concerns among advocates for students with disabilities and civil rights groups, who worry about the potential for reduced protections and less accountability. The shift reflects a larger trend in the administration to deregulate and redirect federal oversight, which could have lasting implications for educational equity and student rights.
