Trump’s Dismantling of the Department of Education Takes Worrying Turn

President Trump has intensified efforts to dismantle the Department of Education by transferring key offices to other departments. The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services is moving to the Department of Health and Human Services, and civil rights issues are being shifted to the Department of Justice. These changes are alarming, particularly given Trump's broader agenda to reduce the role and influence of the Department of Education, raising concerns about the future of education policy and civil rights protections.
