Conservatives Urge Trump to Bypass Blue States, Empower Local Schools and Parents with School Choice
- Details
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
As education advocates from the national to local level praise President Donald Trump’s commitment to deliver the four-decade-old conservative policy goal of abolishing the Department of Education, they warn that Democrat-controlled states could implement worse curricula than the federal DOE and ask the president to consider directly funding local school districts or parents through school vouchers.
President Trump campaigned on shuttering the 45-year-old federal department in 2024, and shortly after taking office, he moved swiftly to keep his promise. “The Secretary of Education shall, to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities while ensuring the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely,” stated President Trump’s executive order, issued last Thursday, March 20. He also cut the number of federal employees working in the DOE by approximately half.
Trump Orders a Plan to Dismantle the Education Department While Keeping Some Core Functions

- By Collin Binkley - Moms for Liberty
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling for the dismantling of the U.S. Education Department, advancing a campaign promise to take apart an agency that’s been a longtime target of conservatives.
Trump has derided the Education Department as wasteful and polluted by liberal ideology. However, completing its dismantling is most likely impossible without an act of Congress, which created the department in 1979. Republicans said they will introduce a bill to achieve that.
The department, however, is not set to close completely. The White House said the department will retain certain critical functions.

Public schools in America were vastly superior before the Federal Government turned on the funding faucet. It’s time to write ‘finis’ to federal aid to education… — Phyllis Schlafly
“The long-awaited abolition of the Department of Education has arrived,” said Eagle Forum President Kris Ullman. “Since the unnecessary creation of the Department in 1979, Eagle Forum has worked to dismantle it and return education policy to where it belongs — to the states and local communities. Thank you, President Trump!”

Removing the Christian Corner Stone from Our Country
- Details
- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
America's founding documents clearly demonstrate that our founders believed God ordained this nation. It was Benjamin Franklin addressing the Constitutional Convention on June 28, 1787, cautioning his fellow founders of America with these words: "God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?" May I add to Mr. Franklin's statement, "Is it probable that an empire can remain without His aid?" Our founders had a strong sense of God's presence in the work they were accomplishing, birthing this nation. They reminded each other frequently in whose service they truly were. But something bad has happened in America, and it didn't occur overnight or over a few years. Americans lost their desire to cooperate with God, much less trust Him in the affairs of state.
The Reign of the Department of Un-Education is Ending

Department of Ed Counts Its Days
For more than four decades, Eagle Forum and the conservative movement have called for the Department of Education to be abolished. Since its opening in 1979, radical teachers unions, and leftist politicians have used this agency to push their political ideology into America’s classroom and overstep states’ rights. Young minds have been poisoned, parents’ rights have been eroded and test scores have failed to improve. The pandemic allowed parents to see exactly what their kids were (and sadly were not) learning for the first time in years. In response, they showed up at school board meetings to demand changes in the education system. President Donald Trump has been fulfilling his promises to make American education great again in recent weeks.
