Another promise kept…
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke with the press outside the White House on Thursday about President Trump’s plan to “greatly reduce” the scale of the Department of Education.
“The Department of Education was founded in the 1970 and since then we have spent more than $3 trillion at this bureaucracy. What has been the ROI for the taxpayer? Our children’s test scores are incredibly concerning when it comes to literacy rates, math, and science test scores,” Leavitt said.
“This president is finally taking much-needed action to return education where it belongs. That’s to educators closest to students in their classrooms in their respective states.”

Leavitt also spoke with Fox News about the DOE, saying, “The Department of Education has never educated a child. All it has ever done is stolen money from the taxpayers for more regulation that has hurt our children’s education.”

Trump will sign an executive order to abolish the DOE on Thursday afternoon. Several Republican governors — including Greg Abbott of Texas, Mike Braun of Indiana, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Bill Lee of Tennessee, Brad Little of Idaho, Glenn Youngkin of Virginia, Kim Reynolds of Iowa and Mike DeWine of Ohio — are expected to be in attendance, according to a White House official.
