Trump Education Order Shifts Duties to Other Agencies While Radical Left States Crack Down on Homeschoolers – Liberty Sentinel

While President Donald Trump’s executive order gutting certain bureaucratic elements of the Department of Education is a step in the right direction, the order does not eradicate the department and actually shifts many federal financial controls to other agencies, explains The New American’s Alex Newman for Behind The Deep State. President Trump’s move is helpful to advance the national conversation on the abysmal results of government-run “education,” but to fully dismantle the department, it would require an act of Congress, which Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer says would be dead on arrival. 

Trump’s stated vision is to have states control education, but ultimately, parents and families must take full responsibility for their children, without federal or state involvement. Even states, Newman argued, are not trustworthy to steward educational issues, as many left-wing states, such as Illinois, are currently pushing bills to persecute homeschool families with arbitrary requirements and government intervention.
