R epublican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, are persistent critics of public K-12 schools and higher education and want to overhaul many aspect

Plans to abolish the U.S. Department of Education—a key part of President-elect Donald Trump’s platform and a priority for his political allies—are a key concern for schools as he prepares to retake the White House in January. But can he—and will he—actually carry through on the promise? And what would it mean if he did?

American Culture Project’s Corey Deangelis says Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the department of education is “amazing”.

Trump has spent little time discussing education, but schools could feel the impact of his administration's policymaking and enforcement.
