Trump Moves to Dismantle Department of Education Amid Backlash

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at eliminating the federal Department of Education, fulfilling a long-standing conservative goal. The move has sparked significant controversy, with GOP governors supporting the decision while educators and local politicians, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams, strongly oppose it. Critics argue that the cuts will harm public schools and students, while supporters claim it will reduce bureaucracy and improve efficiency. The decision is expected to face legal and political challenges as debates over education funding intensify. Protests have already erupted in major cities, with educators and parents demanding the reversal of budget cuts.
