Summary
*Closes Dept of Ed, shifting education to states, citing federal failure & bureaucracy. Rationale: low scores, inefficient student loans. Republicans risk inequality; Dems ignore valid reform needs.* *Dismantles Dept of Ed, returning education control to states, claiming federal failure. Action defunds federal initiatives, prioritizing state/local control & ending DEI/gender ideology in fed programs. Republicans may overlook equity; Dems dismiss valid bureaucracy critiques.*
