Trump just made one move that has the Education Department in panic mode

Donald Trump is wasting no time draining the swamp in his second term.

The deep state bureaucrats are fighting back with everything they have.

And Trump just made one move that has the Education Department in panic mode.

Trump takes his fight to dismantle the Education Department to the highest court

President Trump promised on the campaign trail that he would eliminate the Department of Education and return control of schools back to parents and local communities.

Now he’s following through on that promise in a big way.

The Trump administration just asked the Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling that’s blocking the President from firing roughly half of the Education Department’s workforce.

Trump’s plan would slash the department’s staff from 4,133 employees down to just 2,183 workers as part of his "final mission" to dismantle the bloated federal bureaucracy.

The move comes after a federal appeals court rejected the administration’s request to lift an injunction that’s preventing the mass layoffs.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with a lower court judge who found that the massive reduction in staff would make it "effectively impossible for the department to carry out its statutorily mandated functions."

But Trump isn’t backing down from his fight to eliminate one of the most wasteful agencies in the federal government.

Liberal states and unions band together to protect the swamp

The Education Department has become a bastion of woke ideology that pushes radical gender theory and critical race theory on America’s children.

Instead of focusing on reading, writing, and arithmetic, the department has spent taxpayer dollars promoting transgender ideology in schools and attacking parents who dare to question what their kids are being taught.

No wonder 21 liberal states, five labor unions, and two school districts filed lawsuits to stop Trump from cleaning house.

These groups know that firing half the department’s workforce would cripple their ability to push their radical agenda on American families.

U.S. District Judge Myong Joun ruled that the layoffs were an attempt to shut down the department without the necessary approval of Congress, which created the agency in 1979.

But Trump’s team argues that cutting bloated government agencies is exactly what the American people voted for when they gave him a mandate in November.

The Supreme Court holds the key to Trump’s education agenda

The Trump administration maintains that the staff cuts are a "lawful effort to streamline the agency and cut bloat."

They’re absolutely right.

The Department of Education has grown into a massive bureaucracy that wastes billions of taxpayer dollars while American students continue to fall behind other countries in math, reading, and science.

Since the department was created over 40 years ago, per-pupil spending has skyrocketed while test scores have remained flat or declined.

It’s clear that centralizing education policy in Washington, D.C. has been a disaster for American children.

Parents and local school boards know what’s best for their communities, not faceless bureaucrats sitting in federal office buildings.

The Supreme Court now has the opportunity to support Trump’s efforts to return power to the people where it belongs.

Time to eliminate the Department of Education once and for all

The Department of Education represents everything that’s wrong with the federal government.

It’s an overpriced, underperforming bureaucracy that meddles in local affairs and pushes a woke agenda that most Americans reject.

Trump’s plan to slash the department’s workforce is just the first step toward eliminating it entirely.

The agency has failed American students for decades while enriching government employees and contractors.

It’s time to shut it down and let parents and local communities take back control of their schools.

The Supreme Court should side with Trump and allow him to drain this particular corner of the swamp.

American families deserve better than a bloated federal bureaucracy that puts politics ahead of their children’s education.
