But the Left isn’t taking it well.
The usual suspects—Democrat politicians, union bosses, and their media mouthpieces—are spinning wild tales of doom. They claim that without federal overlords dictating classroom policy, kids won’t learn. Some even suggest the move would hurl schools into the “dark ages.”
But Leavitt brought the receipts.
“President Trump is not failing America’s children, he is saving America’s children with this action that he will take later today directing Linda McMahon, our great Secretary of Education, to dismantle this federal bureaucracy that has taken more than $3 trillion from the American taxpayers since its inception in 1979,” Leavitt declared during a Fox News interview.
That’s right—$3 trillion gone, with nothing to show but declining results.
The truth is painful for the Left: despite ballooning budgets, the Department of Education has presided over historic lows in student performance. Reading, writing, math—you name it. The scores are down across the board, and students are paying the price.
“And what have we had as a result of that investment in our children’s education?” Leavitt asked. “Declining test scores in reading, writing, and math. Proficiency levels at record lows for eighth graders, for fourth graders, at every level in every state across this country.”
Meanwhile, the real educators—the parents and teachers on the frontlines—have been ignored by out-of-touch bureaucrats in Washington.
Just Released: Trump White House Collector’s Bobblehead!
Leavitt didn’t mince words: “That’s why this President is returning education back to the people, to those closest to our students and our classrooms and that is teachers and educators and parents who know what is best for their children, and we are excited about this event that will be here later in the afternoon at the White House.”
The afternoon event, Leavitt said, would include parents, students, teachers, and governors from across the country—people ready to embrace this new era of local control.
This isn’t just policy—it’s a revolution in education.
And Leavitt made it clear that the Department of Education has never actually educated anyone.
“I will add one more point,” she said. “The Department of Education has never educated a child. All it has ever done is stolen money from the taxpayers for more regulation that has hurt our children’s education and about time a President does something about it and thank God President Trump is.”
Mic drop.
The administration has already started making moves. Nearly half of the Department’s staff has been shown the door, and key responsibilities like student loan management are being reassigned elsewhere.
It’s the beginning of the end for big government’s grip on the classroom.
Failed programs like No Child Left Behind, endless testing mandates, and federal overreach have done little to help kids—but plenty to empower Washington elites. Now, Trump’s plan cuts through the bureaucratic rot and hands the reins back to local communities who actually know their students’ needs.
Democrats can whine and wail all they want, but this isn’t just political posturing—it’s real action.
For decades, conservatives warned that the Department of Education was a disaster. Now, under President Trump, the dismantling has begun—and America’s children may finally get the education they deserve.
