Trump regime

Independent  -    The administration of Donald Trump is continuing its efforts to dismantle the Education Department, reassigning critical oversight responsibilities for special education and civil rights to other federal bodies.

Under the new arrangement, the Department of Justice will assume enforcement duties for civil rights within education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will take charge of special education oversight. These transfers, announced on Tuesday, mean that the bulk of the Education Department's functions have now been distributed across various other agencies.

Trump, a Republican, had previously campaigned on a promise to abolish the Education Department entirely, asserting his intention to "move education back to the states where it belongs."
