Dismantling the U.S. Education Department will cut costs and improve learning, says President Trump.

The Education Department has used "guidance" letters to force states, colleges and districts to spend hundreds of millions of dollars.

Linda McMahon is the new Education secretary, but will she be able to restore DOGE-ordered cuts in research and data collection?

President Trump called the Education Department a "big con," and said most states could do better on their own.
