During a recent press conference, President Trump highlighted his commitment to closing the Department of Education, calling it a bureaucratic waste. This comes as Linda McMahon, his nominee for education secretary, faces Senate approval process. Trump aims to direct her to dismantle the department while seeking Congressional approval to abolish it entirely. The implications of this move could significantly affect federal education funding and resources for schools. Opponents, including Democratic Senators, are questioning McMahon's lack of experience and the potential impacts on public education.
