Yesterday I gave you a heads up that President Trump would be ENDING the Department of Education today.
Here was that report:
BREAKING: President Trump To END The Department of Education Tomorrow!
And now our reporting has been confirmed accurate once again, because he just did it!
In an absolutely historic moment, President Trump just signed an Executive Order that will completely dismantle and end the Department of Education:

Always the showman, President Trump setup a mini-school room and invited school aged kids in to sign the order with him.
He even sat at a small desk!
Trump does everything with style and flair:

Did you know the Department of Education has squandered THREE TRILLION DOLLARS since it's inception?
What a massive waste:
The failed federal Department of Education has taken THREE TRILLION DOLLARS from the American taxpayer since the agency was founded in 1979.
Education scores have only gone down since then.
Trump is doing the right thing ordering it shut down.pic.twitter.com/Gjsd9xCAA6

And I thought this was fascinating from Glenn Beck....
You can always count on Glenn to come up with different and unique angles on things, and he did it again here, pointing out the original charter of the Dept. of Education was NOTHING like what it became:
Has anyone who opposes Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education actually read its founding documents?

Has anyone who opposes Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education actually read its founding documents?
From the Department of Education Organization Act: "The establishment of the Department of Education shall NOT increase the authority of the Federal Government over education or diminish the responsibility for education, which is reserved to the States and the local school systems and other instrumentalities of the States."
"It is the intention of the Congress in the establishment of the Department to PROTECT the rights of State and local governments and public and private educational institutions...and improve the control of such governments and institutions over their own educational programs and policies."
By stripping the Department of its power, Trump is UPHOLDING the will of Congress, not defying it.
What a great insight, thank you Glenn!
So true!
Every single one of these agencies has vastly outgrown it's original purpose.

And while they were beefing last week, it was nice to see Thomas Massie praise President Trump and offer a Bill in Congress that would work hand in glove with President Trump's Executive Order:
Bravo! Congress should support President Trump’s bold agenda by passing my bill, HR 899 to Abolish the Department of Education. We could also use recisions and the budget reconciliation process, which only require 51 votes in the Senate, to back him up.https://t.co/bjLxGdmPiH pic.twitter.com/zG7a4sBBw9

Here's more, from Fox News:
President Donald Trump is moving forward with plans to abolish the Department of Education.
Trump is expected to sign an executive order following through on a campaign promise to disband the department, claiming on the campaign trail that the department was full of "radicals, zealots and Marxists."
A White House fact sheet states that the move will "turn over education to families instead of bureaucracies. Trump and proponents of eliminating the department have long said the agency has failed American students.
"NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) scores reveal a national crisis — our children are falling behind," Harrison Fields, the White House principal deputy press secretary, told Fox News. "Over the past four years, Democrats have allowed millions of illegal minors into the country, straining school resources and diverting focus from American students."
"Coupled with the rise of anti-American CRT and DEI indoctrination, this is harming our most vulnerable," he added. "President Trump's executive order to expand educational opportunities will empower parents, states, and communities to take control and improve outcomes for all students."
The directive comes after the Senate voted to confirm Linda McMahon, former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), to lead the agency on March 3. McMahon issued a memo later that day outlining her support for the Trump administration's plans for the department and that she would oversee a "new era of accountability" in the agency's final days.
"The reality of our education system is stark, and the American people have elected President Trump to make significant changes in Washington," McMahon said in the March 3 memo. "Our job is to respect the will of the American people and the President they elected, who has tasked us with accomplishing the elimination of bureaucratic bloat here at the Department of Education — a momentous final mission — quickly and responsibly."
Following reports that Trump planned to sign the executive order, the American Federation of Teachers issued a statement imploring Congress to oppose the executive order and "to make clear to the president that the federal government, in the face of this order, will not abdicate its responsibility to all children, students and working families, who deserve a future full of promise and possibility, not diminished dreams."
