Abolish the Education Department
In progress
Promised as a candidate on 2024. Last checked 18 Oct 2026.
“We're going to end education coming out of Washington, D.C. We're going to close it up – all those buildings all over the place and people that in many cases hate our children. We're going to send it all back to the states”
What happened
Staff and functions were cut; abolishing it needs Congress.
