President-elect Donald Trump has promised sweeping changes to federal agencies, but there’s one he wants to do away with altogether: the Department of Education.
Closing the department — an off-and-on Republican goal since it was created in 1979 — would require congressional approval, and it’s unlikely Trump would have sufficient support. But Trump has made this promise often, and many Republicans are with him, arguing that the department is unnecessary, ineffective and a tool of a “woke” culture war.
