| Trump says he wants ''con job'' Education Department closed ''immediately'' |
| 2025-02-13 |
| [NYPOST] President Trump said Wednesday he wants to shut down the Department of Education as soon as possible. ''I'd like it to be closed immediately,'' he told news hounds in the Oval Office, describing the agency as ''a big con job.'' He blasted the US education system for being ranked 40th in the world, but being ranked No. 1 for ''cost per pupil.'' ''Send it back to Iowa, to Idaho, Colorado,'' Trump went on, keeping to his pledge to put education back to the states. The 78-year-old president is reportedly considering issuing an executive order that would move many DOE functions to other agencies, only keeping those functions that are explicitly written in statute, The Wall Street Journal reported.
