Kentucky, Utah, And Ohio Senators Propose Bill To Deal Fatal Blow To Department Of Education
Three Republican senators announced Thursday that they had introduced a bill to completely dismantle the Department of Education by 2026.
Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah, and Bernie Moreno of Ohio put forward the legislation, citing a commitment to decentralization and individual freedom, with the goal of providing high-quality education without federal oversight, according to a press release. If enacted, the Department of Education would be officially dissolved on December 31, 2026.
Although President Donald Trump issued an executive order on March 20 directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to oversee the department’s dismantling, full abolition would require congressional approval. The proposal has met strong opposition from Democrats, with no members of the party expressing support for the move.
