BREAKING: Congressman Dan Goldman exposes the real reasoning behind Donald Trump's plan to dismantle the Department of Education — and throws a major wrench in his scheme. We are on the verge of a historic showdown... "Can he legally just dismantle the Department of Education by executive order or does he need Congressional action?" asked Wolf Blitzer on CNN. "Well, ultimately if you eliminate an agency you need Congressional action but just the fact that this is what he's doing shows his disdain for the American people, shows his disdain for public education, shows his disdain for special programs that are essential for so many Americans to use and learn," replied Goldman. "...for Title I which provides extra funding for disadvantaged neighborhoods," he continued. "This is just more and more of Donald Trump's effort to completely slash and burn the American government and cut costs — cut programs really and funding — that goes to the vast majority of working Americans so that he can pave the way for tax cuts for billionaires," he added. This twofold message must be amplified and repeated again and again. First: Trump does not have the power to get rid of the Education Department. If he attempts to do so, the employees must ignore any illegal orders and let the issue play out in the courts. We have presidents, not kings in this country. Second: This is not about efficiency or states rights, this is about privatizing education so that billionaires can loot even more wealth from the middle class and the poor. It paves the way for more tax cuts for the super rich. On top of that, removing the Department of Education helps Republicans cultivate a less educated, more ignorant populace — who will in turn be more likely to vote for Republicans. MAGA politicians know that an educated populace is far more likely to see through their lies and reject their destructive policies. According to CBS News, Trump could soon sign the executive ordering his Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin dissolving the Department of Education. There is already a draft version of the order. The time to stand up and fight is now. If we don't, future generations will be condemned to a new Dark Age.
