‘The federal Department of Education has never educated a single student,’ Sen Mike Rounds told Fox News Digital
A Republican senator introduced a measure to do away with the Department of Education on Thursday after President-elect Trump suggested doing so on the 2024 campaign trail.
Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., debuted the “Returning Education to Our States Act” in the Senate, which would abolish the Department of Education and charge various other departments with certain responsibilities and programs that are currently administered by it.
During his presidential campaign, Trump said, “One thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and sending all education and education work it needs back to the states.”
