A judge body slammed Linda Mcmahon and Trumps efforts to shutter the Department of Education today

The record abundantly reveals that defendants' true intention is to effectively dismantle the department without an authorizing statute," wrote Joun, an appointee of President Donald Trump's Democratic predecessor Joe Biden.
Lawyers with the Justice Department argued that the mass terminations were not an effort to shutter the agency but a lawful effort to eliminate bureaucratic bloat while fulfilling its overall statutory mission more efficiently.
But Joun said the cuts were having the opposite effect, as the "massive reduction in staff has made it effectively impossible for the department to carry out its statutorily mandated functions."

Democratic attorneys general from 20 states and the District of Columbia as well as school districts and teachers' unions then sued.
They said the cuts rendered the department unable to meet its duties to administer funding for public schools, student loans for college students and to enforce civil rights law.

EO's are temporary until a different President comes along and reverses it. When you have both houses do the permanent thing and get congress to eliminate it.

Oh, I tots believe anything a Marxist says without question. Because they're so credible, and sh*t.

Wait; no I don't because I know if a Marxist opens their mouth, they're lying.

I'm really not sure why they act so surprised; Trump has never made it a secret that shuttering the DoE is his end goal. Nor is it a secret that half (at least) the country agrees with that noble goal.

Personally, I believe there ought to be a minimum amount of oversight, rather than dumping it all off on the states, because California, New York, and other Demonrat hell-holes where they don't give a shiite about educating children.
