President Donald Trump outlined the reasons for closing the Department of Education, once again highlighting the poor or nonexistent work being done in these offices.
"They're not doing a good job. And if you look at our
education process, and if you look at the charts, because they have numerous
ones where they present the top 40, we're ranked 37, 38, 39, and 40."
"And recently, during Biden's last few days, they were
last. So they were ranked 40. And yet, we're number one in cost per pupil. So
it's pretty bad. But for several states, we have a dream."
"And you know what the dream is? We're going to move
the Department of Education. We're going to move education to the states so
that the states, instead of bureaucrats working in Washington, can manage
education."
