White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Thursday that Trump 2.0 is “drastically reducing” the size of the Department of Education. “The great responsibility of educating our nation’s children will return to the states,” Leavitt said. “The Department of Education was founded in the 1970 and since then we have spent more than $3 trillion at this bureaucracy. What has been the ROI for the taxpayer? Our children’s test scores are incredibly concerning when it comes to literacy rates, math, and science test scores,” Leavitt said. “This president is finally taking much-needed action to return education where it belongs.
