WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Trump just made a shocking announcement: he wants to shut down the U.S. Department of Education IMMEDIATELY! 
Trump has long targeted the department, calling it a “big con job.” Now, he’s pushing for its closure, which could impact billions in school funding and college tuition aid. 
He previously tried to close it during his first term, but Congress blocked the move. This time, he’s pushing harder—assigning his Education Secretary pick, Linda McMahon, to oversee the shutdown.
With over 4,200 employees and a $251 billion budget, the department plays a major role in U.S. education. If Trump gets his way, who will take over its responsibilities? 
Some conservative groups suggest other agencies could handle education aid—but will this work? Or will it create chaos for schools and students?
What do you think? Should the Education Dept be shut down?
