What happens if Trump dismantles the Department of Education?

It started this week. The Court gave Trump the green light to lay off nearly 1,400 workers in the Department. Not because of budget cuts… but as part of a long-term plan. So what’s the plan?
Trump and his team want to shift power away from Washington, and give states full control over education. That means cutting federal programs, reducing oversight, and outsourcing key services.
On paper, it sounds like efficiency. But here’s the real question: What happens when federal protections are gone? Students in low-income districts could lose access to aid. Federal loan support might disappear. And if your state can’t—or won’t—step in, your school could fall behind.
