As of the writing of this post, President Trump should be signing an executive order abolishing the Department of Education. Trump sent out invitations to quite a few people to attend the signing ceremony, including Christopher Rufo.
This is the culmination of a long campaign. Republicans have promised to abolish the Department of Education for almost fifty years, but only President Trump is getting it done. An incredible moment in history. pic.twitter.com/AHUYemueKx

This is truly a day to celebrate the return to state, local and family sovereignty over the education of American children.

Long overdue, let's get it done.

He still needs Congress to approve an Act to formally shut it down - although if they refuse to do that, he can still get rid of everyone but a single person.

Good point.
This is progress, but only Congress can nail the coffin lid shut.

Rep. Thomas Massie already has the legislation ready to go:
Bravo! Congress should support President Trump’s bold agenda by passing my bill, HR 899 to Abolish the Department of Education. We could also use recisions and the budget reconciliation process, which only require 51 votes in the Senate, to back him up.https://t.co/bjLxGdmPiH pic.twitter.com/zG7a4sBBw9

For the average salary of a Department of Education employee, a local school could pay the average salary of nearly two teachers. Removing the DOE will allow more teachers to be hired locally and less money to be wasted on the administrative costs of running DOE.

We'll post the video of the signing ceremony when it becomes available.
