During his Saturday speech at Temple University’s Liacouras Center, former President Donald Trump pledged to relocate the Department of Education “to the States.”
This would probably mean dismantling the 1979-established Department of Education in favor of giving more authority to each state’s department or agency in charge of public education.
In some states, we’ll be able to achieve much better education while cutting [education spending] in half, according to Trump. “Our education will be the best in the world,”
He went on, though: “Some won’t do as well. I believe a few states, including California and Gavin Newsom, will struggle.
Despite spending more “per pupil” than any other nation, according to Trump, “we’re at the bottom of every list.” “What the heck do you have to lose?” he questioned.
A dissolution of a cabinet department without a subsequent reorganization would be a first for this kind of move. President Jimmy Carter renamed the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to the Department of Health and Human Services and created the Education Department in 1979, the previous time a department had changed titles.
Project 2025 is a set of Heritage Foundation policy recommendations for the upcoming presidential administration, including the elimination of the Department of Education. The modification would curtail the government’s federal education policy without completely eliminating it.
Trump berated President Joe Biden and Democratic leaders for allowing the City of Brotherly Love to be “ravaged by slaughter and crime,” despite the fact that he attended the Wharton School in Philadelphia.
“Very few cities have suffered more than Philadelphia under the Biden administration,” Trump declared before alluding to two recent homicides that were a part of the city’s larger murder and criminality crisis.
He added that Larry Krasner, a filthy Marxist prosecutor in Philadelphia, “had the blood of numerous men, women, and children on his hands, including many thousands of African American citizens,” and he voted to “stand up against Soros-controlled DAs like him” because of his “refusal to prosecute people.”
During his over-90-minute address, Trump also attacked Biden on immigration, inflation, and foreign policy. He claimed that after leaving office, America’s adversaries “laughed at us” and referred to a “new” category of crime known as the Biden migrant crime rate.
Trump informed reporters prior to the rally that he had already decided on his running mate. Before disclosing that a number of well-known Republicans were on his short list of potential vice presidential candidates, he had previously claimed to have made his choice.
When The Washington Examiner met with Trump supporters at the event, they said they liked Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is the greatest option, according to one Trump fan, James Freeman, 40, because “she’s a fighter, she has never wavered, she never backs down.”
Chris Vinsmoke, 21, stated that a black candidate for vice president would be his first choice. Vinsmoke declared that he would first choose Kanye West, then former president Barack Obama, and praised Trump for his role in helping his cousin, musician Kodak Black, secure his release from prison. Nevertheless, despite her race, he voiced his dislike for Kamala Harris, the vice president.
