- The Trump administration has gutted staffing at the agency.
- The Education Department’s statement on Tuesday said its latest actions aim to “reduce federal bureaucracy.”
- Trump’s dismantling of the Education Department has been criticized by education advocates while civil rights advocates have been critical of his crackdown on diversity initiatives in the government and private sector.
- Trump has used the Education Department and other federal agencies to launch probes against universities and schools over a range of issues like pro-Palestinian protests against Israel’s assault on Gaza, diversity practices, climate initiatives and transgender policies.
- Civil rights advocates have also condemned Trump’s reshaping of cultural and historical institutions, saying his actions and executive orders are reversing decades of social progress and undermining the acknowledgment of critical phases of American history.
