Official admits Dept. Of Education is spending tax dollars on illegals and dodging DOGE oversight

By Logan Washburn | The Federalist Department of Education staff remove citizenship requirements from legislation, offer programs to illegal immigrants, and are using a messaging app to avoid oversight from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to an undercover video published Feb. 20 by Project Veritas. “If Congress actually knew that we don’t ask that [citizenship status], there would be a lot of, probably, a lot of uproar,” said DOE Branch Chief Travis Combs. “You know how they have like sanctuary cities? We would be a sanctuary program where we’re spending federal dollars on illegal immigrants.” Ignoring Citizenship Combs is a branch chief in the DOE’s office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education, according to LinkedIn. He said in the video...

Thies: DOGE cost-cutters should audit these Education Department programs next

By Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist , Commentary The U.S. Department of Education is one of the most hated agencies in the government, consistently catching the ire of conservatives and education advocates who want it abolished for its wasteful spending and deep state control over education policies. Last week, President Donald Trump said he would like to see the Department of Education “closed immediately,” calling it a “con job.” He noted that America spends more money per student than almost every other country while delivering poor academic outcomes. Auditors from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have already slashed hundreds of millions in waste. Secretary-designate Linda McMahon, who had her Senate confirm...

Rufo: How to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education

By Christopher F. Rufo | Commentary, City Journal There is a tingle of fear in any corporation whenever the words “restructuring,” “merger,” “acquisition,” or “hostile takeover” spread through the office. Employees work on their resumes, whisper about projected layoffs, and assess their options. We’re seeing the same phenomenon unfold right now in our nation’s capital. Since taking over last month, President Trump has promised to blitz through federal departments to roll back waste, cut ideological programs, and return fiscal sanity to American governance. While Republican presidents have long promised to “reduce the size of government,” they have usually failed to do so—the bureaucracy always wins. This time might be different. The second Trump administration has been surprising...

Eden: A comprehensive guide to overhauling higher education

By Max Eden | Commentary, Washington Examiner Five years ago, President Donald Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, stood all but alone against the Democratic drive for student loan forgiveness. The conventional wisdom at the time was that free-college-for-all was a sure-fire winning issue for the Democrats. Why wouldn’t Trump’s education secretary simply allow a polite, quiet surrender? How the times have changed. America has spent the past four years under an administration that governed according to university-created woke ideology. In the past year alone, college presidents kowtowed to pro-genocidal campus quad glampers. All of this has totally flipped Republicans, and so many people in general, against our universities. No one is wondering whether T...

Trump plans to shift school funding control to local communities, has yet to pick DOE secretary

By Jamie Joseph  | Fox News President-Elect Donald Trump has proposed a dramatic shakeup in American education: "disbanding" or drastically reducing the power of the Department of Education (DOE), a move that would shift control and funding of public schools back to local communities. While Trump's specific plan and choice of secretary have yet to be announced, Neal McCluskey, the director for educational freedom at libertarian think tank Cato Institute, said there's a high likelihood Trump's agenda of shuttering the DOE could be carried out through "block granting." "Block granting is a little easier for people to understand, because it takes money and it doesn't just suddenly go away from states and districts, it keeps it," McCluskey told Fox News Digital in an in...
