Trump signs executive order aimed at dismantling U.S. Department of Education

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to eliminate the U.S. Education Department, stating it is wasteful and influenced by liberal ideology, during an event in the White House's East Room with students and teachers present.
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, pledged to challenge the order legally, saying, 'See you in court.'
Polls indicate strong opposition to the dismantling of the Education Department, with about 60% of registered voters against Trump's plan, according to a Quinnipiac poll.
Despite the executive order, the Department of Education will continue to manage federal student loans and Pell Grants, as confirmed by the White House.
