Trump: McMahon will begin process of dismantling Education Dept after Supreme Court win
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling permits the Trump administration to cut nearly half of the Education Department workforce and shift key functions to other federal agencies.
- Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of allowing the Trump administration to continue efforts to reduce the size and staff of the U.S. Department of Education.

- Trump hailed the ruling as a significant win for parents and students, asserting that the federal government's management of education has been detrimental.
- The ruling enables the administration to proceed with layoffs and furthers Trump's goal to diminish federal education control, while critics warn such changes require congressional approval.
