"President Donald Trump wants his pick to run the U.S. Department of Education (ED), Linda McMahon, to 'put herself out of a job,'" Best Colleges reports.

..."While Trump’s plans remain nebulous, educators and advocates with the National Education Association are warning that dismantling the Department of Education would be 'catastrophic.'

Experts warn potential budget cuts and restructuring could erode the department’s authority and capabilities and could strain other departments if its operations were absorbed by another department."
