The United States Department of Education is undergoing significant restructuring, with a planned reduction of its workforce by nearly half. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has stated that the layoffs are part of a broader effort to fulfill the president's directive to "shut down" the Department of Education.

    1. Families want help to get students' math and reading scores up and ensure their kids can thrive. Instead, Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the Department of Education and robbing our students and teachers of the resources and support they need, so that Republicans can pay for more massive tax cuts for billionaires.
    1. Presidents Trump and Musk and their billionaire buddies are so detached from how Americans live that they cannot see how ending public education and canceling these contracts kills the American Dream … If kids from working class families do not have access to schools, how can they build a future?
    1. As part of the Department of Education's final mission, the department today initiated a reduction in force impacting nearly 50 per cent of the department's workforce.
    2. Today's reduction in force reflects the Department of Education's commitment to efficiency, accountability, and ensuring that resources are directed where they matter most: to students, parents, and teachers.
    3. His directive to me, clearly, is to shut down the Department of Education, which we know we'll have to work with Congress, you know, to get that accomplished.
    4. But what we did today was to take the first step of eliminating what I think is bureaucratic bloat.
    1. What is clear from the past weeks of mass firings, chaos, and unchecked unprofessionalism is that this regime has no respect for the thousands of workers who have dedicated their careers to serve their fellow Americans.
