Summary

Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced the Returning Education to Our States Act, aiming to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, a long-time Republican goal aligned with Trump’s agenda.

The bill proposes redistributing the department’s $200 billion budget and responsibilities to other federal agencies and states, such as shifting federal student loans to the Treasury.

Critics warn this could undermine protections for students with disabilities and marginalized groups.

While the bill faces significant political hurdles, it reflects broader GOP efforts to reduce federal influence over education policy.

    Absolutely no politician deserves a seat at the very table they are trying to destroy.

    No Republican (with the exception of two – Romney and Cheney) has condemned J6 and until they do, they absolutely should not get to sit in office.

    Yet…here we are.
