President Donald Trump is reportedly set to sign an executive order that would &#8220;facilitate the closure” of the Department of Education. 
A draft of an executive order to begin dismantling the department has been prepared and could be signed sometime on Thursday, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/draft-of-trump-executive-order-aims-to-eliminate-education-department-5315c3a4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Trump has repeatedly said that he would like to shut down the department and return education fully over to the states. 
“The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars—and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support—has failed our children, our teachers, and our families,” a draft of the order obtained by the Journal and labeled “pre-decisional” reads. 
The draft directs Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department” to “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.”
McMahon, who was confirmed on Monday, released a <a href="https://www.ed.gov/about/news/speech/secretary-mcmahon-our-departments-final-mission" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> that same day on the department&#8217;s &#8220;final mission&#8221; promising to “restore the rightful role of state oversight in education and to end the overreach from Washington.”
“As you are all aware, President Trump nominated me to take the lead on one of his most momentous campaign promises to families,” she said. “My vision is aligned with the President’s: to send education back to the states and empower all parents to choose an excellent education for their children.”
Trump campaigned on getting rid of the Education Department, saying that it had been used to indoctrinate American school children. 
“I say it all the time, I’m dying to get back to do this. We will ultimately eliminate the federal Department of Education,” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-department-of-education-may-be-on-the-chopping-block-what-could-that-look-like" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a September rally in Wisconsin. “We will drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s youth with all sorts of things that you don’t want to have our youth hearing.”
According to legal experts, eliminating the Education Department &#8220;would require a filibuster-proof, 60-vote majority in the Senate,&#8221; the Journal noted.
Under Trump, the Department of Education has already taken steps to end the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and radical gender ideology. 
In February, the department <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/education-dept-slashes-600-million-in-grants-promoting-divisive-ideologies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slashed</a> more than $600 million in grants with groups that trained teachers and educational agencies in Critical Race Theory and DEI. The grants funded training in Critical Race Theory, DEI, social justice activism, “anti-racism,” and instruction on white privilege and white supremacy, according to the Education Department. 
Last week, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-launches-end-dei-portal-for-reporting-schools-discriminatory-practices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rolled out</a> an “End DEI” portal for parents around the country to submit reports of alleged racial or sex discrimination for potential investigation by the Department of Education.
