President Donald Trump has tasked Education Secretary Linda McMahon with dismantling the Department of Education. Following a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Scripps News spoke with McMahon and asked about what's been done to achieve that goal so far. McMahon reiterated that there is still no set timeline for the process, and noted as she has before that any such shutdown of the department will need buy-in from Congress.

McMahon said she has been "working with governors, across the country, working with superintendents of schools, to just talk about what's best practices to help, help them with tools that they will need to do that. At the same time looking at where the actual work of the Department of Education will be best handled."

"It's all moving in a very good direction," McMahon said of the process.

The potential for changes at the Education Department have raised concerns that programs that provide for special needs education could lose their effectiveness. McMahon sought to allay those concerns.

any such shutdown of the department will need buy-in from Congress.

It's NOT a matter of "buy-in", it MUST BE LEGAL AUTHORIZATION BY LEGISLATION. A "yeah, go ahead" piece of verbal vomit from some random GOP nut in Congress is NOT "authorization".

1. Don't trust one word coming from Cruella de Betsy, devastation of education is their goal.

If you don't have the money to pay for expensive religious affiliated private schools and work away from home, your kids and you would be fucked and that's the exact plan.

... is toward the funeral home committing your remains to the cesspool that spawned you.
