I for one, love living in a country where the majority of the population is uneducated.
Also, since my student loans are payable to the Department of Education, surely this means Trump is cancelling them

>promised the federal school funding appropriated by Congress to assist low-income school districts and students would continue.
So it is quite literally just for show. Amazing.

People really need to learn what an executive order can and cannot do.
He can (try to) fire every member of the department and opt not to replace them (legally dubious).
He can (try to) impound the department’s funds and obligatory expenditures (again, legally dubious).
But he cannot actually abolish the department. Legally it still exists, even if temporarily a skeleton. Any future admin can easily refund and restaff the department.

The Department of Education Organization Act is written, as I imagine most laws are, in a “shall do” form. The transfer of authorities and duties to DoEd are also in an imperative form.
Regardless of impoundment or meddling by the secretary of education the executive must do those things correct? Trump can do a shitty job at them but legally he cannot stop right?
To what degree will anyone on SCOTUS other than Alito and Thomas allow him to do a shitty job or stop is the question I guess.
