President Donald Trump said on Thursday (March 6) that he wants U.S. states to run schools after the potential abolishment of the Education Department.&quot;I want to bring the schools, I want to bring the schools back to the states. And, you know, I&#x27;ve said it a hundred times we’re ranked at the bottom of the list and yet we spend more,&quot; he said. Trump told reporters that he thinks student loans will be handled by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Small Business Administration or the Commerce Department if the Education Department is abolished.Trump, 78, promised to decentralize education as he campaigned for a return to the White House, saying he would devolve the department&#x27;s powers to state governments.The US Department of Education, which was established in 1979 under former president Jimmy Carter, by law cannot be shuttered without Congress passing an act with 60 votes in favor in the Senate.However, as with other agencies in the federal bureaucracy under Trump&#x27;s second administration, the department could see widespread slashes to programs and employees, kneecapping its functionality.The Republican leader&#x27;s threat to shut down the education department has angered Democrats, teachers&#x27; unions and many parents, who see it as an attack on the public education system.
