President Trump has made a bold move by signing an executive order aimed at dismantling the federal Department of Education (DOE), fulfilling a longstanding promise to conservatives. Now, I’m not going to lie—on the surface, it’s satisfying to see a president finally take a swing at an overreaching federal agency that’s been meddling in our…
