Minnesota’s Tim Waltz government on Thursday argued that the Trump administration’s decision to close the Department of Education (ED) would allow quarantine to resume.
President Donald Trump signed executives order On Thursday, Education Secretary Linda McMahon began shutting down her agency, fulfilling her campaign promises, seven days after March 13 announced that she had cut the workforce by nearly 50% between voluntary acquisitions and layoffs. Walz said MSNBC host Rachel Maddow Trump realized his “long-aged dream” of conservatives during a nearly two-minute rant, in the meantime, evoking his son on the autism spectrum.

“Well, we knew it was coming, but that’s still a day I’m afraid of. I was certainly scared of it now, as governor, parent, teacher, and the sad part about this is that Donald Trump knows nothing about education,” Waltz argued. “It was a long-standing dream of crushing the public education system, receiving the money and moving it to private schools that do not exist in many regions or rural areas.”

“And then, to undermine some of the duties of Ed’s Ministry, we will ensure that everyone is educated, regardless of race, religion or ability,” Waltz continued. “You know, students like my son who rely on ideas and individual education are planning to make sure they are treated equally and receive the best possible education. That’s a distinctive feature of America. I think our public education system is a big contribution to the American world.”
Trump’s order directed McMahon to provide efficient and uninterrupted American families where “services, programs, and benefits” are dependent on institutions. Waltz claimed that Trump was acting in opposition to the American people.
“He’s surrounded by people who don’t know anything about education and wants to make this about bureaucracy and reduction. It’s about children. This is about access to broadband in their schools,” Walz argued. “This is about making sure you were talking about education, what we learned, and that is to make sure we don’t have a situation with the Civil Rights Bureau and the Department of Education and we don’t have a Ruby Bridge escort to the school with the police.
Secretary McMahon, a former executive at World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), said statement On Thursday, the program released that it will not be affected by orders. (Related: “Morning Joe” panelists claim that Trump is dealing with the education sector because he wants stupid voters)
“Closening the department does not mean cutting off funds from those who rely on them. We will continue to support K-12 students, students with special needs, university borrowers and others who rely on other mandatory programs,” says McMahon. “We will responsibly eliminate bureaucracy by following the law and working through Congress to ensure a legal and orderly transition.”
According to 2024 data from the national report card, students’ test scores fell below pre-pandemic levels across the country, but mathematics and reading scores saw the biggest decline in 50 years. data The National Center for Educational Statistics was released in 2023.
