Improving Education Outcomes by Empowering Parents, States, and Communities

Welcome to the show! Today, we're diving into a potentially seismic shift in the landscape of American education. On March 20th, 2025, a Presidential Executive Order was issued with the stated goal of "Improving Education Outcomes by Empowering Parents, States, and Communities." This order calls for a significant change: the closure of the U.S. Department of Education and the return of authority over education to the individual states and local communities. We'll break down the key points of this order and explore the potential implications for students, parents, teachers, and the future of education in America.
