Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Allow Dismantling of Education Department

A lower court temporarily blocked the downsizing of the federal agency last month.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on June 6 to allow it to resume dismantling the U.S. Department of Education, following a lower courtโ€™s previous order halting the process.

A federal district court issued an injunction last month blocking the process, directing the government to rehire some of the departmental employees who had been laid off.

โ€œEach day this preliminary injunction remains in effect subjects the Executive Branch to judicial micromanagement of its day-to-day operations,โ€ Solicitor General D. John Sauer said in the new emergency application.

โ€‹โ€‹President Donald Trump campaigned on shuttering the department.

On March 20, he signed Executive Order 14242, pledging to close the agency, which he said โ€œhas entrenched the education bureaucracy and sought to convince America that Federal control over education is beneficial.โ€

The department โ€œdoes not educate anyoneโ€ and โ€œmaintains a public relations office that includes over 80 staffers at a cost of more than $10 million per year,โ€ the executive order states.

In a May 22 order, U.S. District Judge Myong Joun of Massachusetts ordered the government to rehire about 1,400 laid-off employees and reverse other actions aimed at downsizing the department.

Joun said that for more than 150 years, โ€œthe federal government has played a crucial role in education.โ€ Since it was created in 1979, the departmentโ€™s โ€œrole in education across the nation cannot be understated,โ€ he added.

The agency oversees the federal student loan system, performs research for states and schools, distributes federal funds, and enforces compliance with various federal laws.

Joan said itโ€™s clear that the Trump administrationโ€™s โ€œtrue intention is to effectively dismantle the Departmentโ€ without first obtaining the required congressional approval.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
