House Republicans have given their seal of approval to a plan to dismantle the US Department of Education, a move that has long been championed by the Trump administration. However, the proposal's chances of becoming law are looking increasingly slim after receiving a lukewarm response from Senate Republicans. The plan, which would effectively break up the Education Department and transfer its responsibilities to other federal agencies, has been met with skepticism by many lawmakers who question its feasibility and potential impact on the nation's education system. As the proposal heads to the Senate for consideration, it remains to be seen whether it will be able to overcome the significant hurdles that lie ahead.


House Republicans blessed the Trump administration’s Education Department breakup. Those prayers likely won’t be answered in the Senate.
