Is it the most controversial and most unpopular EO of Trump 2.0 so far?

I guess it's a good move. I've looked at the numbers. It’s insane this was allowed to happen.

  • The average salary at the Department of Education was roughly $144,000 per year
  • That number increased in 2025 to $145,489 per year
  • There are an estimated 4,144 employees at the DoE
  • That’s $602,906,000 annually JUST IN SALARIES

Unpopular and imo one of the most consequential moves long term, gutting a powerful and bloated instrument of propaganda that has failed over and over.

Which is also why I don't expect it to happen. Government schools are too important to the machine.

Fighting this will also be easy. They're gonna frame it like "He wants to abolish educate itself!" "He doesn't want an educated population because that foils his evil fascist plans!"
