Trump's Education Agenda: Potential Cuts and Policy Shifts

President-elect Donald Trump's plan to dismantle the Education Department conflicts with his campaign promises, which rely on the department's Office of Civil Rights. This office has the power to enforce policies on transgender athletes, race and gender education, and antisemitism by threatening to withdraw federal funding from non-compliant schools. Trump's administration may use this leverage to quickly implement changes, despite the lengthy process of altering existing regulations like Title IX.
