Elizabeth Warren is having a meltdown, and for once, it’s not about student loans. This time, the senator from Massachusetts has launched a full-blown “investigation” into President Donald Trump’s long-promised plan to shut down the Department of Education—and she’s pulling out all the stops to keep Washington’s bloated bureaucracy intact.
On Thursday, Warren announced she’s launching a so-called “Save Our Schools Campaign,” claiming she wants to examine the “harm” President Trump’s executive order might inflict on students, families, and teachers. What she’s really doing? Scrambling to protect the top-heavy federal education machine that Trump is finally pulling the plug on.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about helping students. This is about preserving control for left-wing elites in D.C. who’ve used the Department of Education as their personal woke playground for decades. It’s no secret that the Department’s real job hasn’t been to help kids—it’s been to push diversity quotas, gender ideology, and union payoffs. Trump’s move? A long-overdue correction.
As promised during his campaign, President Trump signed an executive order instructing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take “all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education.” That’s right—the top-down control freaks who’ve been micromanaging your kid’s curriculum from Washington are finally being shown the door. And predictably, Warren is losing her mind.
In her press release, Warren recited the usual liberal panic script, claiming the DOE is “responsible for protecting students from civil rights violations, fraudulent for-profit colleges, and predatory student loan servicers.” What she forgot to mention is how the Department has ballooned into a partisan enforcement tool, rubber-stamping woke ideology and protecting the same failing public school systems that leave kids more indoctrinated than educated.
She even admitted that Massachusetts—her own state—is already leading in education. Funny how that success didn’t require federal overreach, isn’t it?
Trump’s vision is clear: cut the bloated bureaucracy and send control back to the states and local communities—the people who actually know their students, not the ones sitting in climate-controlled offices in D.C. That’s not “harmful,” that’s called common sense.
Warren’s outrage reads like a laundry list of progressive priorities in full panic mode. She wrote twelve separate letters to leftist education groups like the NEA, NAACP, and the American Federation of Teachers, begging for backup to oppose Trump’s agenda. And you can bet those groups—flush with union dues and liberal talking points—will gladly play along.
Meanwhile, Secretary McMahon responded like a boss: “President Trump believes that the bureaucracy in Washington should be abolished so that we can return education to the states, where it belongs. I wholeheartedly support and agree with this mission.”
Amen. Because let’s face it, the Department of Education has become nothing more than a money-sucking DEI slush fund. Half of its workforce has already been let go under Trump’s orders, and the rest of the building is likely spending more time on gender pronoun seminars than helping kids read and write.
Of course, Warren’s real fear isn’t about “delays in services” or “risk to students.” Her fear is that Trump is succeeding. She knows that parents across the country are fed up—with the failing test scores, the radical curriculums, and the useless red tape. And she knows that if Trump dismantles the federal education cartel, the entire progressive house of cards could come crashing down.
Good.
Because for decades, we’ve been told that Washington knows best. Meanwhile, classrooms got more chaotic, students learned less, and parents were pushed further to the sidelines. President Trump is reversing that tide, returning power to where it belongs: the states, the schools, and the families.
Let Warren rant. Let her send as many letters as she wants. America is done with top-down education control. The days of bloated agencies babysitting our schools are over. The Trump administration is putting kids and parents first—and the bureaucrats last.
