Trump wins big on schools with DOE firings

New York Post Op-Ed deputy editor Adam Brodsky explains why the Supreme Court’s latest ruling marks a major victory for both Donald Trump and American taxpayers. By upholding the president’s authority to fire Education Department employees, the decision clears the way for Trump to slash the agency’s bloated workforce and advance his broader goal of dismantling it altogether.
Brodsky breaks down how the Department of Education has spent billions with little to show in academic improvement while pushing progressive agendas and empowering teachers unions. With Trump now poised to cut more than a thousand jobs from the agency, Brodsky argues that the ruling signals a return to local control of education and a step toward reducing federal overreach in America’s schools.
