South Dakota Sen. Rounds Proposes Bill to Eliminate Education Dept., Save $1B
Nov 21, 2024, 10:24 PM
South Dakota Republican Senator Mike Rounds has introduced a bill titled the 'Returning Education to Our States Act' aimed at eliminating the U.S. Department of Education, which was established in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter. This legislative move follows President-elect Donald Trump's campaign promise to dismantle the department. The bill proposes redistributing the department's critical federal programs to other departments, potentially saving $1 billion, according to Rounds. The senator expressed his support for the initiative on social media, highlighting the need to remove federal bureaucrats from schools. Rounds' action signifies a commitment to deliver on Trump's vow to dismantle the Department of Education.
