Magaziner Statement on Trump Executive Order to Dismantle Department of Education

March 20, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Rep. Seth Magaziner (RI-02) released the following statement following President Trump’s signing of an Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education: “The Department of Education plays a vital role in ensuring every child has an equal opportunity to succeed and today, by ordering the dismantling of the Department, President Trump has broken that commitment. Rhode Island receives significant funding from the Department of Education to help students in every school district, and especially those with special learning needs, get access to the services they deserve. President Trump and Elon Musk’s push to slash education funding to finance tax breaks for billionaires is as reckless as it is shameful.”
