Conservatives across our nation have long advocated for the abolition of the Department of Education (DoE) as it has become clear that crooked D.C. politicians and bureaucrats cannot be trusted. While RINOs and other do-nothing Republicans have talked big games for years on the issue, President Trump appears to be poised to direct his Education Secretary, wife of entertainment mastermind Vince McMahon and former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), to dismantle the DoE and return the power to the states.

Minnesota GOP legislators should be taking note!

In a Final Mission memo, McMahon informed the federal agency employees that she has been directed to “send education back to the states” and eliminate “bureaucratic bloat”, which she plans to do “quickly and responsibly”. This comes as news breaks surrounding a potential Executive Order. This sign of strength highlights what Republican politicians SHOULD be doing, but in Minnesota, the RINOs and Dems will work together to maintain and expand funding of the MN DoE and power of Education Minnesota union boss lobbyists.

While several news outlets have obtained a copy of the alleged draft executive order, the mainstream media has worked in unison to block the public from seeing it.

As reported, the order requires the department to reallocate and reassign their functions that would be more “effectively managed by other agencies”. A larger goal of this move is to remove the D.C. footprint and remove the conglomeration of Washington D.C. power. Additionally, there are seemingly no plans to eliminate financial aid like the Pell Grant or disability protections required under law and Trump is instead going to focus on making the programs fair and operable. 

The elimination of the DoE would seemingly free up $80 billion from their yearly discretionary budget spending and return power delegated under the 10th Amendment back to the states, as it belongs. The DoE’s dissolution cannot be done solely through Presidential Executive Orders and must be approved through Congress. As the GOP has control of both federal chambers, Trump’s only hurdle may be RINOs who refuse to go along with the MAGA DOGE agenda.

While the U.S. has had an Education agency in some capacity since 1879, it wasn’t until 1979 when President Jimmy Carter gave it a singular Department and started its trend towards a bloated, heavy-handed, regulatory monster. Beforehand, the agency existed within the Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare (1953-1979), the Federal Security Agency (1939-1953), and the Dept. of Interior (1869-1939).

From single-room schoolrooms and lawyering learned/licensing acquired through apprenticeships and oral tests, our founding fathers never intended for a bloated agency to push woke propaganda and regulate every detail of our lives. Education is a local issue and should be dealt with as locally as possible: From the state down to the county down to the school board down to the family.

Unfortunately, RINOs in the MN Legislature appear to have no intention of shrinking government and increasing parental rights. After the House GOP gave up all leverage in a deal with Dems, they removed all potential to pass legislation with their temporary 67 person majority. Due to this and an unwillingness to fight, Minnesota will likely some variation of the Walz Education Budget passed. House Education Finance Committee Chair, RINO Ron Kresha, is a tool of the Establishment to maintain the status quo. He will fork over billions of your tax dollars for a broken, woke education system without thinking twice. 

If House Republicans were serious about localizing education, expanding school choice, protecting home-schooling families, blocking faulty student vax requirements, removing woke propaganda from schools, and other conservative policy goals then they would have proposed their own 2026-2027 Edu. budget by now! Since that is yet to exist, there is no doubt that the GOP will work within the Walz framework and fail to deliver for the base. In Walz' proposed budget, their #1 priority is a weaponized, Socialist interpretation of "equity" and increases 2026 spending from this year's projections.

Education Minnesota is a left wing union with bosses that fund Democrat candidates across the state. In 2022, their political action committee (PAC) spent nearly $4 million, with over $2.5 million alone going to the Dems' House, Senate, and State Central committees. Teachers cannot fully opt out of their union dues funding the PAC but they can request a refund, however, they must do so every single year. In addition, their national union arm does the same thing with the dues they collect from the states! Conservative teachers have been left without real representation.

Wile Trump is DEFUNDING the entities that empower the Left, Minnesota RINO legislators will continue funding leftist garbage propaganda!

Outsider thinking is necessary to localize education, the Establishment has created this mess and it will be free-thinkers who get us out. As President Trump comes from the business world, he wisely surrounded himself with Linda McMahon, who has an unbelievable business acumen of her own. While some discount McMahon’s abilities due to her involvement in the spectacle of professional wrestling, including her participation in some WILD and hilarious segments, McMahon has serious political chops.

McMahon is a two time U.S. Senate candidate in deep blue Connecticut and increased the GOP vote percentage by over 11% in 2010 and over 33% in 2012. She served as the Administrator of the Small Business Admin. under Pres. Trump and later the Chair for the America First Policy Institute. McMahon has additionally served as a strong anti-establishment voice on the Connecticut Board of Education in 2009 after being appointed by GOP Governor Jodi Rell and has completed a semester of student teaching.

Aside from shared anti-establishment business roots and political beliefs, McMahon and Trump have also both fallen victim to Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Stunner, though neither effectively sold it. It is clear that their energy is instead best spent delivering government-shrinking, cost-cutting, pro-freedom, anti-establishment victories for the MAGA base and saving our country!

McMahon’s nomination to run the DoE passed the Senate along party lines despite previous bipartisan support for her. The outsider thinking that she and Trump possess will allow states to reclaim wasted money and provide a more expansive educational landscape. However, MN RINOs clearly do not have the same FIGHT in them!

Control of education must be put back into the hands of families, not the government!
