AFC Reacts to President Trump’s Executive Order to Close the Department of Education

The American Federation for Children (AFC) responds to the forthcoming Executive Order from President Donald Trump related to closing the Department of Education and returning authority to the states.

Statement from Tommy Schultz, CEO, American Federation for Children

“With this executive order, President Trump continues taking steps to fulfill his campaign promises on education, and now it is time for Congress to send school choice legislation to his desk so that he can fulfill his other mandate to the voters.

As soon as President Trump signs this executive order directing the end of the federal Department of Education, and later signs the Educational Choice for Children Act into law, he will have both brought down a failed bureaucratic machine in DC, and brought school choice to every state.”
