Trump’s Mantra from Schools to FEMA: ‘Move it Back to the States’

Trump’s Mantra from Schools to FEMA: ‘Move it Back to the States’
SHARE

President Trump’s push to close down the Education Department has been a consistent theme throughout his political career, despite not being a central focus of his campaigns. His rationale for shuttering the agency has always revolved around the idea of returning control to the states. This stance was reiterated during his 2024 presidential race, where he emphasized that individual states should have authority over their children’s education.

While the federal government has historically had limited involvement in education, primarily focusing on college loans and civil rights enforcement in schools, Mr. Trump’s executive order to close the department signals a shift towards empowering parents, states, and communities to take the lead in education. This move aligns with the broader conservative agenda of reducing federal oversight and promoting local control across various policy areas.

The concept of devolving power to the states, known as “New Federalism,” has been a longstanding goal of conservative politicians since the 1970s. By transferring social programs to the states, these leaders aimed to diminish the influence of the federal government and disrupt alliances that threatened conservative power. Mr. Trump’s attempt to abolish the Education Department represents a significant departure from the federal government’s role in education since the Civil Rights era.

Critics argue that shifting responsibilities to states could place undue burdens on local governments ill-equipped to handle the financial and administrative challenges. Democratic Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts criticized the move as a “shell game” that would shift costs without providing adequate support. In contrast, Republican governors like Ron DeSantis, Kim Reynolds, and Mike DeWine have supported the president’s decision, emphasizing the need for flexibility in tailoring education to meet local needs.

While the Trump administration argues that states are better positioned to address education issues, concerns remain about the potential impact on funding, curriculum standards, and support for vulnerable student populations. States already play a significant role in education funding and decision-making, but federal laws prohibit Washington from dictating curriculum standards or other educational measures. The extent to which states can effectively manage these responsibilities in the absence of federal support remains uncertain.

Despite Mr. Trump’s characterization of the Education Department as a bloated bureaucracy, its workforce is relatively small compared to other government agencies. Critics question how ending federal involvement in education would improve student outcomes, especially given the administration’s focus on other policy priorities. Recent investigations into state school systems in California and Maine highlight the administration’s continued interest in education policy, even as it advocates for decentralization of decision-making.

In conclusion, President Trump’s efforts to close the Education Department reflect a broader push towards decentralized governance and local control. While his intentions may align with conservative principles of limited government intervention, the practical implications of this shift remain a subject of debate among state officials and education stakeholders. The ultimate impact on students, families, and communities will depend on how effectively states can navigate the challenges of assuming greater responsibility for education.
