About this listen

Forty-five years after its creation, the Department of Education has spent $3 trillion, even as educational outcomes have declined and the agency now swims in student-loan debt. On this episode of All Things, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon breaks down Donald Trump's plan to return education to the states--and to ultimately close the department. She explains cuts to the federal bureaucracy; plans to overhaul the department's behemoth K-12 grant program; the administration's fight with colleges over antisemitism and woke ideology, as well as Harvard's lawsuit; and the ongoing effort to move some 1.8 million borrowers back into student-loan repayment plans.
