From Fox News:
Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., said he has been in discussions with President Trump’s White House to revive his bill to dismantle the Department of Education, which would codify the latest executive order. In the lead up to Trump’s much-anticipated executive order to abolish the department, his administration had been in talks with a longtime advocate of doing so: Rounds. “The federal BUREAUCRACY of Education has never educated a single student,” the senator told Fox News Digital in a statement. “It’s time to shut it down. Today’s news is a step in the right direction. Congress should follow the executive branch’s lead and act accordingly. I am working on legislation that would return education decisions to states and local school districts while maintaining important programs like special education and Title I.”
